NASA thanks ISRO, says water found on moon

WASHINGTON: NASA revealed that India's maiden lunar mission Chandrayaan-I had traced water molecules on the moon's surface. It also "thanked" ISRO for making the discovery possible. We want to thank ISRO for making the discovery possible. Moon till now was thought to be a very dry surface with lot of rocks, NASA said in a press conference.

It is great to see India and the US collaborate in space. Also good to see India contributing to the advance of human knowledge in this way. It is true that M3 is basically an American payload, but clearly a team spirit existed between the NASA and ISRO people on the job. Large heartedness & credit sharing on all sides. Makes me happy to see it, Space is our future. As humans, we need to quadruple the investment we're making on it.

People call it conspiracy but i know it for a fact.

India is the first to find water on moon and looses contact afterwards is it really coincident??

How many times NASA has been on moon but claim they found nothing??

or for that matter Russia or any country who has been out there.

i really find it hard to believe that India lost contact, or were shut down obviously so that they won't leak any more secret..

People OPEN your eyes before its too late, and i really hope India wouldn't join them.

Good to hear that its about humanity, not war or space stations with nukes...Go India Go.....

[Southland27]

So who will be first to send men back to the moon...USA, Russia, Japan, China, or.....India?? Perhaps the next big war will take place in space..!! We think we as humans are more advanced now, but you've only got to look at human history to see it keeps repeating itself.

It means that we as Americans hit PAYDIRT. Water is the key to life. As well as our biggest threat due to droughts etc. We can now find a way to to get water and ice back to America to sell. Its a money train
