[extropy-chat] The bone-dry Moon (was: Art projects on the moon)

[Amara Graps]

As an aside to the Art Projects on the Moon post,

if you hear a space agency (NASA, ESA, ASI, ...) official
say that we can use the resources on the Moon such as WATER for our
lunar bases, then call him on it. Few planetary scientists believe that
there is water on the Moon to use (and it is significant that no
subsequent mission has confirmed Clementine's findings).

The background to that story is here:
