The Clavius Crater on the Moon as seen by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The SOFIA observatory has detected water ice in shadowed regions of this sunlit lunar location ((Image credit: NASA/Moon Trek/USGS/LRO)

The presence of ice in the permanently shadowed craters around the Moon's poles has been known for some time. However, researchers had been unsure if the hydration detected on the satellite's sunlit areas was "molecular" water (H2O), or hydroxyl (OH), a molecule that's one hydrogen atom shy of becoming water. On October 26, 2020, NASA confirmed that the liquid was indeed water.

      That's pretty amazing! If there were people that were to inhabit earth, there wouldn't be too much, because the moon is already less than a third of the width of our planet!

                  Considering it's molecules of water that are a little harder to notice and even if you did it would still be hard to get any type of thirst to go away, but is still possible just would take a while

                    Also, you would need something to breathe in space with or a tube to connect the water only NASA would create that sort of thing.

                    I wouldn't get your hopes up, but we might have too someday, but if we ever did it wouldn't be for a really long time
