And all you need to get a big ol’ catapult to the moon is a honkin’ great rocket… 
Safer just to wait for the Space Escalator.

Hmm. Further investigation is warranted. Provided we can secure a team of programmers and Kevin Spacey, plans should be put forward to dispatch Sam Rockwell within the next decade.

LunarPlexus would be an excellent name for a moon bar. Would you sell moonshine there?
M-O-O-N, that spells water.

I guess that would depend on whether or not the revenooers set up shop up there.

Well it’s not that new, just that the reading aren’t restricted to dark places in polar craters. The idea is that the stream of solar protons impacting the regolith bind themselves to oxygen atoms. Ideally you get H[sub]2[/sub]O but you can also get HOx where x is whatever the oxygen is already bound to.
