Scientific paper

The importance of H2O on the lunar surface has long been identified as a high priority for the existence of a human colony for mining activities and, more recently, for space fuel. Using the Earth as an analog, volcanic activity would suggest the generation of water during lunar history. Evidence of volcanism is found not only in present lunar morphology, but in over 400 locations of lunar transient events cataloged by Middlehurst and Kuiper in the 1960's. These events consisted of sightings since early history of vapor emissions and bright spots or flares. Later infrared scanning by Saari and Shorthill showed 'hot spots', many of which coincided with transient event sites. Many of the locations of Middlehurst and Kuiper were the sites of repeat events, leading to the conclusion that these were possibly volcanic in nature. The detection and use of H2O from the lunar surface is discussed.
