It's never a good thing to be on the moon needing a glass of water only to find out its warm water and you have no ice.

Ernest T. Bass

Those 10 foot tall lost 10 tribes need something to drink.

A MATTER OF TIME

OH GEES.....I CAN SEE IT NOW....AL GORE UP IN ARMS MAKING MOVIES WORRIED ABOUT THE MELTING UNDER-GROUND ICE CAPS ON THE MOON......HE WILL BLAME NASA AND THE MOON SHOT FOR SPIKING "MOON-COOLING!"

Pagan

Water found on the moon.

And, as yet, no confirmed intelligence found on the earth.

Garrie

I could never get the glass of water past my space helmet anyway.

Prop Guy

What proposition number has been assigned to this attack on the sanctity of a dry moon?

Cali Marty

WOW!

Don't tell Obama

Obama finds out that there is energy or water on the moon expect a new tax on anybody or anything trying to get their hands on it.

"Water found on the moon.

And, as yet, no confirmed intelligence found on the earth."

...except for me, of course.

When, I first read these comments here, my first thought was how long it would take a conservative to write a hateful Obama comment on a story about the moon? It never takes long.

Alterego

I hear Nevada is already begun preliminary studies to see if there is anyway to get that water to Las Vegas!

Lenny

Maybe we should send astronauts to the moon for the first time to investigate further.

I'm happy for you.

Neat

That is great. Can we the tax payers get back our $100 million.

Waste of money

So What? How much did we spend for that? How does it benefit us? Wasteful spending in all areas of our government...no wonder we spend trillions more than we make.

Re: Pagan

Yup, especially reading incessant comments from people like Ernest T Bass.

But where does that put me if I actually read it?

Re: Neat

You will, in health care. Just ask Anonymous (12:36).

Hateful Obama comment? Are you serious? Get over yourself. The reason people laugh about Obama is so they don't have to cry about him. Go back to hugging trees and watching CNN (while the rest of us work so you can cash your welfare check).

Coming to a store near you

Moon water... It's really expensive though.

Dave from Midvale again

FROM: Waste of money

"So What? How much did we spend for that? How does it benefit us? Wasteful spending in all areas of our government...no wonder we spend trillions more than we make."

And then the rest of the previous comments are repleate with jokes and jabs with no substance.

How these articles bring out the short sighted and pathetically ignorant (ie. Waste of money).

WATER ON THE MOON, IN SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS!!! This would facilitate a base there and then harvesting of the the vast. . . yes, I said VAST amounts of minerals and raw resources that would transform life as we know it. It would be a jump off base for Mars missions (with similar results in human benefit).

Future generations will look back and judge our foot draging on this.

There are ENORMOUS financial benefits with this; but more importantly are the vast leaps in knowledge we can gain. . . AND YES, this could have the potential to even benefit the poor around the earth as well as governments and corporations.

And be assured, I'm not just some Star Trek freak that wants to speed up the future.
