It's Official: Water Found on the Moon
Space.com
Since man first touched the moon and brought pieces of it back to Earth, scientists have thought that the lunar surface was bone dry. But new observations from three different spacecraft have put this notion to rest with what has been called "unambiguous evidence" of water across the surface of the moon.
The new findings, detailed in the Sept. 25 issue of the journal Science, come in the wake of further evidence of lunar polar water ice by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and just weeks before the planned lunar impact of NASA's LCROSS satellite, which will hit one of the permanently shadowed craters at the moon's south pole in hope of churning up evidence of water ice deposits in the debris field.
The moon remains drier than any desert on Earth, but the water is said to exist on the moon in very small quantities. One ton of the top layer of the lunar surface would hold about 32 ounces of water, researchers said.
"If the water molecules are as mobile as we think they are — even a fraction of them — they provide a mechanism for getting water to those permanently shadowed craters," said planetary geologist Carle Pieters of Brown University in Rhode Island, who led one of the three studies in Science on the lunar find, in a statement. "This opens a whole new avenue , but we have to understand the physics of it to utilize it."

nothing a little lasix won't get rid of

Needs to turn around so we can get a look at those glutes...

So did Nasa bomb the moon or not?
-
LOL @ 32 oz of water....I think Pumpster holds that in his pinkie
-
Wow now we can go to the moon. Too bad it's fucking cold and there's still no oxygen. What a waste of time.

I refuse to believe it until it's confirmed by Stewart Swerdlow

Brutal moon face.

is this what you're referring to, stud?

;D

There was an actual news article about Nasa detonating a bomb on the Moon's surface, was it infact in the search of water? I'm not sure...

i agree, you have all these fags whining about 'government spending'...yet no one seems to mention or mind the billions of dollars being spent every year to send little toy cars to impossibly inhospitable rocks a million miles out in fucking space...yeah alot of good that does for your average american.
