My family and i were very proud to visit the atlas v and see our uncles name on it up close and to watch it take off as the last thing we have of uncle bobs. seeing the rocket take off was the most touching moment and im sure my uncle bob wouldve been happy. this mission to the moon is awesome. thanks again i would like to thank you for mentioning my uncles name.

Eugene Shoemaker (USGS) said back in 1972 upon examining the lunar samples that, "the moon is even drier than we thought". That means no H2O liquid, solid or gas. As long as we pay people to look for something that isn't there they will keep looking for it. While we all wish for the best of luck in our scientific research endeavors, it is perplexing how an approach to dubious research can unfold. Take for instance ice on Mars. What are the odds of sending a craft millions of miles to Mars, landing on the surface scraping back soil, and finding ice on THE VERY FIRST TRY? What are the odds? Zero. http://www.bccmeteorites.com/misconduct-planetary.html Are they still looking for ice on the lunar south pole?
