This is pretty cool. Way to go little moon! I don't see any of the big moon players like Jupiter's moons doing anything cool like this.A NASA spacecraft that was deliberately crashed onto the moon shows water exists in a permanently shadowed crater, the U.S. space agency said Friday, further evidence that the Earth’s closest neighbour has significant quantities of water.
The finding from the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, mission opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon, said a NASA news release. If the water that was formed or deposited is billions of years old, the cold traps — located at the moon’s poles — could hold a key to the evolution of the solar system, NASA said.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
Dig your own grave, and save!

Moses figured this one out a long time ago, why can't the scientists just read the Bible and stop wasting our time and tax dollars?Originally posted by falafel View PostThis is what:

Are we going to use the water to water the plants on the farm planted in the fertile moon soil?Originally posted by beefytee View PostIt makes colonization easier. We won't have to take it up there.
Sometimes I think the moon is a curse. Without it we would save a lot of tax dollars. However, I guess it gave us great flicks such as Space Camp and Howard the Duck."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

It would be great to be in the plumbing supply business if water had to be delivered to the moon.Originally posted by beefytee View PostIt makes colonization easier.

That's not really why they're looking for it. They want to find water on the moon so they can use it as a fuel & oxygen source for a colony and for deep space missions (to Mars and beyond) in the future.Originally posted by Commando View PostSo that's the biggest implication yet that there could be, or once was, life on that moon.
That's what.
They thought it should be there. The explosion thing they did a few weeks back was supposed to find out for sure. I guess we found out today that it's there...
