Take a drink from the moon!

Hello everybody, let's blast into space and get a glimpse of what N.A.S.A discovered. I have some information that I think you should know. With that being said, I needed to make this intro look like a paragraph.

First, the water that you are thinking of is not what was found on the moon. In fact, these are water molecules that have been found. Now how did N.A.S.A find this water on the moon? Well, N.A.S.A’s SOFIA found this in Clavius Crater, one of the largest craters visible from Earth, located in the Moon’s southern hemisphere. About as much as a twelve ounce water bottle. It was trapped in a cubic meter of moon soil.

Besides the fact that SOFIA will be tasked with imaging other areas of the moon to find deposits of water, the practical results of the discovery are, as yet, unclear. NASA, as Space News writes, is not changing its plan to landing near the South Pole of the moon and eventually building a base there. Huge amounts of water ice exist in that region in permanently darkened craters. The South Pole also has highlands that are covered in sunlight, perfect for building solar power collectors.

The moon is the place where things can be stored. Of many resources, enough that it could become the platform of a space-based industrial revolution. Water will be the resource that will make everything possible. Water can be drunk and can be used for farming; it can be refined into rocket fuel, making the moon into a refueling stop for spacecraft headed deeper into the solar system, to Mars and beyond. (Space elevator) Water on the moon is more than gold. It will ensure that life beyond the Earth is possible.

(This is a story in exact words from “The New Yorker”) It was a ten-hour flight from takeoff to landing, wheels up just after 6 p.m., from Palmdale, California, out over the Pacific. For the first nine hours and forty minutes, Casey Honniball, a twenty-seven-year-old planetary scientist, didn’t have much to do. She took a nap, ate a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich, and used her laptop to work on research proposals

. The plane seemed bigger than usual—almost all of the seats had been removed, along with much of the fuselage’s interior panelling—and it was very cold and very loud. In the main cabin, which looked like mission control, her fifteen fellow-passengers worked at alternating intervals behind giant computer consoles. A large blue rotating fixture, resembling a bank-vault door studded with scientific instruments, dominated the plane’s rear wall. It was the interior half of an eight-foot-wide infrared telescope, its mirrors angled out the left side of the plane and into space. Honniball watched its hydraulic counterweight move subtly and ceaselessly, compensating for turbulence.

Summary: First, the water that you are thinking of is not what was found on the moon. In fact, these are water molecules that have been found. Now how did N.A.S.A find this water on the moon? Well, N.A.S.A’s SOFIA found this in Clavius Crater, one of the largest craters visible from Earth, located in the Moon’s southern hemisphere.
