India’s lunar mission finds evidence of water on the Moon

Dreams of establishing a manned Moon base could become reality within two decades after India’s first lunar mission found evidence of large quantities of water on its surface.

Data from Chandrayaan-1 also suggests that water is still being formed on the Moon. Scientists said the breakthrough — to be announced by Nasa at a press conference today — would change the face of lunar exploration.

The discovery is a significant boost for India in its space race against China. Dr Mylswamy Annadurai, the mission’s project director at the Indian Space Research Organisation in Bangalore, said: “It’s very satisfying.”

Wait for the liberals to say it's from water vapor because one of the astronauts left the engine running on one of those SUV's we sent up there.   :-)

An Indian mission to the moon reminds me of the Polish mission to land a man on the sun.
At night.

Well, the astronauts did spend quite a bit of time up there and when you gotta go, you gotta go.
