NASA To Bomb The Moon.

They found water on the moon

Quote:

“Indeed yes, we found water,” Anthony Colaprete, the principal investigator for NASA’s Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, said in a news conference. “And we didn’t find just a little bit. We found a significant amount.”

The confirmation of scientists’ suspicions is welcome news to explorers who might set up home on the lunar surface and to scientists who hope that the water, in the form of ice accumulated over billions of years, holds a record of the solar system’s history.

The satellite, known as Lcross (pronounced L-cross), crashed into a crater near the Moon’s south pole a month ago. The 5,600-miles-per-hour impact carved out a hole 60 to 100 feet wide and kicked up at least 26 gallons of water.

Not sure if this is old news for people, but I just heard about it it this morning. Mission success.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I read it this morning on Current too. In before water bottling companies make bids to buy rights to MoonWater™.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm not sure why everyone is surprised. Mars has water on it, wouldn't our closest celestial neighbor as well? It just makes sense.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Probably because scientific progress doesn't work on the basis of things "just making sense". Quite the opposite in most cases.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I would imagine it also depends on which theory of the moon's formation you buy into as well, as well as theories as to what brought that significant amount of water to earth in the first place.

FELIPE NO

I'm questioning the veracity of the surprise, not the scientific method, you bubble-headed booby!

Most amazing jew boots

I think the surprise might be in them saying a "significant amount."

Jam it back in, in the dark.
