December 20th, evening.
The Office of Lunar Exploration of the Aerospace Development Committee once again released news to the public, preliminarily confirming that a large-scale ice deposit band was found beneath the Krum Impact Crater.
Even though the details were still unclear and only a few blurry images were available, it had indeed proven that there was a considerable amount of ice under the crater, which was more than enough for the early stages of exploration.
This revelation had a huge impact on the international aerospace community, the most significant of which was the greatly increased interest of various countries in the Moon.
The presence of water implies that organic compounds can be synthesized, which means that it might be possible to maintain a lunar surface outpost autonomously, greatly reducing the pressure on Earthly resources.
