Bombing the Moon for Water

s20451 writes "In 1998, NASA scientists deliberately crashed the Lunar Prospector into the Moon, in a failed attempt to detect traces of water allegedly hiding in deep craters at the lunar south pole. Now the BBC is reporting a new proposal to attack the lunar poles with "Bunker Buster" missiles to liberate a detectable amount of water. Called Polar Night, the mission is being proposed as part of the "Discovery" series of probes."

No, it's the BBC, aka "Al Jazeera West".

You know, the "Saddam Network", where even their reporters in the field could not believe the crap their leftest staff was putting out.

It's a shame, I used to look to the BBC for unbiased reporting. Now they make CNN look like Fox News.

And now the BBC head honcho is bitching that U.S. networks are biased. Talk about pots and kettles...

No, George, there really isn't a man on the moon. Ari is just teasing you.

No, George, he isn't laughing at you. He's winking. Relax. We'll get you a telescope for Christmas, we promise.

No, George, I don't suppose that we could convince the world that he's hiding J. Lo's talent up there.

GEORGE, WOULD YOU STOP GETTING COLON AND JPL ON A THREE-WAY CONFERENCE CALL AND MAKING BANG! BANG! NOISES DURING DINNER!
