Water
What if, we could drink water for a longer life?
By: William Atkins
The question of drinking water for a longer and healthier life has been suggested in the scientific community for many years. However, it's not regular water they are talking about, but heavy water (deuterated water) that’s the key to this research into a possible 'fountain of youth.'

Huge buried glaciers of water ice found on Mars
By: William Atkins
NASA announced that its Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has found what is being called "vast Martian glaciers of water ice under protective blankets of rocky debris." NASA scientists call it the largest amount of water ice on Mars other than at the poles.

2nd AP report: Even more Americans have drugs in drinking water
By: William Atkins
An Associated Press report in March 2008 showed 41 million Americans have pharmaceuticals in their drinking water. An updated September 2008 AP report shows that number is now at least 46 million—and will likely increase in the future!

Evidence of ancient lakes, rivers found in clay Martian soil
By: William Atkins
The NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has provided new data to scientists that show a host of “wet environments” existed billions of years ago on Mars. Scientists describe the amount of ancient Martian water as “pervasive and long-lasting.”

FIRST: Water found on Moon
By: William Atkins
A U.S.-French team used new methods to analyze 40-year-old Apollo lunar samples that had previously shown no evidence of water. However, using more advanced instruments, the research team was able to detect very small amounts of water in the samples. The momentous announcement heralds the first time water has been discovered in materials from the Moon.

LCROSS passes final test before trip to Moon
By: William Atkins
The U.S. space agency NASA announced that its Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, nicknamed LCROSS, passed a thermal vacuum test in June 2008, which now gives it the go-ahead to investigate whether the Moon has water ice in a permanently shadowed lunar crater.

NASA scientists convinced Mars has ice!
By: William Atkins
The Phoenix Mars Lander photographed tiny pieces of bright, white material inside a dug out trench, and four days later they disappeared. Scientists say salt can’t evaporate but ice can when exposed to Martian atmosphere, making for great evidence for finding water on Mars.
