How soon can humans settle on the Moon? From reports, it appears feasible only after at least another century – unless human beings are created in special labs on the Moon itself so that the newborns would get acclimatized from day-one to the situation prevalent there. Robots would be very much on the cards as would be options of frozen eggs, sperms and in-vitro fertilization. However, after the initial euphoria of discovering traces of water on the Moon has died down, claims have now been made by ISRO that credit for the finding should actually go to the Moon Impact Probe (MIP) before the Moon Mineralogy Mapper M3 probe of NASA. MIP discovered it on 14th November 2008, the day Chandrayaan crash landed on the Moon’s surface, while the M3 did it in March 2009. Disclosure had been kept in abeyance because such a finding needed corraborative evidence from another source. NASA took three months of extensive research to confirm that ISRO did indeed discover water.

Yes, there is water on the Moon
