SMART-1 will search for signs of water-ice in craters near the Moon's poles...Wasn't this done last year with negative results (no water-ice found)?

I would LOVE to see the US use this as an SDI testing opportunity by shooting it down. Then proceed to thank Europe for helping us send a message to North Korea.

If there were a highway, you could comfortably drive to the Moon in 16 months -- And spend every night at a Motel 6!

16 months to the moon, man, this isn't the most powerful propulsion system. I guess ion drive is still useful in reducing the tonnage of such a probe.

16 months to the moon. Hmmmm, about as long as it takes my dial-up to send an e-mail.
