Not just a little water ice and not water locked into the rocks but real honest to goodness ice. The 1998 Lunar Prospector mission returned data indicating that there was a high likelihood of water on the moon. 11 years later on October 9th the $79 million dollar probe LCROSS impacted the moon with a projectile before itself plunging into the lunar crater Cabeus providing the data that moon base proponents were hoping for.
Ice confirmed on the moon.

Ever since the books “Holy Blood , Holy Grail” and “The Da Vinci Code” hit the book stores a lot of television shows have been dedicated to debunking much of what was written in those pages. The Discovery Channel has had its’ fare of shows presenting the viewpoints of a parade of Psychologists, Historians, Masons, Conspiracy experts and Conspiracy debunkers.
Why Not The Moon?

The real question is why it has taken better than thirty years to begin a serious discussion of a return to the moon?! There are many theories as to why we have not returned, especially if one is into conspiracies (Dark Mission being one of the more interesting conspiracy theory books on the subject.) I will not swim in those waters today but, the problem with theories is that they are just that, theory. While many scoff at the more extreme of the conspiracy theories, the truth is NASA has brought all of this down upon it self. How can NASA battle the bad press and the critics when it was NASA that created the environment that fomented the situation?

I am usually never without something to say, however, lately I can not get a handle on what I want to blog about. There is a lot in the news with Balloon Boy, some interesting medical, space, and archeological news yet I have not decided what to write about. Maybe after I get some rest I will have something interesting to say by the end of the weekend. If not, then not.
