Exciting to see @NASA selecting @LunarOutpostInc, @mastenspace, @ispace_inc Japan, and @ispace_inc Europe to collect and transfer lunar regolith to NASA. While the $ may be low, the principle of NASA paying for space resources is huge. Best of luck to all!

You may have heard the news about finding water on the Moon. But how much is there? And can we actually do something with that water?

Going from material detection -> usable resource requires a detailed characterization and measurement program.

@nasa has a plan for that.

The Lunar Water ISRU Measurement Study is now online at https://t.co/xcxmXGIap6. Keep an eye out for the follow-on that should be out soon.
