Over the last couple of years, scientists have been reporting the presence of water and ice on Mars, the moon, and in/on one of Saturn’s moons (Enceladus). One of the most recent articles in the New York Times, titled “Scientists See Fresh Evidence of More Water on the Moon,” (March 9, 2010) describes the presence of ice on several lunar locations. For the future lunar explorer, the presence of water on the moon is extremely significant. Water can be used for drinking, can be broken down to provide oxygen for breathing, and also for fuel made from hydrogen, as stated in the article.
The existence of water in other parts of the universe may well point to the existence of life beyond Earth. Since one of the prerequisites for known life is water, one of mankind’s next trips to outer space may well be followed by other living creatures. People have always been reporting the existence of extraterrestrial visiting the Earth. Perhaps these sightings are not at all illusionary visions as thought by many scientists, but true accounts.
