Yay! It's neat because I actually got up at 5 in the morning to watch the live broadcast of it crashing in the moon. (Which had rather disappointing footage.) Glad to hear the mission was successful. I wonder how the fishing would be.Remember the LCROSS mission? Well, I didn't. In fact, I forgot about it until today, when I saw a whole bunch of news stories that shouted "THERE'S WATER ON THE MOON!"
I've heard that there are resources that can be harvested on the Moon. Several companies are interested in sending missions to get them.I don't see why it's so great. Why can't we just stay on Earth and stop messing around where we're not meant to be?
You know, light has a different signature as it passes through different substances. I'm sure oxygen has a very different signature then water does. If a recipe for cake asked for a half cup of water, (not sure if it would ask for water, but bare with me anyway) do you think you have a cake in the end? (If it oxygen was able to stay liquid at room temperature that is )i doubt that there is water because water has oxygen. and if there is oxygen then................you get the rest.
The first link Nukoca posted says:There's clearly not enough water on the moon or Mars to sustain any kind of colony or expedition of humans, so for me its existence is a mere curiosity.
It kicked up 26 gallons of water. I don't think that was only water on the moon. If they were able to find that much from just one impact, there's GOT to be a lot more!The 5,600-miles-per-hour impact carved out a hole 60 to 100 feet wide and kicked up at least 26 gallons of water.
