India... life on Moon?

Good gracious, it is enough to make one dance in a most excited way,
news like this is:
http://www.dnaindia.com/scitech/repo...n-moon_1322785

Uh, guys...there are these things called carbonaceous chondrites that
fly around in space and occasionally run into planets and moons.

Yes, there's loads of carbon/soot as well as many precious metals and
raw elements on our moon(Selene), almost as though it came to us from
Sirius(B).

Interestingly, similar observations were made by the US's first manned Moon landing mission, the
Apollo-11, in July 1969, which brought lunar soil samples back to Earth. But due to a lack of
sophisticated equipment then, the scientists could not confirm the finding.

And why not?

What the hell do we know?

small amounts of water+organic compounds + good solar energy...

Who could say that it is impossible?

Yeah, I'd call it jumping to a conclusion faster than a Sprint launch.

You forgot...very high temperatures during daylight, very cold
temperatures at night, hard vacuum, hard UV sunlight, and high radiation
during solar storms.
Any life that could evolve and survive in those conditions would have to
be wildly different from anything on Earth and more like the Andromeda
Strain.
So I'm saying it's wildly improbable, and since something like that
could easily survive being blown to Earth via a meteoric impact on the
Moon, if it had evolved it would probably be the dominant form of life
on Earth right now, due to its incredible toughness.

Especially since they can't prove we've actually been to the moon.

A km of robust basalt crust is a hundred fold better protection than
any atmosphere and magnetosphere combined. That moon has a minimum of
50 km in mineral saturated basalt crust to work with, so where's the
problem?.

It seems to me that the Indian scientists reported the detection of organic
material. Then somewhere maybe a translator from Hindi to English, or
maybe a journalist trying to write "organic material" in laymen terms
put in signs of life. So I doubt very much that the scientists actually
said anything about life on the Moon. In any case, many humorists
trying to be funny can't get to be as funny as the guy who wrote that.

So you think that the LRO images of the lunar landing sites are
faked?

Yep, the Bible went through the same "translations" and we have Jesus
walking on water, turning water into wine and feeding thousands with
only a few fish.
