    Default moonshine

    I see the media yesterday were quick off the mark to inform people that water had been found on the moon. Many would be thinking Wow now we can go there and get a glass of water. Statements such as made quickly can be repented at leisure. I am waiting to hear the real scientific facts. First is it potable water? and 2, if it is water is it of the H20 variety 2 of Hydrogen and one of Oxygen ?. And 3 where do they get their so called reliable information from ? Like most newspaper and media stories today which are made for the sole purpose of not supplying general news , but to arouse the inquisivity of the reader , similar to the boy who cried wolf too many times. I await to hear the real story about water on the moon from more reliable sources. JS

    I would like to go to the moon (if it's safe) but only if i can drink the water.

    The cheese should be OK?

    From the title moonshine, thought pos they had home made grog up there also.

    A few crackers for a party.

    All sounds a bit pie in the sky but, the moon beats weighing pies over rainbows.

    Was coming from the pictures with my mam and dad when a kid one late evening. There was this bloke obviously after closing time relieving himself at the corner with a bag of chips in his hand. My old man to make light of any embarrasment with my mother there said , " Look at that hungry Basket a bag of chips in one hand and a lump of meat in the other". No doubt he would rather have been in the pub with him rather than being Hi-jacked to take us to the movies. JS

    Now being made of Green Cheese as we al know it is, we were taught that as kids.
    Yes there is water in some craters at the poles of the Moon.
    Story is that it would help with man as he makes his was to Mars, a water stop on the way.

    So what does he do when he gets to Mars, nothing up there Macalpines Fusillars never made it that far

    Still a lot to find out, think best to think in terms of slightly damp in some places
    before we start taking taps up in rockets. If it has not evaporated before we go
    again, it needs to be harvested and tested.

    Expect, the early ones will be carefully selected, I would not go
    as if they manage to sort out water, it will be passed my time
    and I would be happier when they have booze and a pub. Certain
    the moon is Welsh though, one of ours according to our bard Max
    was the first to land on the moon.

    besides permanent human habitation on a planetary body
    other than the Earth is one of science fiction's most prevalent themes.

    A mission to find all our missing spoons, a dish, a little dog laughing,
    a high jumping cow, cat, fiddle etc is more likely now. However, if
    this world does not destroy itself, who knows what will occur next,
    much of what we have now was Sci fi in years gone by.
