I thought Helen Keller posted on the hype for a second.

 

[Morg]

Water? Probably just run off from the Inhumans sewer

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Hey, when galactus devours a planet, he's gotta go somewhere.

...so we're one step close to 'The Time Machine' reality of colonizing the moon. Which will then throw off the pull and send it crashing to earth.) Great.

 

[Gamma Ray]

Why would anyone want to live on the moon? The commute into the city is ridiculous.

 

[enterthemadness]

Why do we still care about the Moon? Been there...it is too small for us to go to.

Considering the prominence of massively powerful celestial impacts on the lunar surface, that's ********.

The moon is slowly and steadily moving away from the earth as well. A reversal of that trend would take monumental forces.

I'm going to assume you're kidding, but I thought I'd throw that out there anyway. There are some really, really stupid people on the Hype!.

 

[GhostPoet]

I'm excited. I mean...I really hope they release info on what's IN the water. That's what has me interested. Perhaps some of that water could have been from ancient comets even. There's no telling WHAT alien microscopic organisms they could find. Sadly, it seems like the news never covers these things. :/

the moon bears gotta drink something

 

[Alex The Great]

Givien that a very small percentage of the Earth's water is drinkable. It would be a very good idea to go there and get that water. Would be hard as hell though

Our time and money would be much better spent on desalinization technologies and other water purification techniques. Water is pretty heavy and would present significant problems for any massive transport attempt.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, going to get water from the moon sounds like a waste of money

 

[Alex The Great]

Spoons, use your muscles and pull the moon closer so we can get it

 

[Paroxysm]

They also found lots of silver too. Soon we'll be mining the moon.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

No, there'd be tidal waves 5000 ft high and women's menstrual cycles would explode

 

[knowsbleed]

I just read that there will be 5000 ft high exploding menstrual cycles and I smiled.


Why did I smile?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

In that case, the moon is def staying right where it is

 

[ObakeTora]

Yeah, going to get water from the moon sounds like a waste of money

It also has a high mercury content as well.

 

[SuperFerret]

But just think about how much you can charge for it? Moon Water! It'll be the next best thing since sliced dinosaur!

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I want to use the water for Kool-Aid.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Oh **** this changes my life entirely!

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

Water? Probably just run off from the Inhumans sewer

That stuff probably cures cancer.

 

[taskmaster]

I'd be more interested in Werewolves on the moon.
