random article I picked: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-8880285/NASA-announces-water-moon.html / https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/oct/26/water-exists-on-the-moon-scientists-confirm

This is crazy

 

[Sybrix]

This is big news.

Having Water available on the moon will mean us creating liveable spaces on the moon.

Can see the UN or some other multi-nation body slicing up sections of the moon for space exploring nations. Give it 50 years after base establishment before the Moon Wars start.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

That's a literal game changer.
Until now it was thought that water could only be in frozen state in some deep craters and chasms on the moon.

 

[teezzy]

Wake me up when the moon has beer too

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Awesome. But since this is 2020 and people are busy being stupid political ideologues so no one will care.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Sounds like it would have to be mined and processed to be of any use, but that's really cool. One step closer to industrializing the moon.

 

[pramod]

How can this be possible?? I thought the temperatures there are below freezing....

 

[lock2k]

Great, now Perrier will be able to bottle it and sell it for a premium to fucktards around the world

 

[Pagusas]

given the moon has no atmosphere, what happens to the water when its heated to the point of evaporation/vaper? Wouldn't it escape into space?

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Does this have to do with the UFO over Hawaii?

 

[EviLore]

Big news. Could be used for support of human life or in the on-site production of fuel.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

That actually depends on which site of the moon you are on.

On the sunny side it's brutally hot.

 

[JimiNutz]

First we find water, next we find life.

Never thought of it this way, always thought it was cold entirely even in the sunny side. A search said it's 260 fahrenheit - brutally hot, indeed.

Its their public toilet

I love the music on this video, so relaxing

pretty dope. FYI they have found water and even snow on Mars in the past few years. this is surprising though since the moon has no atmosphere.

Huge Martian Crater 'Korolev' Appears Topped With Miles Of Pristine Snow

The European Space Agency's new images show a 51-mile-wide ice-filled depression in the surface of Mars caused by the impact of a meteorite or other celestial body.

Always thought it would frozen in some form not liquid water, very surprised.

 

[haxan7]

Uh, I really hope the US gets to it before China builds massive moon fortresses around the water.

also the moon has no atmosphere, so how???

 

[Birdo]

Shame it wasn't oil. The US would be there by tomorrow afternoon with a tanker.

 

[TrainedRage]

Did you know that if you go outside on a night with a full moon and stand in the shade of the moonlight its hotter than if you are standing IN the moonlight?

Also the moon is just a projection.

 

[Romulus]

It just shows that even some of the most desolate rocks can have water.

 

[Birdo]

I wonder how we will divide the Moon up. As far as nations go.

Would it just be first to create a border? Because I really doubt countries like China would be up for sharing land.

 

[infinitys_7th]

given the moon has no atmosphere, what happens to the water when its heated to the point of evaporation/vaper? Wouldn't it escape into space?

It's basically ice crystals interspersed in the lunar dust:

The water was discovered at high latitudes towards the moon’s south pole in abundances of about 100 to 400 parts per million H2O. “That is quite a lot,” said Mahesh Anand, professor of planetary science and exploration at the Open University in Milton Keynes. “It is about as much as is dissolved in the lava flowing out of the Earth’s mid-ocean ridges, which could be harvested to make liquid water under the right temperature and pressure conditions.”

So in 1 kg of lunar dust from these areas, there are about 0.1-0.4 g of water.

 

[johntown]

What if the water is just the Apollo astronauts pee?

 

[Hardensoul]

Couple years back, I started watching a lot of Ancient aliens and anything related to that. Then started watching moon videos. Makes you wonder!

This is why Trump is building Space Force.

America wont have to share.

Because the moon is really made of cheese ?!?

What about oil, that way we would colonize moon this week.

Sorry

Joke would've been appropriate 20 years ago. Oil isn't that valuable anymore.

I hope Nestle doesn't steal it

This sounds like something a flat earther might come up with .

Yup and not true.

Testing Flat-Earth Prediction: Is Moon Light Cooling?

Flat-earthers often claim that moonlight has a cooling property. I present the results of three independent experiments that test this claim.

The US is the largest producer of crude oil now. Has been for a while.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

I wonder if the body of water is wider than a mile, and will be crossed in style?

 

[Birdo]

Damn. All those deaths for nothing

If you think the US being the world police is all about oil...

Why is moon light cold?

Why is light from the moon cold? For example full moon light shining on a surface or material will cause it to be colder than a surface or object nearby that is shaded from the moonlight. What causes

physics.stackexchange.com

Actually, the Moon’s light (which is, of course, reflected sunlight) doesn’t have anything to do with it at all. It’s all about Radiative cooling.

Temperatures of surfaces under an unobstructed night sky will lose more of their heat than surfaces with obstructions, roofs, trees or clouds over them, and this happens even on nights when the Moon isn't present (which makes it harder to see, of course).

So yes its true but not for the reason people think.

gotta admit it would be pretty dope to discover dinosaurs on the moon

 

[Ememee]

We’re going to eventually live on the moon, huh?

“we”, meaning humans, probably way into the future, when most of us are gone.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

Heard rumors of cheese for years now. I guess finding water is good tho.

Why would god put fake dinosaur bones on the moon?
