Water on the Moon

The Moon may hold much more water than previously thought. New examinations of lunar rocks from the Apollo project and a meteorite of lunar material in North Africa has proved that the lunar soil may hold at least 100 times as much water as previously thought. It is not very much, ranging from 64 parts per billion to five parts per million, but it would still be enough to cover a surface the size of the Moon's in 1 metre of water. This is positive news for all of us who look forward to a future when humans and dogs will colonize the Moon, as the first step towards colonizing many celestial bodies. Water is essential for life from Earth, so colonization will be much easier when water is already there.
