Ok, I did a google late last nite, and the first hit I came up on the subject with a nasa.gov link has the feel of a
fairy tale. It's basically a "gosh we sure tried, but we don't know" story with a 40-year history.
The 2nd NASA hit is
right here. It wasn't a tricky search either, I went to Google and types in: water on the moon
and let fly.
This 2nd link? it's dead. "connection was reset". Here is the summary that came with the link on the search page:
"There is no other source of water on the Moon, and shipping water to the Moon for use by humans would be extremely expensive ($2000 to $20000 per kg). ..."
Now, I know this is "a bit" presumptive, and such but, anyone else wanna guess with me where the above conversation was going?
I'm guessing it's probably more of the usual,
"Nothing to see here, move along. Just a dead rock in space..."
NASA is such a consistent disappointment. I really do believe we'd be farther out in space is we simply hired monkeys to throw rocks up in the air... and took notes.
