So, remember how NASA tried to blow up the moon to get at its molten cheese core? Well apparently they discovered a 'significant' amount of water in the process. Science!
"The discovery was announced by project scientist Anthony Colaprete at a midday news conference. "Indeed, yes, we found water," he said."The find is based on preliminary data collected when the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, intentionally crashed October 9 into the permanently shadowed region of Cabeus crater near the moon's south pole.
"After the satellite struck, a rocket flew through the debris cloud, measuring the amount of water and providing a host of other data, Colaprete said.
"The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon," the space agency said in a written statement shortly after the briefing began."
Hell yes! A new chapter in understanding the moon!
There is water on the moon. Specifically, frozen water.
THE END
