APOD 2.1

water ice detected under the Lunar surface Ice was thrown up from the impact of a satellite from earth, and the resulting analysis suggests we may be able to find a much higher volume of H2O on the moon than previously thought. Whether or not we'd be able to mine it is unknown, but I would be interesting to see if we could get people onto the moon regularly. Waving my science fiction nerd flags here, human expansion into space would be interesting to see, if it's possible. And any settlement on the moon would be able to house a telescope that can see in all wavelengths of light. No atmosphere here.
