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.

  1. #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…

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  5. 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.
