LCROSS For Your Kindle: There’s Water on the Moon!
by Will DeLamater
The remarkable finding that there is a LOT more water on the moon than previously thought makes for an excellent story in the annals of modern space science.

I admit it, I cried like a baby. But I wiped away the tears and got the transcript to share with you, formatted for the Kindle. As simple as the process is, it still took over an hour to get it done. If you are like me, you heard a bunch of stuff in the…
An Odd Path to Thursday on the Kindle
