Triple #oxygen isotopes of #lunar #water unveil indigenous and cometary heritage: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2321069121 -> "Our data support an indigenous primary water source for the Moon. This enstatite-dominant source may have been an initial reservoir from the Earth-Moon impact or a consequence of delivered materials in the early growth stages of the Moon. Cometary contributions are indicated by the extremely negative δ18O and positive Δ′17O values observed in our data" -> https://press.vub.ac.be/vub-study-reveals-origins-of-lunar-water-and-its-connection-to-earths-early-history

#NASA#Water 💧 Recovery System 📆 Jun 20, 2023 “Before the BPA, our total water recovery ♻️ was between 93 and 94% overall. We have now demonstrated that we can reach total water recovery of 98% 📈, thanks to the brine processor.” The team acknowledges that the idea of #drinking ☕ recycled #urine 🚽 might make some people squeamish. https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/news/water_recovery_milestone
