I'm not all that surprised. I mean, Hydrogen is a really common element, and Oxygen isn't terribly scarce, so H2O can form in a lot of places. There's water on Mars too. I mean, it's really cool news, but not a mind-numbing shocker.

People need to start saying water-ice. There is difference between liquid water and water-ice. D: There is also water vapor in the atmospheres of Venus and Jupiter and there is a liquid ocean under Jupiter's moon Europa, which has a high possibility of supporting life. O: But yeah, this is neat. Moon base? : 3 Not a colony though! The Moon's gravity is not strong enough to keep calcium and other nutrients in our body. So people who stay there long enough will either: 1. Become too weak to come back to Earth. 2. Die. : D Not to mention cancer, unless they put a foot of led into the walls/build the base underground. |
I would not move there because you would have to a space sute all the time.

I think it's great. I don't know what else to say than more water for us.

I'm waiting for them to drill a little deeper and discover that the Moon is actually hollow inside due to being an ancient alien spaceship. Yep. Any day now...

Is there anything that, in the mind of America, explosives won't solve? XD
I am so thrilled about this news, although the water was mainly extracted from the plume of stuff shot up by the boom. |

Don't you ever try to take that from us... Ever... |
Transporting water from the moon is waaaay too expensive as a solution to the water problem. Before we did that we would first use up all our hydrogen & oxygen to produce h2o.

But yeah, moon colonists would have a very hard time coming back to Earth. The gravity would flatten them. Maybe it could be used as...a penal colony? |
Unless they can give me undeniable proof that the Moon exists, I won't believe there is water on it.

This is certainly an interesting development. I wouldn't get your space suits on yet, but I can certainly imagine this being a huge step forward toward colonizing the moon. It's certainly possible that within one or two lifetimes, what we've previously only seen in sci-fi may become the stuff of reality.

Now, I know this is hard, but let's try and use some common sense to answer that. |

I would rather scientists focusing more on Europa then the Moon imo.

The amount of water found on the moon was actually negligable, i.e. molecules-worth. It's also frozen; liquid water can't exist there because there isn't enough pressure, so it's not as big of a deal as NASA is letting everyone believe.
I think NASA is hyping the whole water-on-the-moon thing because they want the government to think there is a sensible reason to give NASA a larger budget, and they have been looking for a reason for another moon-landing. As long as the economy is doing poorly and tax money is being spent on other things, NASA will have to get creative in its endeavor to seem deserving of funding. |

I thought it was confirmed before? Or was that Mars when they found a peice of ice in the dirt? Eithger way I wont be impressed until a Moon Fish is found d:
