Not to long ago water was found on the Moon. This discovery has prompted space agencies around the world to figure out a way to get back to the lunar surface before the other guys. NASA is just excited as the rest and they are hoping for some backing. In a world going through economic depression the validity of such an lunar adventure is coming under fire. Much controversy surrounds whether we should concentrate on the Moon or shoot for Mars and the outer reaches of space.

If we do chose to go to the Moon what would we seem to gain from it? What we  can do on the Moon will directly correlate to how much water is actually there. If a fairly substantial amount exists we could use the Moon as a launch base for deeper space  missions. We could colonize and learn much about what it would take to live on other space bodies besides Earth.

Regardless of what goes down, this is an exciting time in history. One thing is certain. We won’t get anywhere if we are all selfish with out findings and our ideas. It will take a global effort to get anywhere. Lets hope we work together in such a way.
