Bombing the Moon pays off?

There is water on the Moon, scientists stated unequivocally on Friday, and considerable amounts of it.

“Indeed yes, we found water,”

:roflmao:

“We got more than just whiff, We practically tasted it with the impact.”

Mmm lunar dust.

My favourite bit has to be:

The Lcross mission consisted of two pieces — an empty rocket stage to carve into the lunar surface and a small spacecraft to measure what was kicked up, but it too slammed into the surface.

Nice to see they still haven't worked out how to land properly ????

Lol

I thought this was awesome news.

This will, in my opinion, push the Obama administration towards approving a moon expedition. With large sums of water at stake, we could begin mining asteroids! You know how rich that would make the US if we could pull it off?

Oh yes it was a large sum, 100 kg.

NASA has decided it's ready to talk about some of the data obtained when its LCROSS mission slammed two objects into the Moon: the ejected material contained 100kg of water, which created unambiguous signals in the probe's spectroscopy equipment. Ars Technica

The article is an interesting read.

I'm holding out hope that that was just the little bit kicked up, and that there is much more than that down there, and in other craters.

Lunar Tap Water anyone?

I wonder how water on the moon (after it has been filtered) would taste...

Remember that most filtered water still have a couple of minerals behind...so Moon Water

Im sorry I only drink Martian

I won't look for bottled moon water any time soon!

Ach!! my 500th post!!

It would be funny if it ended up as like $10 dollars a bottle and it turned out to be no different than water here on Earth

Would Moon Water be like Banana Peels in the late sixties and early seventies.

Lee you have to excuse us much younger folk (not trying to make something of your age) but we have no clue what you are implying

 

[Airbot]

I do....and yes Lee, it would give you a headache.

Yeah, it never worked for me. :huh:

Hence, just a headache.
