Default Moon Has 100 Times More Water, New Study Suggests

SPACE.com -- Moon Has 100 Times More Water, New Study Suggests
""If we were to take all the water that is locked up inside the moon,
and put it in a homogenous layer on the lunar surface, it would cover
the moon to about a meter depth," he explained.

In comparison, if all the water that is locked up in Mars was put on the
lunar surface, it would cover the moon to a depth of about 0.93 miles
(1.5 km). And, if the same is done for all of the water inside the
Earth, it would cover the entire lunar surface to a depth of 155 miles
(250 km). "

Does anyone really give a **** about how much water you
can take to the Moon except you?
If the Moon were made of green cheese we could eat it,
but it isn't so we can't. If, if, if, if, if...

if the moon was made of Space Cheese, not Green Cheese, it could have even
more water than projected.
what if the moon were covered in moon rocks, but the core was creamy space
cheese center ?

Why of course fused basalt holds water, and so what?

Are you crazy folks now suggesting there's 1e11 tonnes of frozen water
on the moon and humanly accessible?

Inside of that physically dark and apparently monochromatic sucker,
almost anything goes as being possible. However, the more than
crystal dry and vacuum surrounded surface is not hardly molecular
water friendly.

Below ~3200 K oxygen in space is bound to hydrogen as water.
Thus, oxygen in lunar rocks is derived from water and not from
molecular oxygen. Every molecule of lunar crust contains
at least 4 atoms of oxygen, that is 4 molecules of water
were destroyed in the making of a molecule of crust.
How much water was consumed in the making of 50-60 km
of lunar crust. Perhaps Europa can serve as a guide with an
ocean 160 km deep. All planets were probably endowed
with the same budgets of water and only planets below
sublimation temperatures were able to preserve their
pre-Archaean oceans. John Curtis

Okay, check, you're only interested in cheese-based research about the
Moon. We'll be sure to post up those results when they become available.
