Thought recreating some of the old posts about new technologies and scientific discoveries might be helpful. If not I guess the post can fade away.

Here is an article about today's announcement about water on the moon. I will let you decide how it will drain into your stories.

Isn't the LCROSS an amazing machine. And I thought the ATHLETE's were cool. This thing makes Spirit and Discovery look like toys.

I think it is interesting how much of space exploration is privately funded now.

Not exactly water on the moon, but this link was pointed out to a few people by James Gunn, and I thought I'd let you all know about it, too (if you click on it, it will open a PDF file):

The thing about PDF files is that you can left-click on the link to open the file, but if you right-click on the link, you get a list of options, one of which is Save Target As... and if you select that option, you can save the PDF file to your computer, for future reference.
