NASA intensifies search for water
NASA is readying to sent rockets that would crash into the surface of the Moon – date is today, time 5pm IST. The purpose is to search for water. Once traces had been discovered by Chandrayaan, the focus now shifts on how much is available and what sort of water. The NASA spacecraft known as Centaur weighing around 2300 kilograms would travel at a speed of 8000 kmph and throw up nearly 350 tonnes of lunar debris once it crashes. The crater would be around 15 feet deep and 7 meters wide. On the heels of the first spacecraft would be a second one called Shepherding which would crash near the previous one – this would throw up another 150 tonnes of debris. Let us keep our fingers crossed and hope the findings justify the euphoria.
Moon will now come to the Earth
