China’s Chang’e 5 lunar lander finds water on the moon, but not as much as they hoped

The discovery comes from the first-ever water survey conducted on the surface of the moon and is an important step in China’s ambitions to build a moon base by 2027. But while Chinese scientists discovered water, they found far less of it than initially predicted – a minuscule 30 grams per tonne of soil.
