Rocket Crashes into Moon

How does this sound: When the government or some private agency finally gets around to funding a base or supply station or colony on the moon (and it will happen, mark my words), those tiny ice particles could offset the cost of maintaining it by billions of dollars a year. Is that worth it? Hell yes. The same goes for Mars, where they recently found deposits of water beneath the surface, due to an asteroid collision.

Also, if we find water on the moon, the closest celestial body to our own, it means the odds of finding it elsewhere in the solar system and the universe at large go way up, and therefore, the odds of finding life like that of our planet go way up as well. The logic is: if water exists in many places in our solar system, it's probably a pretty common feature of most systems in the universe. Since our kind of life depends on water, we are likely to find it where there is water. Since water is so common, life may also be more common than originally thought.

That answer your question?

I don't feel the need to repeat what both libregkd and Childofturin said already, but I do want to add that you can't just expect people to go straight out to Saturn just like that.

By the way, my post was pointing out that the moon is a first step, I just hope you realise that, right?

 

Yes I do realized that right. :|
