Saying it’s “crushed ice” makes these scientists sound like bartenders.

Yes, It is literally “crushed ice,” the same way playing video games is just electrons moving around. Using reductionist language detracts from the true meaning.

It’s solid ice with liquid structure. That’s a big deal. This is extremely rare on Earth, so being able to create & study it in a lab can give us more insight into how matter works off planet.

Not only water, but other transformations of matter in the universe. It’s another step toward understanding the cosmos and y’all are thinking they want funding for Mojitos. Idiocracy continues.
