There is an opportunity here. Lunar Crater could merge with Moon Creek and create Munar Creek Water Company. Great name!

He was also a pedophile

So, according to the article, it might be expedient to build a lunar base at Clavius. And from there, one could easily take a moon bus to that magnetic anomaly at Tycho.

I’m not sure how they get from “what may well be” and “might be” to “Now we know it is there”.

I hate when I get water in my clavius crater.

The odd part... This constant search for water on other planets. Other than water that has been peed out by astronauts in outer space, all the water that was on earth from the very beginning is still here.

Water doesn’t disappear. It turns into ice, but when the ice melts... What you have is water. It evaporates into the air, but then it turns back into water and falls back to earth as rain. We really do not need any more water. We have enough on earth to satisfy humanity until the end of humanity.

That’s why I find this need to find water so interesting... I guess the idea is that we can live on Mars or the Moon because there is water there. The question is... Once you have found heaven... Which happens to be on earth if you’re living in the right place... Why would you go anywhere else?

R.A.Heinlein (1907-88) also posited water on (within) the Moon in his 1966 Novel, “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” (Hugo Award 1967). Exiled convict settlers mine veins of water-ice for both human and agriculture. Agriculture is the source of necessary food for an overpopulated Earth under UN World Government. Good lesson in being at the top of a gravity well!

One of Heinlein’s best.

... Arthur C. Clarke was a noted Sri Lankan science fiction author.

Arthur C Clarke (1917-2008) was a born Englishman of Minehead, Somerset, and started going to Ceylon (Colonial Name of Sri Lanka) in pursuit of avid SCUBA hobby and made it permanent in 1956. Other than his SF & science writing, he was RAF in WW2 and his 1945 proposal for permanent communication satellites in geostationary earth orbit (Clarke Orbit). Most famous of his works is "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) collaboration with Stanley Kubrick from his short story "The Sentinel" (1948).

We have been to the Moon. We have brought back some of the Moon and analyzed it. We found nothing, nada, zilch. Get over it.
