Not beer, but definitely signs of water have been found on Saturn’s moon. And it’s liquid which means (like it says in the article) the ingredients for life as we know it seem to be present.

We have the Cassini probe to thank for this awesome news as it has been journeying around Saturn doing awesome science and taking amazing pictures of the massive ringed planet and its moons.

If everything pans out who knows what amazing life and monstrous leviathans could lurk below Enceldaus’ icy surface.

I say it’s time for a Viking boat shaped rover to be launched to that moon’s surface for further exploration!

Even Google is getting in on the excitement. The LCROSS mission that lobbed a heavy missile into a crater in order to create a plume of ejecta that could be analyzed confirmed their theory that massive amounts of water could be contained in deep craters on the moon.

Why is this fantastic news? We need water to survive. It’s expensive to send water into space on shuttle launches (or any other space-bound object that takes propellant for that matter). With water available for use at our destination that means lots of other resources that can be packed up and launched with each mission.

This is a small  but valuable step in making a viable, permanent moon presence, as well as a launching point for the rest of the solar system. For those that dream of making it off this rock, it’s a huge leap in the right direction.
