NASA confirmed today that the LCROSS mission was able to confirm the existence of water on the moon.
“We are ecstatic,” said Anthony Colaprete, LCROSS project scientist and principal investigator at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif. “Multiple lines of evidence show water was present in both the high angle vapor plume and the ejecta curtain created by the LCROSS Centaur impact. The concentration and distribution of water and other substances requires further analysis, but it is safe to say Cabeus holds water.”
Friggen awesome! If there could even be a trace of water on that prune pit of a pockmarked oversized asteroid, I bet there’s a damn good chance we’ll find it on Mars too.
