Episode Details

Big news about the Moon: scientists have found out it’s hiding way more water than we ever thought! 🌕💧 This water isn’t in big puddles or lakes but trapped in tiny glass beads and within the Moon’s soil. This discovery is a game-changer because water means we could support future Moon bases—think astronauts drinking Moon water or splitting it to make rocket fuel. 🚀 Scientists used advanced tech to find it, and now they're figuring out how to collect and use it. Who knows? This might be the key to kickstarting space exploration like never before! 🌌
