Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who in 1969 made his historic Apollo 11 moonwalk with Neil Armstrong, was pleased to hear the latest discovery, but still believes the U.S. should focus on colonizing Mars.

"People will overreact to this news and say, `Let's have a water rush to the moon,'" Aldrin said. "It doesn't justify that."

what, are you gonna punch them in the face if they say that? you old ass?

If you attempted to pee on the moon your urine would turn into steam the second it exited your body.

no it would probably just slosh around in your space suit

unless you're dumb enough to get your dong out on moonland

do you want your dong to blow up like arnold schwarzenegger's head in total recall?

Sort of.

best spam subject line ever xpost

But that's not a problem if you're standing on the dark side. Hence the line in the closing track of Pink Floyd's famous album: "I'll pee here on the dark side of the moon".

HA AHAHHAHHA HAA

tell it to our lord and savior Neil Armstrong when you get to the gates of moon heaven, unbeliever

"People will overreact to this news and say, `Let's have a water rush to the moon,'" Aldrin said. "It doesn't justify that."

buzz u r grossly overestimating the public's interest in space

Another consideration is that the force of your micturation might be enough to cause your body to reach escape velocity in the moon's reduced gravity field. You could pee yourself into the oblivion of space, or if you're lucky, straight into the sun.

moon babies

you obv dont realize that Neil Armstrong put the laws of force and gravity into the world to TEST YOUR FAITH xpost

LETS HAVE A WATER RUSH TO THE MOON!!!

GUYS!!

I'm peeing on an Apollo 11 mission patch right now. Let's see if it bursts into flame.

it doesn't justify that, xp

listen 2 buzz

FOR SCIENCE

BUT THE MOON WATER!!

Ooooh, a water rush? Count me in!

Wait - what's a water rush?

Haven't you even seen the Day After Tomorrow? I thought you knew about things.

STOP ASKING QUESTIONS AND GET TO THE MOON STAT!!!!

it will just turn into wine, dont you people read your bibles sheesh

i want water from moon drink it turn into cheese moon man

TAKE A MOON WATER BUTT!!

If you believe that, I've got some lunar water rights to sell you.

i'm thirsty should i go to the moon

this is all so stupid, we've known there was water on the moon since at least the early 70s. Gerard K O'Neill talks about it in the High Frontier.

(sorry now back to the COMEDY JOEKS!)

hey if you guys are rushing to the moon, i'm totally in, feeling kinda parched tbh

moon

babies

Gerard K O'Neill talks about it in the High Frontier.

Maybe your buddy Gerard was "high" when he talked about "Moon Water"

WE R RUSHING 2 THE MOON ASAP!

GOING 2 MOON BRB

ay cankels Science Fair Judges Sought

when come back bring water

Coca-Cola has already bought the moonwater rights from NASA and they are bottling it and selling it as $200/oz Moon2O (except with the 2 as subscript) and the Hollywood Elite such as Paris Hilton et al are going to drink it at their parties and it is going to piss Buzz Aldrin off so much

I would like to drink water from Paris's moon

when you say that do you mean her butt

i can't answer you, i am in space capsule on way to moon

bring tang in case the water tastes all cheesy

it's up to a rag tag bunch of rollerskating orphans to free the water... on the moon

we also have a golden retriever named Bitsy

Buzz doesn't want us going back to the moon in case someone finds the poop he did there.

that is the second glorious mystery

My brother, 40, always used to say he didn't want to bring a kid into an overpopulated world where we were fucking up all the resources etc. Now he's settled down with a woman and bought a house and they're trying for a baby. I'd rather drink moon water.

also since i wrote this i have become familiar that there is mad water in space, at first i was like woah dude water how and then when i started to look around more there's a shit ton of hydrogen and as the elements evolve getting more electrons and shit it aint that far to oxygen and blammo electrostatic forces and there's the water which likely freezes pretty soon after that making particles that then are set to acquire more mass as more particles stick to that one and soon enough blammo earth

how do they work

.nick xpost....................

Moon water is pretty much like mozzarella water. Nasty stuff imo, I for one won't drink that shit.

revolting onion men, on the other hand...

otoh, mozzarella water is hella good 4 ur skin, like comparable to virgin blood, would kill for moon fluid tbh

otooh, is the point

dudes, be science like stfu. 000oo--o

science is never being like stfu

I'm really not understanding why people are so desperate for us to survive as a species.

cause intelligent life is the universe observing itself, which is pretty woooooooaaah dude; and without it you kind of wonder what the point of it all would be. and we're the only intelligent life we know.

Pretty sure humans aren't the only intelligent life we know.

yeah well i've never heard of a dolphin composing a symphony, or a chimp passing gcse physics.

Well they are kind of slack on the academic side of things, maybe they just don't see the point.

My brother, 40, always used to say he didn't want to bring a kid into an overpopulated world where we were fucking up all the resources etc.

This is an impressive feat of rationalization.

xp Ok sure we can call dolphins and chimps intelligent but I think it's unquestionable that our intelligence is of a different order to the other mammals on the planet. Some of them have self-awareness and awareness of other minds but they don't have language, and they don't have that curiousity about themselves and about the universe that drives us to create and discover.

speciesist!

maybe dolphins once had vast cities and rode in spaceships but noticed it was all a bit rubbish and renounced it all (this is sort of the douglas adams theory i think)

yeah, or were wise enough to never want it in the first place. duh, spaceships are AWESOME!

Now they know there's water on the moon, perhaps they'll be a bit keener on visiting?

I for one welcome etc

yeah well i've never heard of a dolphin composing a symphony, or a chimp passing gcse physics.

Symphony are good for what, exactly? Testing, also?

How do we know dolphins aren't cognizant of multiple physical dimensions, and spend all their time telepathically communicating with intelligent pan-dimensional entities that we will only discover with artificial intelligence in 2100?

woah dudes

also this moonwater business was the cover story of science magazine last week-

COVER Surface temperature map of the south polar region of the Moon acquired by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment. Blue and violet areas are intensely cold impact craters. The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) spacecraft struck one of these craters (near the center of the frame), revealing the presence of water ice and other frozen volatiles.
