I believe Halliburton already owns the rights to this moon water field. They were secured during a closed-bid auction process during the Bush-Cheney administration.

Ah, well then - since it was all done in the name of Freedom and Democracy, then I guess that makes it okay.

NASA is the biggest fucking waste of time ever. We should be charting the oceans and all the species that live there. We know there's life there and what are we doing? We're slamming multi-billion dollar equipment into the moon for 25 gallons of frozen water. Shit, pay me 20 bucks and I'll make you 25 gallons of ice. Unfuckingbelievable.

Did you not see Armageddon? Bruce Willis and Aerosmith would disagree with you.

Yeah... a seemingly infinite universe we know so little about that will no doubt be the most important part of our existence and we should divert all funding to the oceans? How about instead we stop funding the BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of dollars of REAL pointless shit and focus on BOTH. Also water on the moon means that it can serve as a launch point and habitation... first step of space colonization.

Could not possibly agree with this more.

Until there is something out in space that is worthwhile doing, or bringing back to earth, there really isn't much point.

EXACTLY. Take care of the earth we have, don't decide you're going to play God and colonize a planet/moon/asteroid that has NO atmosphere to speak of.
