Few drops of water on the moon


The Times has a front-page story dedicated to an Indian spaceship finding evidence of 'large quantities' of water on the moon.
It goes on to outline the implications for future space exploration.

They say: Harvesting water from a baseball-field-sized swathe of soil might yield "a nice glass of water", according to Carle Pieters of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, leader of the Chandrayaan-1 instrument team that made the detection.
Detail, details
