Glass beads full of water on the moon: what does the discovery mean for space exploration?

More than half a century after humans last walked on the moon,
researchers have made a discovery that makes lunar living an
increasing possibility. The moon’s surface is littered with tiny
glass beads containing water, which could be extracted and used by
visiting astronauts. Ian Sample speaks to Professor Mahesh Anand,
part of the team that made the discovery, about where these beads
come from and what they mean for future moon missions. Help support
