NASA Takes Aim at Moon with Double Sledgehammer

[scottmandue]

Shouldn't we be worried about the moonies launching a counter attack?

Why did you fail to explain how you can possibly think that water is useable when it is almost 240,000 miles away in space sitting on a huge pile of dust and rock and the only way for us to use it would be to go there, extract it, and bring it back at a cost so high it would even make Obama cringe?
Why?
BTW using your own description of 10 to the 12th power grams of water on the moon would fill an olympic size swimming pool up about one third of the way.
saying that there isn't even enough water on the moon to fill an olympic sized swimming pool up half way is a TRACE of water crystals. (using your numbers)
My sources are fine. Check yours, and do the math.

I like checking people's math.

If there's 10e12 grams of water, and there's 3785.412 grams/gallon, and an olympic pool is 660,000 US gallons, then 10e12/3785.412/660,000 = 4002.6 olympic pools worth of water on the moon.

Your point is still well taken.

You are entertaining, but now it's time to eat lunch. Toodles!

How's the crow, btw?

L O L ... I see you're still ticked off that I called you on your stupid "liquid soul out of dinosaurs" phrase.

You enviro-PC types are all the same... you love to dish it out, but you go all wacky and bugeyed when you get shown up.

Typical.

Hey, aren't you glad there are guys like sammy refining that dinosaur juice so you can run your car?

Or are you converting it to solar this afternoon so you can be on your enviro-condescending high horse?

Hmmmm?

Petrol makes the world go 'round right now, dude... nothing NASA has done will do anything to change that anytime soon.

I'm enjoying your insanity... please continue.

Hmmm... I don't know what that is, but it sounds like a gift that a mafioso would give to someone he wants to get rid of.

I assume it won't combust unless it has plenty of liquid dinosaur soul in it.

It's an official NASA issued version. Very expensive. Several hundred thousand...

This thread is weird. Why does anyone think that the goal is to get water from the moon and bring it back to earth? Where did you guys get that idea?

+1.0x10^12

The thread went from interesting bit of info to ridiculous name calling in no time flat. I think there's a leak in PARF.

That would be cool though, just think about it, they've got glacial water and spring water and water that's formed in funny molecular shapes with extra oxygen. But they don't have moon water. I'd buy a bottle of that. hhahahahah



Maybe this is what they were thinking!

I think the answer is obvious . . . Tang.
