(sarcasm alert) Hey, maybe then we should start looking for..ah..well damn, I can't think of an analogy as stupid as looking for water on the freaking Moon. Rocks from Jupiter maybe? Building castles in the middle of a swamp? s There MIGHT be water, in the bottoms of permanetely dark and frozen craters. |

I understand the reasoning, that finding even traces might help a colony be more affordable. But the data should be highly suspect as those experiments were clearly politically motivated in order to justify The Vision. Large scale mining operations on the Moon would be optimistically 50 years away. No one could possibly predict what the societal, political or technological issues would be t h a t f a r o u t. No politician could possibly make an expensive promise now that has any chance of being kept by every administration until then. Politicians rarely enough can keep their own promises. The idea didn't even pass a laugh test. Our very existence and future must clearly be at stake for such things to have a chance.
