Remember when NASA decided to explode the moon? Well, the whole point of that was to find water, well guess what???
oh wait, you probably already read the Headline and Deck…
yes, there is water on the moon. And no, it’s not just those liberal, idealist fucks the NYTimes reporting it.
BUT, don’t start expecting to live there anytime soon. There is still sciencing to be done.
The moon remains drier than any desert on Earth, but the water is said to exist on the moon in very small quantities. One ton of the top layer of the lunar surface would hold about 32 ounces of water, researchers said.
“If the water molecules are as mobile as we think they are — even a fraction of them — they provide a mechanism for getting water to those permanently shadowed craters,” said planetary geologist Carle Pieters of Brown University in Rhode Island, who led one of the three studies in Science on the lunar find, in a statement. “This opens a whole new avenue [of lunar research], but we have to understand the physics of it to utilize it.”
Finding water on the moon would be a boon to possible future lunar bases, acting as a potential source of drinking water and fuel.
With that said, go about your day.
