Water on the moon, carbon on an asteroid could turn science fiction to fact
- Friday | 30th October, 2020
The exciting but rather ‘coy’ announcement this week that there is more water on the moon than previously thought makes you wonder where this is going. We know that several nations have plans (not all aligned) to set up permanent bases on the moon and there have been a flurry of moon-based news and activity. Yet does it ring true that NASA recently discovered water molecules in sunlit areas, where before they believed it was just in permanent shadow? Put these two stories, water on the moon and collectible carbon on asteroids, together and you have something that straddles the line between science fiction and fact. Let us hope that the combination of announcements of water on the moon, carbon on asteroids and Lunar Disney does not trigger a James Bond-style battle between the nations of Earth, who are trying to get there first.
