Unambiguous Evidence of Water On the Moon
Nethemas the Great writes "Information has leaked ahead of the scheduled NASA press conference tomorrow that we have found unambiguous evidence for water on the moon. From the article, 'Since man first touched the moon and brought pieces of it back to Earth, scientists have thought that the lunar surface was bone dry. But new observations from three different spacecraft have put this notion to rest with what has been called "unambiguous evidence" of water across the surface of the moon.'"
and if you proposed this some time ago, people would say "wow what an idiot you are". they would not say "interesting claim, please find evidence for it" because that would be a level of class far beyond their reach. no, they would have ridiculed you. almost every non-mainstream idea is treated this way by a bunch of narrow-minded fucks, and if you are reading this, there is a good chance you have been that narrow-minded fuck yourself at some time or another. some of these ideas get to become mainstream ideas and those eventually become what "everybody knows" and we forget the inertia that had to be overcome for mostly pointless yet somewhat valid reasons. people never seem to appreciate history very much or else maybe they'd read it and learn to keep more of an open mind. sigh.
