MOON SHINE Nasa Moon announcement 2020 LIVE – Water is found on lunar surface in major discovery

Live Blog


NASA has announced the discovery of water on the Moon's surface.
The US space agency revealed the finding on Monday during a press conference, branding it an "exciting new discovery".

It marks a huge boost to Nasa's plans to land astronauts on the Moon again.
Two astronauts – a man and a woman – will land at the lunar south pole by 2024 under what Nasa has called its Artemis programme.
They could drink the water found at the lunar surface, or possibly use it to make rocket fuel.
Today's announcement kicked off at 12.00 pm ET this afternoon (4.00pm UK time) and has now concluded.

However, we're still bringing you live reaction to the astonishing news from across the globe.

PREVIOUS STUDY
In a separate study published in Nature Astronomy, researchers say hidden pockets of water on the moon could be much more common than previously thought.
Researchers suggest that in some cases, tiny patches of ice might exist in permanent shadows no bigger than a penny.
The authors suggest that approximately 40,000 sq km of the lunar surface has the capacity to trap water.

Guess we can now fully explore the Moon or give it some freedom/liberation

kuna possibility high sana hawajawahi enda huko.
ona ata next scheduled landing ni 2024. with all the advanced tech available, how can they take 4 years to transport astronauts there if they did with kb memory

Nothing new here. This isn't even a discovery.

I remember this guy, Bill Stone, taking about it in a BBC interview and seeking to recruit investors to fund and expedition to the moon's south pole to mine for water and liquid hydrogen. These would be in turn be sold to space travel companies seeking other resources within the solar system and beyond. He made a very convincing case for that business model, likening it to the Magellan expedition. That was in 2009.

we can then assume that NASA has already mined all or most of those minerals and this is just for show and tell

Maybe the water discovery can prove that Moon was a place suitable for life a million years ago, but it doesn't mean it can be now. I mean yes, we can use water to produce rocket fuel and just drink it, but that is hardly enough for the real colonization, for humans at least.

if we were to live in another planet/body, which is more realistic, Mars or The Moon?
