NASA Finds Moon Ice, Evian Reviews Pricing Forecast
NASA apparently just found radar evidence from an instrument aboard Indian satellite Chandrayaan 1 that suggests 600 million metric tons of ice are chilling at the Moon’s lunar north pole. Before you start getting excited at the concept of pitching some aerogel domes and seeking your fortune mining helium-3, you still might want to consider the fact that it still costs about $10,000 USD per pound to put something into orbit. Nevertheless, this discovery greatly increases the Moon’s real estate value and will likely contribute to the eventual geopolitical headache over lunar property rights.
