Reliable sources report that there will be a press conference at NASA HQ at 2:00 pm this Thursday featuring lunar scientist Carle Pieters from Brown University.

The topic of the press briefing will be a paper that will appear in this week's issue of Science magazine wherein results from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) aboard Chandrayaan-1 will be revealed.

The take home message: there is a lot of water on the Moon.

Stay tuned.

No— Just worthless rock but how much of your grandkids money do you want to spend on that mine? I can get all the silicon you want down at my beach house.

It means that fuel for space ships and oxygen can be manufactured on site.

“There is no water on the moon” So you’ve been there? “Water is composed of H2O (oxygen). There aint no oxygen on that rock.

Fortunately you’re wrong, apparently you’re also not a chemist.

There is no water on the moon period.

Whoa...beer...

I'm thinking massive underground hydroponic barley fields and hops grown by filtered sunlight. We'd have to import the yeast from the Big Rock but it'd be cold enough on the dark side to freeze a decent library.

Beer farts in a space suit. That one we'd have to work on.

All the more reason for obama not wanting us to go back to the moon.

‘There is no water on the moon period.”

There’s Hydrogen and there’s Oxygen. Put them together and you got H2O

Thank you. If we don’t start critical thinking pretty soon we will truly be “sheeple”.
