The U.S. Great Lakes have some competition. The moon. Yes, that old thing in the sky may hold more than all of the water contained in the Great Lakes, according to a NASA-funded study. Water bottling companies and thirsty-but-dry states are already scurrying to find ways of bringing the H2O back to Earth. Think of the money that could be made. “Moon Water: It’s out of this world.”
Just kidding, of course. For the time being. The Great Lakes are loved by people in bordering states like Michigan, the province of Ontario, Canada, and outsiders thirsty for their share of the largest surface freshwater system on the planet. Fortunately, there aren’t any lakes on the moon ready for sucking. The study, highlighted by iTWire, says the water is located in the moon’s interior, and is indigenous to the moon. Moon drilling, anyone?
The research says the volume of water molecules locked inside minerals in the moon’s interior could exceed the amount of water in the Great Lakes. Could.
