This is a personal theory, explained in the article. Time will tell if I am right or wrong.

I don't know if argon deposits would be as useful as water, though.

Question: Is there any practical way to determine Ar isotopic ratios remotely? Nothing springs to mind.

Also re applications: Argon's a very good thermal insulator, so it might be useful for that application in future lunar construction.

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
