Hello ALL !!!
I'm new here, actually just found this forum and came in because someone had posted the Moon, water news ... But after reading the post I'm surprised at the responses because I thought anyone that would come to this forum would be commenting in a more laid back, stoner imagination, more of a "far Out Man", manner.
This news is nothing more or nothing less than FAR OUT MAN ! ....
I certainly do not intend or mean to belittle anyone ... I'm just saying ... this is some way cool shit, on so many levels ... but to the coolness in a second, but first .. The deal about blowing up part of the moon .. not happing ... just .... No ... the plan WAS to drop a piece O crap part from a Satellite probably .. PART ... regardless of size of part available to drop, direct, guide ... IMPACT ... The outcome would be nothing more than what happens occasionally on the moon, but this time we would be ready to test the contents of the dust that would arise ... What's new is that we have really never considered this before, I mean we DID have a man there with a shovel ... But ALAS, no need to impact, have detected water (sort of) without having to impact, dust study.
Now to the "Coolness" The reason that so many people including me, are doing the Happy Dance

is because the "Unwater" contains ... basically free fuel ... It's the possibilities that are the "Far Out" part ...
ok, that's MY Story and I'm stickin to it ! ...
and yes I'm looking for good conversation ... so lay it down ... if you understand the implications ...
