Next TapIt Location - The Moon!

The New York Times reported today that data from three spacecraft indicate widespread presence of water (or hydroxyl) on the Moon.

Scientists had long thought the Moon to be completely dry. But new data shows that there may be water near the Moon's poles in permanently shadowed craters.

If water is present on the Moon, it could make settlement easier, particularly if the water could be extracted by simply heating the soil. Oxygen would also be a key component - always good for humans - and hydrogen and oxygen can be used to make rocket fuel for power generation. I wonder what the name of the first TapIt partner cafe will be, I'm going for Moonstruck Diner!
