Episode 33: PT 1 High School Fusion, Mars-Moon Water & Earth

The podcast discusses various scientific discoveries and news related to space, Earth, and alternative energy. Here are the main points:

Air Force refuses to clean contaminated water: The Air Force is refusing to clean up toxic chemicals near Tucson, Arizona, citing a recent Supreme Court decision. Experts say the decision doesn't apply and the Air Force is responsible for the clean-up.   


New caves found on the Moon: NASA confirmed finding large caves on the Moon, potentially formed by ancient lava flows. These caves could be useful for future lunar exploration.   


China finds evidence of water on the Moon: China's Chang'e 5 mission found new material that could be used for nuclear fusion, and also detected water molecules in lunar samples.   


Vast reservoir of water discovered on Mars: Analysis of seismic data suggests a massive ocean of liquid water may exist deep underground on Mars. This water could be leftover from a wetter period in Martian history.   


Texas experiencing increased earthquakes due to oil and gas production: The recent surge in earthquakes in Texas is linked to human activity related to oil and gas production. This raises concerns about safety and the need for stricter regulations.   


Sea ice losing cooling power: A study reveals that sea ice is reflecting less sunlight back into space due to rising temperatures, reducing its ability to cool the planet. This could significantly accelerate global warming.
