Of course, even if this were true, then so what? If we can make money and
create jobs while exploring the universe, then so much the better.



Actually, there really is oil in space. There is oil on
some asteriods that comes very close to Pennsylvania crude
in composition. Do a google on "Oil in Space!" and you can
get the details.

And I suppose, since there is oil on asteriods, and
asteriods crash into the Moon, there's probably a chance
there is oil on the Moon.
