NASA'S Exciting Moon News

News from NASA that they have an 'exciting major announcement' to make about the Moon and curiously the results are courtesy of the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), the same observatory which recently detected oxygen in the Martian atmosphere and NASA has teased that the discovery will have some bearing on the Artemis program which is the plan to send humans back to the lunar surface in 2024.
It could be they found life there or that it is actually made of cheese after-all but seeing as the person doing the presenting is Dr. Casey Honniball, and her page on the NASA website puts her current project as 'Investigation of water at pyroclastic deposits on the Earth and Moon using new data sets and techniques', it is pretty safe to assume that the exciting major announcement will be H2O related.
Exciting in that it will help us establish a moon base but my mind went to straight to the clangers or finding out where i could order a massive cracker
