Too all who said bombing the Moon was a waste of time....

Should we build a ladder to the moon to fetch fresh water? Just an idea...

 

[sgtshock]

Woah, if they found water buried in the barren moon, who knows where else it could be? Hell, even Mars has some water visible on the surface (granted, it's ice, and it's at the north and south poles, but still).

Maybe some form of alien life isn't that far away after all.

Yeah! Let's spend billions of dollars on a space program instead of paying back our debts or stimulating the economy! The common taxpayer sure isn't as important as finding water on Luna!

If their are Selenites and Mooncalfs their I'm going to freak out!

You are aware mars is too close to the sun to have sustainable water reserves right?

You need to have some better learnins. Because someone already filled you in on the planetary order i'll add this: Proximity to the sun has little to do with water content, gravity and atmosphere are much larger factors. so yeah.

Ah right yeh that makes sense, as I replied to the other guy, i just stupidly didnt think about my post, and got mars confused with mercury.

But now assuming it was mercury, surely the temperature would still be a huge factor for having water reserves, because aslong as the temperature is above 100 degrees, as im sure it is, then the water would either just evaporate.
Unless it was trapped in a pocket inside the planet, but then the gravity factor would prevent that.

Anyway, i guess thats besides the point as it isnt mercury. I was wrong, you were all right, now to go stare at an image of our solar system for hours upon hours.

Well, you're right, it would evaporate, but then it'd just be water in the air. Water doesn't disappear until it electrilizes.

Water on the moon means my Schiedsrichter des Reiches will work

 

[Carlston]

Not really sure who you consider being against it?

The enviromental wackkos couldn't give a good reason to not do it, since there are no spotted horned Moon owls to worry bout.

Was a great idea.

I hate it when people want immediate, dramatic, or purely practical results from sciecne experiments, and otherwise spend all their time bitching and moaning "We could've cured cancer! blahblahblah"

I think this is terrific.

Wait, why do we want to live on the Moon again? Have you seen the craters on that thing? That means lots of meteors have hit it. That means if we colonize it, lots of meteors will be falling on our colonies. I personally don't enjoy having giant rocks fall and smash into my skull...

 

[Danpascooch]

Still a waste of time

OMG TWENTY FIVE GALLONS OF WATER!!!

Now we can spend trillions building a motherf---ing moon base while poverty stricken families across the world starve

Despite the "LCROSS failed" sayers, I think that perhaps, through sheer power of quoting Douglas Adams, LCROSS may have succeeded.
For this quote, the universe performed an infinite improbability, in which it made water on the moon the petunias to LCROSS' Sperm Whale.

Way to go, NASA.

I do hope we can mine the hell out of the moon, then blow it up and fight in zero gravity amongst the shards of cheese(like that cool-looking new game on Steam, forgot the name).

Shattered Horizon. Great game. You should play it.
