I think they should use the moon only for a last resort just in case something bad ever does happen to the Earth.

Maybe so, but theres no way everyone could go. The moon's surface area is 37.9 million square kilometers while the Continent of Asia is 44.4 million square kilometers.

Guys, it's not like they found oceans of it :p

Not surprised, I heard about this on world news.
Now how about we get an atmosphere for the moon too?
10 Chinese hummers should do the trick if we only drive them for 5 Earth days.

I do believe that the Moon's gravity is insufficient to support a breathable atmosphere, but it may be enough to support plants. What kind of atmospheric pressure do you think we could achieve?

I think there might be very small life forms since they have water on the moon. It is likely since the earth started out like that.

Legobricks November 14th, 2009 11:43 PM

I'm reminded of the X3TC description for the ice ware...
"Water in the form of ice is harvested from asteroids [some tosh I don't specifically recall about supply of planetary colonies and Earth water retrictions imposed by the ATF]."

Water is really quite a basic compound, so I actually expected it to be on the Moon as well as many other places.

This is amazing. It makes me sad that I will never be able to see any significant change compared to what's happened today. Maybe centuries from now, organisms and life forms will be able to inhabit the Moon, but I'll never know about it.

However, I kind of don't think that should happen. The Moon isn't meant to be inhabited. I'm not too sure what this discovery of water will mean for the future of the Moon, but humans sure have effed some stuff up down here... hopefully they don't take the Moon too.

That's just one of the boundaries we're not willing to understand, even if it were true. It's in human nature to be skeptical, to question and to keep moving forward.
The Moon will be take up some day.

Sorry to tell you, but that is what we plan on doing, why else would we be searching for water?
For teh lulz?, nope.

Hey, we already planted our flag up there. It's just a matter of time until we formally move in.

Manifest Destiny FTW!!! <=P

Rich Boy Rob November 15th, 2009 1:20 AM

I think it's quite cool that they found water. It means that we're 1 step closer to off world colonisation, and that's got to be a good thing right? I mean one day, either some great catastrophe will happen on Earth, so the people living off world may have to carry on the human race, or the more likely option, Earth will get over crowded, so people should be given the option to leave. Besides anything else, expansion = greater chance of meeting discovering aliens.

I think us Yanks should dominate the world before we do that, because we're that awesome.

Never! Earth will soon be known as Greater Britain and once we start expanding of world we will call our collection of colonies The New Great British Empire!
Because Britain is win.

Been there, done that, didn't last.

Seriously though, every piece of information we gain about the universe helps us understand it better. We can form better theories about other big space rocks we haven't studied as thoroughly. It helps keep us from assuming too many things we don't really know that much about.

We've made discoveries greater than this. And besides, life on the moon isn't going to happen. It's a quarter of the Earth's size, so unless half of us die on the way there, we're not going to fit. Like everyone else stated, if we're going anywhere, and unless we find somewhere much like Earth, it's going to be Mars.

Too much money is going into space travel, in my opinion. We should at least share it around evenly.

Back to the topic, I believe that we can now finally begin to take our first steps to conquering the Galaxyinterplanetary exploration. Once a base has been established on the moon, we can use the moons lower gravity to launch rockets to mars with less fuel required for take-off.

The Moon Rocks!(pun intended)

If that's the case, we could send explorers from the Moon to the Mars to colonize there.
Believe me, Mars is way better than the moon(and they have found water on Mars too).

I think that was the general idea. There isn't sufficient gravity on the moon for it to sustain a dense enough breathable atmosphere. We might however, be able to artificially create an atmosphere on mars by using the greenhouse effect. Although, i wonder how the pioneers would cope with the dust storms...

Well the point behind making the moon habitable is the transit time between it and the Earth in comparison to Mars or anywhere else.

Syrex November 16th, 2009 8:45 PM

Alrighttt!!!

now make a big air dome and I'm ready to move. haha.

If I remember correctly, the Moon's land is split up and owned by a bunch of celebrities and other rich people. :O

Fire Eagle November 20th, 2009 9:34 AM

I would say that if something does go wrong in the year 2012, the will and the strong survived should life on the moon.

MidnightMoon November 20th, 2009 9:50 AM

I think it would be pointless haveing a base on the moon because what in gods name are they going to do up their besides seeing how far they could jump. I think it would be a waste of money. But I would like to live up their.

I've explained this before so I'll explain it again.

We could use the moon's lower gravity to launch rockets to other planets without wasting to much fuel in escaping the gravitational pull of the moon. That means, we can travel further on more fuel. Also, some scientists believe that the abundant Helium 3 present on the moon can be used to fuel the rockets as an alternative.

Yes, it would be nice to live there.

Up whose what exactly?

I lol'ed. XD
No offense.
