I agree the quest to explore the Moon, Mars, the rest of the Solar System to the other galaxies is one that generates much human curiosity and endeavor. I can appreciate your teams excitement at the results of your CHACE experiment, in themselves a great achievement.

The question of primacy, who discovered something first, is also not always the most important one regarding scientific achievement. As Isaac Newton said in a letter (February 5, 1675) to Robert Hooke, “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Finding the water on the Moon was an achievement that stood on the shoulders of many. At the same time every scientist hopes that at some stage during their careers that they too can ‘jump around like a small kid’ with the joy that they have found something that no one else in the world has ever seen!

I wonder what Chandrayaan-2 will discover?

The same urge to know more intrigued every human including a developing country like India. We were some 3-4 hand picked enthusiasts (with ZERO experience in space borne instrumentation) to work on the development of the state-of-the-art instrument to sample the lunar ambiance during the descent of Moon Impact Probe. The feeling of seeing the end product to on the MOON was so compelling that we always used to walk (run) one extra mile to make it to the goal.
When we saw signatures of WATER (the first among the human race to do so); our team’s senior scientist in his 59th year was jumping like a small kid. Today, I know, why he was doing it. As I write this note here; I know that the credit of finding water on the Moon is not in our kitty; but when ever I look at the Moon deep in my heart what I feel is “in the court of LORD, it was my team which had seen Peak#18 Literally pouring out of the instrument”.
