Space Oases
We are watery creatures inhabiting a water world—a space oasis speeding between the orbits of Venus and Mars. Without water we cannot survive, let alone explore interplanetary space.
Water is plentiful on Earth, but space voyagers must bring water with them. A rocket's weight greatly affects its cost and how far it can travel, so finding water within the Solar System could greatly reduce the cost and difficulty of interplanetary exploration.
This program traces water across the whole Solar System, from deep lunar craters, to the scorching heat of the Venusian atmosphere, to Martian deserts, and the giant planets' frozen satellites. Come along to discover continent-sized ice floes; vast, hidden oceans; and the icy showers of cryovolcanoes.
