Just to see if there is water? what,and then build a water purification plant up there for future missions? BAH!




If water in sufficient quantity is found, it could provide a source of oxygen for breathing and hydrogen for fuel. That would allow construction of a self supporting lunar base, which could then be a launch site for further solar system exploration.
