From what I hear, you can never have too much water. While we may be facing more than we need soon if global warming (natural or otherwise) comes about, the Moon and its future inhabitants are a bit short at the moment.
Of course once you get a decent base set up, you can ferry craft off the moon’s surface much easier than from Earth. Go grab an asteroid or two composed mostly of ice and melt it up there. Mmm good.
Vampire stars, no less. And here I was blaming it all on the prospect of gay marriage.
I’m going to have to stop getting my science news from religious fundamentalists.
Excellent return! Seeing these babies land never fails to give me a happy chill of excitement.
The International Space Station should be about ready to take on tourists any day now (I wish) and, no matter how much I write ads about Florida vacations, this is my dream destination. Well, as long as it included a trip to the Moon in there. Although it would be nothing like the roomy berth on the station, I could rough it for a couple of days in a module.
Hordes of Supermassive Black Hole Found!
Dateline U.S. Congress.
Haha, just kidding. It’s amazing that this find probably more than doubles the amount of known black holes in the Universe. What? Were we just not looking in the right neighborhood? It was dark and we didn’t see them?
OK, seriously this is cool and also disturbing. There more black holes there are, the more matter is being sucked inside. That would be cool if we could use them for landfills or sumpin, but otherwise we’re looking at eventual suckage of the entire Universe, right?
This give me so much hope. Was it only yesterfay that I was bemoaning the fact that the US has given up on the moon? (Yes, I believe it was.) And now this. Perfect.
All you inventing nerds get busy and I mean get busy now! I want a lunar landing module, you surely want $2 million. If you just want to do it for the challenge, I’ll take the $2M off your hands and we’ll all share in the glory that is space.
Quit reading this and get busy!
Now this is the enthusiasm for space that we need to rekindle the world over – beginning at home. I know, wars and all that, but hopefully the next administration will will be a lot more conducive to life in space and on Earth.
Rockets belong in space, not on city streets.
A new wave of moon watchers is being born in China as the country prepares for the launch of a lunar orbiter. I’m so jealous. I mean the International Space Station is an excellent thing, but giving up an the moon after expending so much money, time and human lives to get there was simply stupid.
We should already have a Golden Arches up there.
