Pretty interesting discovery by NASA, for all you science buffs out there: [http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20091113/ts\_afp/sciencespaceusmoon](http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20091113/ts_afp/sciencespaceusmoon) ---

So the experiment was a success. Definitely cool. ---

So $79 Million to find out: “In the 20 to 30 meter crater we found maybe about a dozen, at least, two-gallon buckets of water. This is an initial result,” Colaprete told reporters. Wow. Did not know we haven’t been back on the moon since 72. I thought we were. Guess I haven’t been paying attention as much. ---

So we have a place to send a few people to try and ensure the survival of the human race if/when we accidentally the planet. Becomes a lot more doable if they have water. ---

That is why they are being built in the mountains (high ground). Oh, and it is going to happen way before the ice caps melt away. ---

The big issue is IF we send people there, then having available water on-site is a BIG deal. Water weighs alot, and to lift if from Earth will cost $$$. “Mining” water from the moon saves that weight, plus solar-based electrolysis of water provides oxygen to breathe, and arguably, a new source of rocket fuel (Liquid H2/Liquid O2). ---

We don’t even know what’s in the water on our own planet. Why are we spending so much money seeing if water was on the moon? I think they should take some of this insane NASA budget and spend it figuring out what we actually live on first. Funding for NASA \>\>\>\>\>\>\>\> funding for exploring our oceans. ---
