The discovery of water in the moon was great indeed.. Now, each and every day, am hearing more and more exciting info about that. In today's paper, I read the way in which water is being formed in the moon. According to the current speculation, moon's surface acts as a sponge and absorbs hydrogen ions from the sun. Then, inside the surface, it combines it with oxygen to produce hydroxyl ions, and then, water. Seems very interesting.. doesn't it?
This discovery is really huge. Especially, when earth is facing a scarcity of water. Let's hope that scientists will bring about ways of exploring moon water. Now, suppose that we did achieve that. Won't that water be more expensive? Definitely, it will be. So, will the poor be able to afford it? Or will only the upper class with enough dough with them be able to enjoy moon water?
Ensuring the supply of water for the poor is going to be a huge issue, anyway. Even if we explore moon water or not. In some of the poor African countries, water supply is controlled by private agencies and the poor people are having a hard time. They are forced to spend a large portion of their income for buying water only.
