Although the moon remains drier than any desert on Earth, NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has confirmed water does exist on the moon in very small quantities.
Data from three spacecraft indicate that a thin film of water coats the surface of the soil in at least some spots, a discovery that raises the possibility of future lunar bases, colonization and a source of drinking water and fuel.
For decades, the moon had been considered a dead and uninteresting world by scientists. The Apollo missions of the 1960s and ’70s brought back some rocks that contained tiny amounts of trapped water, but scientists at the time decided they had been contaminated by water from Earth.
The discovery “will forever change how we look at the moon,” said Roger Clark, a scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
That is awesome. Is the ice left over from when the moon was still a part of the earth? Or possibly from meteors that struck the surface?
Let’s go back & find out! Who’s with me?
It’s not water. It’s Armstrong’s piss.
LOL. what a waste of time. scientists in nasa should have their funding stopped permenantly as they are wasting billions of dollors on idiotic things like this.
this could change things, like did you not read what it says.
im sure you cant find anything better in the world to discover,
why wont you get off your ass and try something
