    This is huge. I repeat, HUGE. With several hundred kilograms of water observed in the ejecta, who knows how much more is below the surface? Congratulations to the visionary scientists and engineers at NASA.

    @Noobs-R-Us: If only there were some way we could take a close look at the water and see what kind of molecular-level organisms exist in it. Perhaps some kind of optical enhancement device might let us look closely enough?

    Bah! NASA with their "analysis". Wasting time, I say! Make with the optical enhancement devices! #wateronmoon

    @Noobs-R-Us: I don't know. I mean, without a source of oxygen, or b/c the water is hidden under all that rock, I can't imagine any life existing on the moon prior to a terraformation (if such a thing existed outside of a sci-fi novel).

    Even then, shouldn't simply boiling the water remove the impurities? #wateronmoon

    @evan_is_MrE: You silly humans. If a lifeform is not carbon-based, you assume it simply cannot exist. How juvenile is your way of thinking. The Galactic Council's decision to eradicate you before you can bring your destructive reign of terror to the universe at large is wise and just.

    .....Errr.....I mean....

    @Noobs-R-Us: not really. I mean, if they're anything like the microbes living deep deep down in our oceans, then I guess I understand a bit.

    But I thought that the cellular structure of an organism is broken down in the intense heat of the boiling water. #wateronmoon

    @evan_is_MrE: When it comes to space, all bets are off. I'm just saying that the old Star Trek episodes where the crew gets sick with something weird is completely plausible.

    To quote the dumb ass Rummy, you have to worry about what you don’t know that you don’t know.

    Im gonna use the same argument I have always used with regards to Moon Landing conspiracy theorists:

    If it were faked, Russia would have known. And they would not have let the US bullshit it. So shut up, you friendless, irritating attention seekers. #apollo17flag

    Maybe if this hadn't happened during the cold- "propaganda" -war era, people wouldn't be so wary about the credibility of this event. Russia and the USA were really desperate to show which had the biggest rocket and could jack it the farthest.

    Personally, I don't believe anyone has ever reached the moon yet: even with multinational support, a simple space station in Earth's orbit is barely sustainable so I can't fathom anyone reaching the moon 40 years ago in a tuna can equipped with far less technology than a cd-player but it doesn't matter; supporters and detractors will keep fighting over this until somebody arrives there in less shadowy circumstances. #apollo17flag

    The word is "jibes," by the way. It's NOT "jives." Both words are considered slang, but they mean opposite things.

    When things "jibe," they agree. When someone "jives" you, it means they're bullsh*tting you. Especially in 1975.

    (Note: My comments never seem to show up and this one will probably be no different.)

    Anyone who thinks that yet more proof of already known facts is somehow going to change the minds of folks who don't believe those facts is just as insane as the "moon landing is a hoax" conspiracy theorists.

    Such is the wonderment and power of a grand conspiracy. It can never be proven or disproven because it is so big that literally everyone in the entire world could be in on it. You think one more picture is going to forever debunk it? Pffft. #apollo17flag
