Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

If water in sufficient quantity is found, it could provide a source of oxygen for breathing and hydrogen for fuel. That would allow construction of a self supporting lunar base, which could then be a launch site for further solar system exploration.

Interesting, that would be some pretty expensive oxygen and hydrogen. Take a lot of enegy to separate H and O from H2O.

Not at all.. you can do it for free, particularly on a moon that has virtually no atmosphere.

NASA figures the only way to prove to the conspiracy morons that we really have landed on the moon is by blowing it up.
Then 50 years from now the new crop of nay sayers can say there really never was a moon. It was all just a hoax too.

If mankind refused to explore whenever there was somewhere else to spend the money, or expend the effort, we'd all be living in the African rift valley or hanging from trees. I'm sure Queen Isabella had other priorities too.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

My goodness! If that all started back in June, it should be history by now. I wonder what the results of the test are? And how many conspiracy theories are there? I know of the one that says that we never landed there.... In recent years there is the one of discovered remnants of civilization there that NASA has hidden from the public.... The one about extraterrestrial bases on the moon and american astronauts in a parallel space program that uses alien technology and regularly visit the alien moon base.... the one about the moon being a hollow, manmade or otherwise intelligent made structure. Maybe used to seed the planet, or currently occupied by those who did.... Okay okay. I listen to coast to coast AM. Those of you who do, understand where I'm coming from. 
Its more fun to be ridin'! I'm still ridin

Near the end of the article, they write, "The LCROSS mission - it stands for Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite - will launch on an Atlas V rocket together with another spacecraft, called the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The orbiter will circle the Moon for at least a year searching for potential landing sites for astronauts when they return there in the next decade. It will also look for suitable materials that might support a colony." Won't the lunar reconnaissance orbiter circling for a year be likely to pass through some of the debris field they expect to plume from the LCROSS impact? Is the moon's gravity so weak that that debris will clear out of the way of the passing orbiter? They might plan to orbit high up, but those objects set in motion will tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by another force and maybe some cantaloupe-sized bits of Moon will be floating out there... I'm no astrophysicist, but this seems a little like the chance one takes when spitting into the wind.

I just hope they don't hit the klangers or the soup dragon. The folks in the UK will know what I mean (hopefully).
Anyhow everyone knows the moon is made of cheese. Why bother blowing chunks of it up when you could just poke it with a giant fondue fork from the international space station.
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just plant aplug of crabgrass or cudzoo (sp) on the Moon. If it totally covered the planet in 3 months there's water.
