Water on the Moon!

That's right, NASA has officially announced that there is significant amounts of water near the south pole of our closest cosmic neighbor. About a month ago, NASA purposely launched a rocket into a crater near the moon's south pole, bringing up dust and debris that a small spacecraft following the rocket would test for water among the debris. This is an extremely important step on exploring our solar system. NASA can now consider setting up bases on the moon now that it has access to water. This opens up a lot of possibilities for space exploration and engineering. Having a base on the moon makes it a lot easier for us to reach Mars. Aerospace engineers are now going to be busy trying to create the materials and equipment needed for this. This discovery has forever changed the image of the moon, and has opened the opuurtunity to once again look at the moon with wonder and hope.
