So Will this Stop the Lunacy of Blowing up the Moon?? New Find of Water..
They did find water on the moon.. maybe now they won't bother with the October 9th thing to put a chunk of hole in it??
I don't know or it makes them want to do it even more now!
But what was found is this... It's not a lot of water. If you took a two-liter soda bottle of lunar dirt, there would probably be a medicine dropperful of water in it, said University of Maryland astronomer Jessica Sunshine, one of the scientists who discovered the water. Another way to think of it is if you want a drink of water, it would take a baseball diamond's worth of dirt, said team leader Carle Pieters of Brown University.
So with that in mind why bother?? right??
But you know they will now more then ever!
The announcement comes two weeks before a NASA probe purposely smashes near the moon's south pole to see if it can kick up buried ice. Over the last decade, astronomers have found some signs of underground ice on the moon's poles. But this latest discovery is quite different. It finds unexpected and pervasive water clinging to the surface of soil, not absorbed into it.
