Future civilizations on the Moon might be hydrated by water trapped in microscopic glass beads

China’s Chang’e 5 rover discovered microscopic glass beads carrying water in a lunar impact crater. Beads with water concentrations as high as 2,000 parts per million were discovered in samples obtained from a 2020 mission (PPM). Considering the abundance of these glass spheres on the lunar surface, there might be enough water to provide 71 trillion gallons.
