Moon could hold enough water for moonbase and rocket fuel, boffins believe
Moon could hold enough water under its surface to meet the needs of a moonbase and to use for rocket fuel.Scientists believe gases from ancient volcanic eruptions could have left ice hundreds of feet thick buried on the moon.Researchers in the US believe two fifths of the water vapour spewed out of volcanoes erupting two to four billion years ago may have settled in craters where no sunlight can reach.During that time, thousands of square miles of the moon’s surface was covered in huge rivers and lakes of lava which have created the dark blotches, or maria, which make satellite so distinctive today.Andrew Wilcoski, graduate physicist from CU Boulder, said: “We envision it as a frost on the moon that built up over time.”Co-author Paul Hayne, assistant professor in astrophysics at CU Boulder, said those stores would be a bounty for future explorers who will need water to drink and process into rocket fuel.He added: “It’s possible that five or 10 metres below the surface you have big sheets of ice.”The study adds to evidence that the moon may hold more water than many scientists have previously believed.In a 2020 study, Hayne and his colleagues estimated that nearly 6,000 square miles of the lunar surface may be capable of trapping and holding onto ice, mostly near the north and south poles.However where that water came from is still unclear.Hayne said: “There are a lot of potential sources at the moment.”A lot of ice will be concentrated around the poles and may be buried under several feet of lunar dust, or regolith.One more reason, Hayne said, for people or robots to go back and start digging.He added: “We really need to drill down and look for it.”For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the

MP's son blows up Russian tank with rocket and screams 'we're gonna die' during ambush
Russian soldiers in Ukraine – including him firing a rocket launcher into a tank and rescuing an injured comrade. Heroic Ben Grant rushed to the eastern European country to take up arms against evil Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion.The 30-year-old Brit, whose mum is an MP for Maidstone, could be seen in a group of well-trained fighters as they fired deadly launchers at the Russian military vehicle.Terrifying videos showed the troops in a 15-hour mission that reportedly killed 38 enemy soldiers.Rockets triggered the tank’s live ammunition before it exploded in another blow to the Kremlin’s army in Ukraine.In another clip fearless Ben, who served for over five years in the Royal Marines before leaving for Ukraine, could be heard shouting at his team: "We've got to move now or we're gonna die!"The dad-of-three is seen ducking Russian bullets whilst treating fellow fighter and former Grenadier Guardsman Dean Arthur, who was raced to hospital in Kyiv where doctors medics saved his leg.Bold Ben told The Telegraph his unit was ambushed whilst getting ready to hit another target.He explained: "I think we must have been spotted by drones beforehand and they had set up their lines… so as we went in the mass firefight broke out…"I was terrified but driven to complete my most important goal, which at the time was getting him and my team out of the danger."What was so scary was being so limited by trying to carry someone, when I can't pull my weapon up, while there are attack helicopters overhead and tanks firing through the woods.

Johnny Depp's career will 'sky rocket' while Amber Heard will struggle – expert
Johnny Depp could become flooded with work offers after his defamation case against Amber Heard is settled, a leading PR expert has claimed.The actor is currently suing Heard, 35, after she wrote an opinion piece in 2018, detailing her experiences with domestic abuse.The article in question, initially published by the Washington Post does not name Mr Depp but legal representatives for Heard say it is protected by freedom of speech.Lawyers for Depp say it "falsely implies" that she was a victim of abuse during their marriage.Johnny, 58, has denied all allegations made by Heard.Now, leading PR executive Vanessa Munnings has claimed the Pirates of the Caribbean actor could be inundated with job opportunities now.Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, the founder of Leopard Print PR said: "Win or lose, Depp's career has been in free fall and it appeared nothing was going to change that."But spend any amount of time on social media and you'll see public opinion stacked largely against his former wife, with the actor stifling laughter in court and Heard being named as an alleged homewrecker in what has become the goldfish bowl of their lives"A carefully considered strategy by one side or justice being done?"She went on to add: "Regardless of what either party has or hasn't done, stranger things have happened than a member of Hollywood glitterati surviving such a public circus and indeed legal allegations."You only have to Google to see how some megastars have overcome the stigma of court cases and go on to cash in super successful careers, with litigious backgrounds seemingly rubbed out."Sharing her expert opinion, Vanessa continued: "My thoughts are that Depp's career will potentially skyrocket once again once criminal

Dramatic video shows NASA's mega moon rocket struck by lightning four times
NASA’s new Moon rocket four times yesterday as it was being fuelled up ahead of a test flight.Artemis 1, an uncrewed trial flight intended to test NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft is currently scheduled to launch in late May or early June.If all goes well, the system will be used to take NASA’s first human crew to the Moon since the early 1970s.Artemis II, scheduled for May 2024, will see the first astronaut crew fly around the Moon in Orion.But a “wet dress rehearsal”, where the 322-ft-tall rocket was fuelled with 700,000 gallons of super-cold liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen propellant was halted after after two fans used to keep dangerous gasses from mixing on the launchpad failed to operate as planned.There was added drama when lightning struck the launch tower not once but four times.At the time of the lightning strikes on Saturday, the rocket's core stage and its Orion spacecraft were powered up, but the solid rocket boosters and an interim cryogenic propulsion stage were off, according to a NASA update.NASA released a statement following the incident, saying: "Engineers confirmed there were four lightning strikes to the lightning towers within the perimeter of Launch Pad 39B."Teams have determined the first three were low intensity strikes to tower two and are continuing to review data from the fourth strike, which was higher in intensity to tower one”.The incident was a chance to test the efficiency of a new lighting conductor system that had recently been installed.
