I don't know any sources for my statement but I guess you do have somefor yours so I am tempted to believe you  It doesn't matter anyways. | ||

On a serious note, though, I fail to see much benefit from this experiment. While I seriously doubt this "bombing" will cause the moon to fall off of it`s general course, it still seems like a heavy-handed way of conducting research. Plus, even if the suspicions of water being on the moon are not unfounded, wouldn`t the impact potentially cause some of the water to be drawn out into space and thus be accidentally lost? Considering the impact finding water on the moon would have for future space exploration, it seems like a bad way to go about looking for it. | ||

The whole point is to draw the water out from the crater...how else are they supposed to analyze it without sending all sorts of expensive rovers and whatnot there? NASA used a spent rocket from the launch of the LRO (which went up together with this project) to impact and create a dust cloud they could analyze to see if water has sublimated in those craters. I suggest you research the LCROSS/LRO projects, and you'll see just how efficient they are. | ||

They're conducting an experiment to find out if there's water on the moon, and the main reason they're doing this is to save money transporting water in the future. I hate this mentality nowadays that because of the economic recession everyone is supposed to stop doing whatever some random person thinks isn't essential. What do you think is gonna happen if they don't conduct this experiment? You think the saved money is going to be sent back to the government? exactly - and not only that: it has been well studied that for every dollar that has been spent on NASA research and development, the US has obtained a 10 fold return on it. This is the reason why now China, India, Korea, Japan and other countries are setting up or putting more money into their space programs. | ||

DUR and the moon is hollow. But you would know because you actually read the article or some of the posts. | ||
