Water On Moon

Recommended Posts

Water on Moon: we could build a base and prepare for mission to MarsSince the return of the final missions of the Apollo programme, which brought samples of lunar rock back to Earth, it has been assumed widely that the Moon was dry.While some of the samples were found by laboratory analysis to contain water, most scientists felt it probable that this was the result of contamination through contact with our planet’s wet atmosphere.A minority of researchers, however, have always contended that the Moon might hold water at or just below its surface, which could potentially be exploited by future lunar missions.If this has indeed been confirmed by instruments carried aboard an Indian lunar orbiter, it would have important implications for the prospects for exploring our planet's only satellite. It would even advance the possibility that a manned base could be established there. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/scie...icle6846683.ece
