If I had a chance to smash stuff into the moon I totally would. Badass!

 

[Gibsons]

Because it's way cool, and much cheaper than manned missions.

Would you rather be funding an unwinable war in Iraq? 😕

The funding for this is likely a drop in the bucket compared to the debacle in Iraq.

why not?
the hunt for water is important if we ever want to do anything in the future on the moon. if there is frozen water there... that's a huge discovery.

You didn't even have to read the article.

In the headline: "Scientists believe lunar double whammy may reveal hidden ice in craters"

If we're going to send people back to the moon, it would be good to find out if there is any water on the surface. If you've got water on the moon, it could reduce costs significantly since you won't have to transport nearly as much water.

And as taxpayer, I'd rather see money dumped into the sciences. In the long run, it will be much more beneficial to us as a country (and a planet) than some BS war in Iraq or other nonsense that our government spends money on.

I hear Al Qaeda has a hidden base on the lunar south pole.

I also hear Al Qaeda is pouring money into researching fusion and alternative energy as well as new propulsion techniques.

$$$ for science here we come!

Maybe if you READ the article you're linking to instead of just the headline, you'd know the answer to your own retarded question.

That'd probably work too.

space exploration is retarded.

exploration should be limited to our households. the universe revolves around my dining room table, damnit!

No doubt. NASA's entire yearly budget is only about 16 billion.

Not so retarded if we want to survive as a species. We best get off this planet and colonize other worlds.

 

[Safeway]

It is in the name of science and pursuit of knowledge.

 

[TwiceOver]

I'm OK with that. It's good to test things out that are close by rather than trying to do this on Mars or something.

 

[zinfamous]

believe me...that Moon's had it coming for a loooong time :|
