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.

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?

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.

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

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...
