Just overnight, scientists at NASA have discovered water on the moon near the Southern Pole in a large crater.

They didn't find just a little bit, they found a significant amount (as said by Anthony Colaprete). The total quantity of H2O spied by the instruments was more than 100kg. It came out of a 20m-30m wide hole dug up by the impacting Centaur rocket.

And hey, that's just one area... There's bound to be more around. Imagine, you don't just get a river, that river has to flow into something (not saying it's a river.... just a comparison Razz)

"It can be used for drinking water," said Mike Wargo, Nasa's chief lunar scientist for exploration systems.

"You can break it down and have breathable air for crews. But also, if you have significant quantities of this stuff, you have the constituents of one of the most potent rocket fuels - oxygen and hydrogen."

Read for yourself....

All these years, they speculated there must be water on the moon, and lookie there....
This is an amazing discovery....

I'm movin to the moon once they find a way to get an atmosphere.... They have the water, just need the air...
Who is with me? Razz

Just pop out of the water as they're heating it to make it drinkable...

Do they get internet connection on the moon? If not, you're on your own, buddy. (:

Kidding

I think this is a cool find. Where there's water, there's the possibility of life. I can't believe we're only just finding water now... \:

Who knows. Water = Oxygen somewhere. Oxygen and hydrogen = sustainable atmosphere... Just need like... dang, there is where chemistry failed me. I don't remember what else we need in our atmosphere.... lol
