Science now knows-


Water on the Moon: a Billion Gallons


Scientists Say LCROSS Moon Mission Found Enough Ice in Crater to Fill 1,500 Olympic Pools


Or wait, is it just evidence of water on the moon? Or is it confirming what science already suspected? Kinda

That's what's nice about science. It always changes what it 'knows'.


Water on the moon? Scientists used to think it was as dry as, well, lunar dust.

But after a year of analysis NASA today announced that its LCROSS lunar-impact probe mission found up to a billion gallons of water ice in the floor of a permanently-shadowed crater near the moon's south pole.

That's enough, said researchers, to fill 1,500 Olympic-size swimming pools, all from one crater.

If there is ice there, it probably exists in other places on the moon as well. They also found silver, mercury, carbon monoxide and ammonia.


I can't wait to find out what science knows tomorrow!

yeah isnt it great to work and live in a field that actually responds and changes it views in the face of new evidence instead of stupidly claiming that a book written by a bunch of nomads in some desolate desert a couple thousands of years ago is the infallible source of all knowledge and wisdom?

Really? I didn't know the bible was written by a "bunch of nomads". Do tell! I'm interested in what the classrooms have taught you. And hey, while you're on the moon, can you kindly stay there? Kthxbye

Stay where you are, redneck. You can only dream of the education we Europeans get.
