Top Ten Things Finding Ice on the Moon Means
The LCROSS explosion has proven there is ice on the moon. Exciting, huh? So what does this mean for us? It means ten things that I can order by importance:
TOP TEN THINGS FINDING ICE ON THE MOON MEANS
10. Super yuppies can drink obscenely-priced moon water.
9. The one NASA scientist who was like, “There is no way there is water on the moon,” now has to pay up five dollars.
8. Government regulations mean that, along with the flag, they now have to put “Caution: Ice” signs on the moon.
7. NASA can save space in the lunar module because now they can just bring empty balloons to the moon and fill them with water when they get there.
6. If the moon catches fire, not a big deal now.
5. Chance of finding frozen cavemen on the moon has increased significantly.
4. Now knowing the moon is covered in ice means the astronauts need to be careful of wampas.
3. There is no reason to go to Mars since we can find ice on the much closer Moon.
2. The movie The Ice Pirates is now much closer to being a reality.
And the number one thing finding ice on the moon means…
There is finally proof that it’s kinda cold on the moon.

the epa will declare the moon a wetland and prohibit us from doing anything with it.

All that moon water belongs to third world countries.
Obama must keep his cotton-pickin’ hands off of it.
November 16th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
As everyone knows ice on the moon is just a part of the global warming phenomenon……Al Gore, Capantrade, Tennessee, PS…..And Manbearpig IS real!!

We won’t nuke it out of fear of melting those precious ice caps.
Did you really think The World’s Dog would nuke the Moon, Frank? I told you so.

Ice Pirates – what a movie! Robert Urich, space herpes, hehehehehehe

11. NASA immediatly requested funding for “Lunar Margarita Machine” technology

Has Obama bowed to the moon yet?
November 16th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
And we give a damn about water on the moon because?
November 16th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
#8, because it removes a major obstacle for a permanent or long term station on the moon if we don’t have to send up water. Water’s kinda heavy, see, and this simplifies a critical logistical concern.
Also, it’s important to keep an up to date working knowledge of where it’s safe for a Kennedy to drive…

USSJC says: Has Obama bowed to the moon yet?
No, but the first sasquatch was heard grunting at it.
November 16th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Plentyobailouts not only was the first sasquatch grunting at the moon it was flinging poo at it too.

The moon (particularly the crescent) is an Islamic symbol since Allah was originally a moon god. So, yes, Obama has bowed to the moon.

I will take my ice skates there and skate triple eight designs and remake the man’s face on the moon into the dinasaur with laser launchers

I’ve got three words: Green Cheese Snowcones! (Snow Cones? OK, four words)

Is a frozen moon nukable?
November 16th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Nunya, no. You wouldn’t want to microwave it.
But maybe the Man In The Moon is actually the Iceman.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Remember, the moon landing was just Capitalist American Joo Fakery…the Ice is just more of the same.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
What about the endangered moon Polar bears?! Their moon ice is melting!
November 16th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
What good is ice on the moon?? As soon as you thaw it, it all floats away. FAIL!
November 16th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Does this mean Aquaman lives on the moon? And will we get those frozen Moontinis?
November 16th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
They’d have to build their moon base near the poles to be near the water. It’s always cold there, but that might be a good thing. If they built the base near the moon’s equator, they’d have to shield against both heat and cold as the moon revolves and passes from light to dark. At the pole they’d also have advance warning of anything sneaking up on us from the dark side.

215of7 – the moon does not rotate. The same side always faces Earth.
Even Obama knows that…
November 17th, 2009 at 3:21 am
But the moon does rotate. It just take a month to complete a revolution, the same amount of time it takes to revolve around the earth. So the same side always faces us.
There must be something bad on the dark side. We found their stash of ice. We should nuke it.

Does this mean we can have ice with our whiskey?

This also significantly increases the chance that we will one day be able to sing:
We’re whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon.
But there ain’t no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.

Calvin & Hobbes On The Moon…
Just keep your grubby paws off the moon for now…

Make the moon the 58th state.

Less risk of solar radiation exposure at the poles, better place for a space observatory, low gravity reduces stress on heart, promising greater longevity, solar powered railguns to beat the Earth into submission if they start getting uppity towards their Lunar Overlords would work nearly as well at the poles as at the equator due to the Moon’s slow rotation… I’m convinced.
