And on the moon found water
Although there are traces of many seas on the moon, scientists have long thought that it is dry at the moment. They were wrong. In a study published in the journal Nature, scientists from Brown University, led by Ayberto Sala, found water molecules in a sample of gravel delivered from the moon by the Apollo spacecraft.
The findings, indicating the existence of water in the deep seams of the Moon’s soil, have changed scientific ideas and, perhaps, our own thoughts about our nearest neighbor . In the perspective of this kind of knowledge can have incredible in terms of the amount of benefits gained effects.
Mr. Sal believes that with the help of water we can more likely conquer Earth’s satellite, because with the help of hydrogen a person can launch many energy-saving stations that will help maintain the life support of the first lunar rovers (first if Armstrong did not land on the moon's surface).

Pebble itself appeared as a result of the eruption of a lunar volcano about three billion years ago, when the moon was still a cold piece of magma. Although the water was first found by the lunar reconnaissance in 1999, it was not enough of those data, because it would be reasonable to assume that any traces of water may come from gases that appear after meteorites hit the satellite surface.
Therefore, scientists had to make their way through the bureaucratic system of NASA for more than three years in order to obtain permission to test the land collected from 1969 to 1972. In addition, a variety of substances were found in the soil using spectrometry, among them fluorine, chlorine and sulfur. According to the researchers, water was found on the deep layers of the soil, and therefore the theory of "meteoric water" here in no case can not be applied.
Prospects for the use of lunar water is very different. But the first thing you need to know the places of its concentration and total reserves, and scientists will do in the near future. The discovery of colonies near water deposits would help the first settlers to obtain the necessary oxygen and hydrogen fuel. The first step towards settling the satellite will be the results of the Reconaissance orbiter, which will study the south pole of our satellite over the coming year, and therefore in 2009 we should expect new messages from such a close, but such a mysterious Moon.
