Scientists made the discovery using data gathered by NASA’s now-retired SOFIA airborne observatory.

    Surprisingly, yes. They made a bid with NASA for $5 to have a representative of Nestle on any manned mission to asteroids for the purpose of collecting water samples to extract up to 90% of any sample going forward, to use as drinking water that will be sold to consumers for a record breaking $5,999,999,999.95 per bottle of space water.

    At first NASA declined, because they projected that most, if not all of the future asteroid related missions would be unmanned, they ultimately settled on a $4 dollar contract to harvest 95% of manned missions that collect water of any origin in the cosmos and an astounding 98% of water collected from unmanned missions to asteroids, with NASA also footing the bill for any processing/testing related to ensuring the water handed over to Nestle is drinkable.

      I’m just waiting to hear about the clause where we fire the Nestle board into the sun.
