Not sure that this water could be used, we are talking water bound up in dust basically in minuscule concentrations. Oddly enough they did discover this in the Apollo samples, but they assumed it was Earthly contamination because there "couldn't" be water in Lunar soil.

Tang will be happy.

And tapping it will be sooo easy, and...Why?

There's ice in craters at the poles in huge quantities, this is just a scientific curiosity. Lunar soil is "moist," who would have guessed? One of the wonderful things about space exploration, they almost never find what they were expecting to find.

Yet nary a chance of drowning!

I am dead against anything on the moon because knowing us humans, we will fuck things up and the moon is too important regarding our orbit but especially tides. Not to mention women's menstrual cycles ie fertility.

Ah! But imagine the fantastic spectacle if the earth and moon could collide! Women's bodies would go truly awry and the news would be full of Tsunami stories!

@Petter Don't use a natural satellite, make one. A death star crashing into Earth would be much more fun. Plus, imagine the havoc an extra massive satellite up there could have on tides and...........................other bits.

@puff How about all non-fanatical, intelligent people move to Mars, then persuade Venus to change orbit and bounce around on earth.
