NASA Confirms Water On The Moon |
Lead | |
|
A NASA rocket was intentionally fired into the permanently shadowed crater Cabeus on the Moon's southern polar region last month. The crashing of the
rocket revealed the existence of water on the Moon and being the MASSIVE geek that I am, I'm very excited by this news. Sure, it's not
as exciting as possible confirmation of life on Mars - but who cares?

It took 'em a whole month after crashing the satellites to confirm the existence of water? I know they have to check, re-check, double and triple check so
that they don't jump the gun and announce something until they were sure... but a whole month?
Oh well. The real question is... will this discovery be enough to jump start the return trip to the moon NASA's been talking about for years? With the nation's economy the way it is, I wonder if such a project would even be bankrolled. |

^ China will probably get to the Moon before the US gets the chance to make a return trip there. China's not in anywhere NEAR as much debt
as the US, plus they've got a kickass space program goin' on.

Yeah, this is pretty cool especially seeing as how astronomy is my favorite scientific subject. Hm, I wonder if we will find any Moon Men now, lol?

Yea...I hope this does give them the support they need to go back to the moon. It was proposed that it was going to be dropped and a planned trip to an
asteroid nearer Mars was suggested. Considering they're planning lunar bases and whatnot...I say returning to the moon is most definitely a definitive
plan.

At the risk of making a comment that's completely irrelevant here, I just saw the Doctor Who episode 'The Waters of Mars' before noticing this
thread. And whilst I do find the discovery of water on the moon fascinating, if its anything like 'The Waters of Mars' then be afraid of the water...

Don't drink the water. Don't even touch it. Not. One. Drop.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who made the connection (although I knew the moon story watching the episode). I was trying not to smirk every time the
script mentioned NASA.

Sorry to disappoint some of you, but even though there's apparently water on the moon, there's still not gonna be any life, even on the microscopic
level, because the moon doesn't have the atmosphere to support even one-celled organisms.
But this is still pretty cool :) I love astronomy. ~Shadowed Spirit Sage |

Rishi. Your love for hupplajuju wickeywackey whatchamabuh?! is all well and good. I'm happy you think of stingrays in the atmosphere and water spirits in
the chimney and I'mma let you finish, but life by it's definition requires certain things to sustain itself. You know this, and you have the freedom to
believe what you wish, as do all hupplajuju wickeywackeyoligists--- but guess what?
YOU ARE WRONG! ^_______________^ just thought I'd let you know. |

Well, as someone who believes in an omnipotent Creator with whom nothing is impossible, I find it completely in the realm of possibilities for God to create
life that would go against our understanding of life as we know it, including putting life on the moon, a star, in the vacuum of space, etc. though I don't
think he did but shrug.

It'd take a pretty lazy god to make billions of stars and planets and yet only put something resembling life on one of them...!
