India's Chandrayaan-I discovers millions of tons of water on the moon.
Scientists have detected more than 40 ice-filled craters in the moon's North Pole using data from a radar that flew aboard India's Chandrayaan-I. The vast source of water could one day be used to generate oxygen or sustain a moon base.
IMO: A lot of the money spent on space travel could have been used instead to improve Indian lifestyles here on earth, such as improving Indian Railways. At the same time, there is a delicate balance to observe in this hi-tech age and this important new discovery could certainly illustrate that fact. Overall, India probably has to be prepared to take a considered long term view, as indeed it often does.
