Water on the Moon, Droid Phone Focus and much more news

Monday, November 23, 2009

The finding of “significant” amounts of water on our Moon, not only
brings the hope of a permanent base stations closer to a reality, it
also lends a real opportunity to using the Moon as a place to launch
interplanetary missions from.  After NASA finished its initial review
of the date from the LACROSS space probes impact on the lunar surface,
it became clear that there was a lot of water by the standards most
scientists would expect.  About 25 gallons of water was observed, and
these are only the initial findings, further study of the data may yet
reveal even more.  Much of the impact plume rose up high above the
lunar surface nearly directly perpendicular the impact, but a
significant portion also spread out at a much lower angle, so it is
very possible that there is more water to be found.

When you talk about finding water on the Moon, we aren’t just talking
about having something for future astronaughts  to drink, in fact that
would be one of the lesser needs as much of that can be recycled.  The
real benefit in finding water on the Moon comes from the fact that we
can take that water and using solar energy, convert it into two of the
most sought after substances in space….Air and Energy.  Oxygen to
breath is important, but far more important for future exploration  is
the hydrogen rocket fuel, with enough water, we could send ships to
the moon and refuel them there for interplanetary missions.  The idea
that traveling to Mars and beyond is a big step closer  is not lost on
scientist, and they are understandably excited by the idea.  Here at
ThinksMedia.com I can certainly say, this is one of the most exciting
things I’ve heard since the possible finding of fossilized bacteria on
rocks from the red planet, Mars.
