It's all of the awesome I expected since India picked up on it a year ago. I read about it via a chappy from NASA saying "LOT'S OF WATER! W00T!"...ok, so maybe he didn't say exactly ...
I read about it via a chappy from NASA saying "LOT'S OF WATER! W00T!"...ok, so maybe he didn't say exactly that but he did confirm the goodness that means possible [and I quote] "The NASA researchers said water on the moon could be used by a future human settlement there, not just for drinking and bathing, but as a component for rocket fuel, if manned missions are ever launched from the moon."

Ben says? NICE!

Edited to add: NICE as it is, possibility of manned missions from the moon in my lifetime? Limited if not nill.

That's what I've been shouting for the last 12 hours. I think my friends are getting a little sick of it.

Realistically, yes, the chances of another major manned mission are pretty slim, but even if this just means it makes unmanned missions to, say, the asteroids and the Jovian moons easier and more likely, that's good enough for me. Mars is good and all, but what I'm really interested in are Europa and Ganymede.]]> Fuel up your spaceship on the moon H2O deposits discovered http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7218&Focus=202636#Comment_202636 2009-11-14T13:40:34-08:00 2013-05-21T00:06:27-07:00 chris g http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1829 FIRST ORDER OF BIZNESS: One of these on Planet Moon! ]]> Fuel up your spaceship on the moon H2O deposits discovered http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7218&Focus=202650#Comment_202650 2009-11-14T15:08:58-08:00 2013-05-21T00:06:27-07:00 johnjones http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1052 Why not sharks.
