No ice on the Moon crater!

The plan to use water found on the Moon to build a new ' settlements ' for extraterrestrial humans by scientists had to be temporarily put off after high-resolution photos recently showed There is no evidence of the existence of ice at the southernmost crater of the Moon.

However, with the new findings from these photographs, ' any landfall or a base plan on the Moon should not be taken into account now ,' said Donald Campbell, a professor of astronomy at the University. Cornell said.

Will the plan to build a base on the Moon go bankrupt? According to Campbell, 'there is still the possibility that sediments exist in certain dark locations that the systems in Earth cannot detect .'

In 2008, NASA's Moon probe will bring two self-propelled vehicles to the Moon in search of ice in the southernmost region.
