So, we are bombing the Moon tomorrow eh?

15 years ago

Personally i would rather we didnt mess with the only moon we have. Yeah i know the probability of something going bad is remote, but seeing as we're talking about the moon, even a remote possibility would be enough for me to say no.

Why are we worrieda bout whether or not there is water on the moon or not. If we're going to colonize it we'll have to ship or manufacture water there anyway

Thanks

If there is water there, we won't have to. Shiping it there would be WAY too much trouble.

Then again, they have been talking about colonizing it for over 100 years! Would we EVER?

As my late step-father would say,

(censored) 'this just frosts my fanny'.

We have what - 3/4 of the earth covered with water? A large part of the remaining 1/4 of earth has drought conditions and we can't figure out how to desalienate the massive oceans we have, which coincidentally are water right? Put the water where it is needed? of course not too logical.

(actually before you correct me, I know they know how to desalienate, however they do not for some reason utilize the technology and instead let millions of people, animals, trees, etc die, rather than to do what is logical).

(oh and this is not to mention merely constructing reservoirs to catch the guess what rain is water in places like California).:rolleyes:

OK so now we are worried about water on the moon? W-T-FFFFF.

I agree, just leave it alone, maybe the man in the moon will figure something out to put 2+2 together. We don't want to disturb him. He may be thinking...

Dammit... I was all set to agree that we should bomb those alien *******s off our moon but, according to Richard, they ain't aliens.

Is it going to be any different than a lump of space rock hitting it? Granted, we'll know the exact time and place of impact, which is what's going to allow proper observation of the effects but, if we could predict the time and location of an asteroid impact, we could use that instead.

But we can't, so why not use this "artifical asteroid" (for want of a better description) instead? The effects on the moon will still be the same (i.e. devastating at the impact site, but no effect whatsoever on a macro scale).

I'm rather intrigued about what he said about the Indian research and they were made to sit on it even though they wanted to release it. I'm gonna have to hunt that out, it'll drive me crazy otherwise.

Hoagland credentials are good but ya never know whether he's telling troof or is deliberate disinfo. Misinfo. Or just an attention junkie. Who knows.

Wish I had a telescope. I'm sure if anything untoward happens someone will have it up on YouTube though.

LOL yeah, I had an initial doubletake. I confess I giggled. I'm so immature. :p

I believe desalination isnt used because its so expensive and takes up a lot of room.

well to put it in perspective, there are just over 13000 desalination plants in the world, they only produce .1% of the world fresh water.

The largest plant in the world is saudi arabia...it cost 1.6bil for the plant. This doesnt take into account the infrastructure needed or shipping costs to get the water to where it needs to go.

Funny...the egyptians seemed able to pull it off with just a little slave labor

A much easier way to provide raw materials for a lunar settlement, including water and hydrocarbons, would be comet capture. Water can be catalyzed into oxygen for air and hydrogen for fuel, using solar power for electricity. Nitrogen is the bigger problem. Metals for construction of rather large facilities could be gotten from a single small asteroid.

We are awash in resources. We just don't have the will to reach out and grab them.

Fanny means your rear end here, Thomas, what does it mean there?

However I don't know why somebody would have a cold rear end when they get angry. 'frosted fanny'...

LOL.

For those of you bored, here's an interesting documentary re the moon. Many NASA employees are interviewed, a few top ranking military men etc, and evidence of doctored moon photos. Premise is that NASA have been economical with the truth, and there is a reason we haven't been back to the moon before now.

All of a sudden, everyman and his dog are going *cues twilight zone music*

If this info is true (even some of it), then that makes it even more interesting what they are doing tomorrow. And alarming.

Intriguing tie-in with the ancient Egyptians and the 'swoosh' logo all the various space agencies use. Nah, it couldn't be true. Could it??

It's in 9 parts, here's the first 4. If you're entertained, the others are on the bottom scroll panel at YouTube

Enjoy!

India already discovered that there is in fact water on the moon. Before India did, they were claiming they were going to send missiles to each pole of the moon on the other side (the side we cannot see), so that they could test for water. I do not understand why they would still go ahead with this then, when water has been discovered.

I figure then, that since they have bombed everything else on earth, that earth wasn't enough, and the new thing will be bombing other planets and moons in the solar system? Lol...

Ok, but seriously, the moon helps keep the earth in proper orbit- and if they just so happen to knock a big chunk off of the moon, what will happen to our orbit then, hypothetically speaking?

Good point! The lunar tides make it clear that SOMETHING is being done. HEY, only 3 years till 2012!
