MOON RUMORS

This Thursday NASA will hold a talk about the findings of a recent paper from Science magazine concerning results from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper aboard Chandrayaan-1. In case you’re not keeping abreast of moon news, we’ve been examining, probing, and bombing the ever loving shit out of our celestial neighbor in preparation for our inevitable move, once we ruin Earth. Anywayz, reliable sources report that the conference will reveal recent evidence that the Moon does, in fact, have water – and plenty of it. Meaning that it will be a snap to make the place life and atmosphere supporting. You might think this shit’s boring now, but just wait until there’s not enough land mass for this planet’s enormous population.

    QueenBee: What if we get there and find that Japan's giant solar panel is blocking our light? Can we shoot it down? Down where? If you shoot something in space, does it fall or just stick there?

      augustiniak: If I remember any 9th grade physics I'm pretty sure if you shoot it, the solar panel would start to move in the direction you shot it in (one of newtons laws), or at least a different direction from how it was moving cause if it were already moving... okay nevermind i don't remember 9th grade physics after all.

    yeehawmoolah: i heard someone make a great point the other day. the best thing we can do for the future of healthcare, and in many ways our country as a whole for the future is to provide birth control to everyone that wants it. fewer bodies means fewer to take care of.

      JenB: Zero population growth is probably the only chance we have at survival. If resources don't run out immediately, there will inevitably be plagues. The problem is people don't want birth control ;(

      dunbar: Yes. And it takes a minute for things to trickle from confusing science journals--> NASA conferences-->Blogs--> CNN. SpaceRef's promise of "Space News as it Happens." They've never let me down before - let's hope they don't start now.
