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.
