Russia, NASA Team Up In Quest For Space Water

The head of both Russia and America’s space agencies signed an agreement to cooperate as they search both the Moon an Mars in the quest for “liquid gold.”

(USA Today) The agreements signed by NASA Administrator Michael Griffin and Russian Space Agency chief Anatoly Perminov deal with putting Russian instruments on board NASA probes that would be sent to the moon and Mars.

“These two projects demonstrate the commitment by our countries to continue to look for opportunities where it’s mutually beneficial to cooperate,” Griffin said. “When these opportunities happen it’s our intent to work together to bring them to fruition.”

This partnership should help out both NASA and Russia, as it will lessen the cost of finding the best locations for a moon base, as any habitation near water is considered prime real estate.

This could also help relieve some of the space war rhetoric, as the last thing humanity needs is a cold war in space.
