Last month I woke up to in the middle of the night to see if I could see Lcross. I couldn't with my telescope but anyways...
There is water on the moon. I am in tears because this means so much to us, me. This changes everything!

it is pretty amazing! I just watched it on the news.
they're speculating that comets pounding into the moon throughout time are the source of the water. really amazing news.

Finally a water break on my marathon runs to the moon, I was always so thirsty. Seriously though what a neat find, now if only we could find a way to focus on space exploration instead of, finding new and creative ways to argue with each other.

I've been looking at work being done on a space elevator. If someone can ever find a way to do it, the costs associated with lofting things into orbit would crash, finally opening doors to colonization of other bodies in the Solar System. It's only a matter of time.

We couldn't have done this thirty years ago? I'm just saying.......
I've also been following this and I am also super excited. I'm just afraid I won't see anything come of this in my lifetime (and I'm not that old).

I agree with that. It's kind of hard to have a meaningful space program when you're spending $500 billion a year on defense.

That's what you get when you put an agency like NASA on the job. How long did it take Scaled Composites to get up and running?

You know I've been out of touch for a while. Is this all really true?

I just read how a few NASA scientists have dug up results that showed some moon rock samples taken back in 1969 showed water, but due to prevailing scientific beliefs at the time, the scientists who analyzed them back then just chalked up the results as due to contamination by the astronauts who collected them.
Break out the outer space slip and slide.

There was actually a little flurry back in '69 about it but it was discounted as soon as it hit the news. Of course a lot in '69 and around that time was hushed up. I was glad when it surfaced again.

Was it the Summer of 69? Some say, those were the best days of my life.

Shuuush! We don't want everyone to know what everyone was doing back then....

India's moon mission Chandriyan-I capture some photographs that confirms there is water on the Moon.
http://parkavithai.blogspot.com/2009/02 … ssion.htmlThis is amazing news. I'm really anxious to see what we learn about Jupiter and Saturn's moons, though. If there's water on any of them, that will really be incredible.
