Water on the moon

After a long hiatus blogging is back. This might be a short one, due to the lack of time available. Recently what caught my fancy was a news article concerning a press release from NASA saying that there has been water found on the moon. Another big step for mankind ? Perhaps , perhaps not! However this post will not be scientific, as i am yet sketchy about the details of the impact of the discovery.
A huge hue and cry has started to erupt, similar to the production of black holes when CERN started their first beams in LHC. (Till today i have to explain to some of the masses that production of a black hole is not as easy as you think ! My fault , as the only example an accelerator physicist can give about his work is the huge extravaganza at CERN).
However when i first heard the news , the name of Georges Remi came to my mind. Years ago a man named Jules Verne wrote about things flying in air and submarines under water. Came true !
Similarly not so long ago Georges Remi (okk Herge for most of you) landed Tintin on the moon and made him discover water on the moon. Being a hardcore Tintin buff , i almost expected this to be true ! Hence no surprises for me.
Wonder which fiction next would turn to fact! but please not a Dan Brown one!
