The same science nerds who want you to believe in evolution and gravity now say there is a lot of water on the moon!

In an audacious experiment last year, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration slammed a spent-fuel rocket into a lunar crater at 5,600 miles an hour, and then used a pair of orbiting satellites to analyze the debris thrown off by the impact. They discovered that the crater contained water in the form of ice, plus a host of other resources, including hydrogen, ammonia, methane, mercury, sodium and silver.

NASA announced its groundbreaking discovery of lunar water last October. Now, a more detailed analysis of the data—the subject of six research papers being published Friday in the journal Science—concludes that there is a lot more water on the moon than anyone expected.

"It's really wet," said Anthony Colaprete, co-author of one of the Science papers and a space scientist at NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif. He and his colleagues estimate that 5.6% of the total mass of the targeted lunar crater's soil consists of water ice. In other words, 2,200 pounds of moon dirt would yield a dozen gallons of water.

Awesome, but I'm more interested in silver

Yeah I don't see what the BFD is with water. Water is in every vending machine.

"It's really wet,"

Yeah, that's what that chick in the bar kept saying.

There aren't any vending machines on the moon.

There aren't any vending machines on the moon.

That is probably because there is insufficient demand for the product. Think of this as exhibit 234,671 in the case for the free market. Not that a commie like you would understand.

don't tell that to wal-mart, they'll see this as opportunity.
