## Caption

We asked a NASA scientist: Is there water on the Moon? Answer: Yes, but not as liquid H2O.⁣
⁣
Water on the Moon is mostly in the form of ice. Harvesting this water is a critical component of future human deep space exploration, which is why our golf cart-sized VIPER rover will travel to the Moon’s South Pole to search for ice and other potential resources and study where they came from.
