>Reliable sources report that there will be a press conference at NASA HQ at 2:00 pm this Thursday featuring lunar scientist Carle Pieters from Brown University.

>The topic of the press briefing will be a paper that will appear in this week's issue of Science magazine wherein results from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) aboard Chandrayaan-1 will be revealed.

>The take home message: there is a lot of water on the Moon.

This is going to make a permanent manned presence on the Moon that much easier.

WELL IF IT'S POSTED ON A BLOG IT MUST BE TRUE!!

Water on the moon... how did it get there?

Oxygen (and air pressure in general) has always been the bigger problem.

No, extracting oxygen from whatever water resources available is unlikely to be feasible.

I have not further investigated but there was a theory about a meteor so long ago when it hit the earth, a very big chunk from earth's surface flew to space which is now we call as the moon. If this is true it is understandable that moon has water because the minerals consisting the earth crust has significant amount of water with them because they are polar compounds they hold water. You might remember formulas like  MgO2.5H20
Water just surrounds the molecule and if they somehow form a crystal lattice with other minerals water would become free.

Mostly during the Late Heavy Bombardment. You know, by asteroids and shit.

If there is easily available water then oxygen is no problem. Just shoot a nuclear reactor up there and you have all the oxygen you want.

Its really a remarkable find because water is the most important resource for a human presence. Water is obviously needed for humans and plants to survive and you can make your own rocket propellant out of it.

The only question is just how much water and how easily accessible it is.

There needs to be a profit motive before any serious space exploration like this happens.  Noone, not even the US government, is going to blow hundreds of billions of dollars to do something just because it would be really awesome.

Jesus Christ you are dumb.

u mad?

If you want water turn on the tap or go to a river.

What is the big deal?

There's economical aspects. Finding a source of water—er, Dasani—would mean future manned missions to the moon would not need to bring tanks of it with them. Although establishing manned bases on the moon is still a far-future scenario, the existence of Dasani would make such a plan theoretically possible. Also, knowing that the liquid is there would likely lead to more sponsored exploration on the moon and an eventual bottling plant.

Bottled moon water?

I smell Onion.

that is all, you queers.

So did the press conference thingee ever happen or what?

Yes. Moon soil has about 0.1% of water in it. That's about 1 liter per cubic meter.
