"A Whiff of Water Found on the Moon," September 24, 2009. http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2009/924/1

Lunar scientists have found H2O deposits in lunar rocks. These discoveries lead to so many new possibilities for the future of work on or with the moon. It opens up a future for moon communities and and astronauts alike. The future astronauts, "moon pioneers" as i like to call them, can use this water as a way to transport their rockets and as a drinking source like the future communities. This bt of H2O that has everyone excited was discoverd by India's M3 spacecraft that has been orbiting the moon for quite some time. Future ambitons of NASA and other space reasearch organizations include new moon examinations and research. NASA plans to crash one of their older crafts into the moon to create maybe a geyser or at least a summoning of water to the surface.

I really enjoyed reading this article because it got me pumped up about the fact that there is a large revolution in store for mankind. There are endless oppurtunities it opens for mankind as we know it. There isn't even any pollution, wars, or over population to worry about. I'm excited to see what is in store for my generation and the generation ahead of me, to see what we can do to clean our world and maybe create a new one.
