NASA's VIPER rover is making a comeback, set to launch to the moon in 2027 with Blue Origin. This mission aims to explore water ice at the lunar south pole, crucial for future space endeavors.
A new study shows that overpumping and climate change have drastically reduced freshwater availability, surpassing ice melt as the main driver of sea level rise. This could spell disaster for food security and drinking water access.
A new analysis of lunar scans reveals fewer water ice deposits than previously thought, posing serious challenges for future moon colonization. Researchers are re-evaluating strategies for sourcing vital resources on the Moon.
