Moon's Billion Tons of Water Would Last a City Just 100 Years
Original: Moon’s Billion Tons of Water Would Only Last a City 100 Years
New coverage highlights research calculating that the Moon's estimated one billion tons of water, while seemingly vast, would supply a single city for only around a century. The finding puts the scale of lunar water reserves in perspective as space agencies plan crewed lunar bases and consider whether ice at the Moon's poles could support long-term human presence or be turned into rocket fuel.
Why now: Renewed interest in lunar exploration and plans for Moon bases is drawing attention to how limited the Moon's water resources actually are.
