A surprising amount of water has been found to exist in the Moon's soil.
Data from three spacecraft, including India's Chandrayaan probe, shows that very fine films of H2O coat the particles that make up the lunar dirt.
The quantity is tiny but could become a useful resource for astronauts wishing to live on the Moon, scientists say.
"If you had a cubic metre of lunar soil, you could squeeze it and get out a litre of water," explained US moon researcher Larry Taylor.
Well I know that American spacecraft were involved but I bet a few people at NASA are grumbling about beginners luck given that the first probe the Indians send is the one that actually found proof. :p

Wow, a litre of water per cubic meter? That's significantly more than I would have expected up there.
(well, then again, a cubic meter is a sizable chunk of material)
-
You guys didn't expect them to urinate in the lander, did you? :P
-
India's launching space probes?
Hell, who knew.

Everyone but you it seems, it was on the news not too long ago.

Great, now we just need to launch a few bulldozers to scoop up cubic metres of lunar soil, and squeeze them.
-
One step closer to this.

One of my favourite sci-fi movie scenes EVER!!!!!!!
Just the breaking bit, sod the rest of it :nod:

Second that!

I've had a good brew called Blue Moon, but I don't know that it's the same. :p

Why worry about two crops (hops 'n grain) when you can just do potatoes? :nod:

SPACE VODKA!!!!!

now, who's the first to get there? and most importantly who's gonna be the first terran to drink lunar water? (not counting the astronauts and asuming someone will bring a little of it back to earth)

The head of the team who found it?

Perhaps we've found the solution to NASA's budget crisis: Sell moon water on Ebay...

hmmm, i wonder if it would be possible for anaerobic bacteria to survive
-
If that is even possible, that's got to be some tough stuff. Surviving that level of radiation would be... something else.
-
And imagine what it would do to your liver. :p

if fallout 3's taught you anything, its that you'd gain a random perk from the radiation.
the 1st time
if doing that one quest.

Probably. However it has to get there first.

True, but how do we know terrestrial bacteria haven't already arrived though the many crewed and non-crewed missions already made?
-
Mostly because such bacteria is very specialized, and wouldn't have survived the trip, or for that matter the storage before the trip.
-
There's imaginably been countless discussions pertaining to how celestial bodies are "seeded" with bacteria through smaller celestial bodies crashing into them. Given that case, it's possible the Earth gains new life forms on an... perhaps irregular basis. Such postulates have also went on to explain that is is perhaps how new diseases enter the environment.
