There's Water in Them There Moon-Hills!

And if there's water, there's the chance of life.

No, not Moon-life. But if there is water on the moon, we don't need to space-truck all that heavy liquid up there, but instead can just put up the (much lighter) machines necessary for extracting it.

Which makes a Space: 1999 moon-base ball-park possible, if at least 40 years late.

Based on the measurements, the team estimated about 100 kilograms of water in the view of their instruments — the equivalent of about a dozen 2-gallon buckets — in the area of the impact crater (about 80 feet, or 20 meters across) and the ejecta blanket (about 60 to 80 meters across), Colaprete said.

"I'm pretty impressed by the amount of water we saw in our little 20-meter crater," Colaprete said.

"What's really exciting is we've only hit one spot. It's kind of like when you're drilling for oil. Once you find it one place, there's a greater chance you'll find more nearby," said Peter Schultz, professor of geological sciences at Brown University and a co-investigator on the LCROSS mission.

This water finding doesn't mean that the moon is wet by Earth's standards, but is likely wetter than some of the driest deserts on Earth, Colaprete said. And even this small amount is valuable to possible future missions, said Michael Wargo, chief lunar scientist for Exploration Systems at NASA Headquarters.

And so why would we go to the Moon and live there, anyway? I don't know. Seems cool. And in an Aasimov book (IIRC), all the sexual mores on Luna Colony totally lightened up, like gravity, so all the chicks walked around with their knockers hanging out.

So that's something, at least. Chicks walking around with their knockers floating around in .16 earth gravity, like bouyant sex-puddings.

We could probably also run some tests to see how spiders build webs in low-gravity, and other such make-work PR "experiments" suggested by children. That, and naked moon-jugs floating around rambunctiously like one of Kevin Bacon's space-socks, and I think we can secure funding.

On the plus side: Obama could spend $50 billion and actually be able to claim he really has created 50-100 jobs with our money. Gotta work better than the cash he's pissing away on earth.

Correction: Commenters say this sounds more like Heinlein in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and that sounds more right to me. I remember putting it down (blasphemy, I know!) because his loopy sexual-utopian stuff sounded frankly juvenile to me, and I was, like, 10 years old.

I just didn't get why, after spending a couple of years on the Moon, suddenly it would all be Haight-Ashbury meets Swedish Nudist Soft-Porn. I mean -- these people did remember earth, right? They didn't immediately forget their past 30 years of earthly upbringing upon landing on Luna Base, right?

The narrator was surprised to see that men and women donned bras and jockstraps to play one of those dumb games that always turns up in sci-fi -- some sort of very vague mix of jai-alai and basketball and, um, quidditch in low gravity -- and his female guide offered the explanation that "We have little modesty, but still, we do not want dangly things swinging about," which I guess I was supposed to take as titillating but honestly, even at ten, I felt pandered to.

Or maybe I felt it was "titillating" circa 1963, before technological advances brought us Benny Hill 6 hours a day on various non-network local channels. I mean, once you've seen Hill's Angels, reading about exposed lunatits just sort of leaves you cold.

So I think I put it down and read Conan in Beyond the Black River for the sixth time.

I don't know, wouldn't they eventually get accustomed to lighter gravity over time? Then if they visited earth, they'd probably sag like hell.

13 Hmmm... I thought maybe it was Heinlein.

I owned "The Gods Themselves" and read it, but from what I recall, it concerned an alternate universe which was pumping in an isotope forbidden by the laws our universe -- like Tungesten 238 or something, and that there was some kind of imbalance going on as we and these tri-sexual alt-universe aliens kept pumping exotic isotopes to each other.

Your missing that darker conservative society side again; of the economically deprived moon citizens, forced by their corporate masters to go into the water mines with nothing but a pick and a shovel and slave away mining ice for 18 hours a day only to sleep on a bed of hard moonrocks; all the while the fat cats just keep getting fatter, now able to carry six times the weight under the weaker moon gravity.

18 Lunar orbit is a lot easier to get into from the moon, than earth orbit is from earth.  With no atmosphere, a relatively simple rail gun can put smallish raw materials payloads up there, and another orbital one could send'em back on a trajectory to earth after orbital processing

In zero-G/microgravity you can make some pretty interesting materials that are essentially impossible to manufacture in a gravity well.

A federal judge sentenced ex-Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) on Friday to 13 years in prison, the longest incarceration ever ordered for a former Member of Congress.

The sentence falls short of the maximum 33 years federal prosecutors recommended in court documents. Jefferson’s attorneys recommended a term of no more than 10 years.

But first we'd have to find a reason.  This is the problem manned spaceflight suffers from in general - there just isn't anything you can do with a moon base you can't do more cheaply from the bottom of Earth's gravity well.  I hear a lot about H3, but if the goal is power, even assuming you can get H3-based fusion working, you could build gold-plated windmills across the pacific for less money.

Even if you wanted to use it as a stepping stone to Mars or wherever, putting expeditions together in LEO just makes more sense.

39 Heh, one passage from Clarke:  "Some women, Commander Norton had decided long ago, should not be allowed aboard ship; weightlessness did things to their breasts that were too damn distracting. It was bad enough when they were motionless; but when they started to move, and sympathetic vibrations set in, it was more than any warm-blooded male should be asked to take. He was quite sure that at least one serious space accident had been caused by acute crew distraction, after the transit of a well-upholstered lady officer through the control cabin."

40 I don't know who it was. Maybe Arthur C. Clarke.

One thing that bothered me about sci-fi as a kid is that it seemed these authors were very defensive about the charge made that there was no sex in their books, no real human sexuality to give the characters versimilitude, it was all gadgets and adventure and stuff.

And the problem I found is that these authors would *defensively* insert some sexuality into their books, and it always came across as forced at the best and risible at the worst.

43 I remember a line Tom Clancy inserted, I think, defensively, to prove he was an "adult writer" and not just writing boy's adventure books.

It was in clear and present danger. He was describing the Columbian-hired spy who seduced a secretary at the CIA (or DEA, or something) in order to then turn her into a spy and get information from her.

And the line he used, after their lovemaking (itself sort of awkwardly described), to describe the quiet calmness after sex, was "Silence was the greatest passion."

And, I don't know, I kind of laughed at that. It was so overwrought and lurid and Harold-Robbins-paperback. He was going into an area that wasn't his forte, defensively, maybe, and just not really doing it well.

Posted by: evil midnight bomber what bombs at midnight at November 13, 2009 06:35 PM (hCQG5)

46 I was horny as hell as a kid but both then and now -- while sex is high on most lists, if I'm looking at robots and cruising around on the Moon in a Lunajet 'n stuff, well, sex is going to go on hold for a while as I check out this other cool stuff. And so I guess I didn't even think the sex-stuff was really appropriate, because my idea of human nature was that boobies are great, but let's face it, if you're looking at THE RINGWORLD, you're not going to be noticing the boobies very much, at least for a while.

I guess the "for a while" thing is important. They were trying to show that this stuff was so common now that people went back to staring at boobies rather than the moonscape.

Eh, I guess that's true enough. But as a reader, well, I could look at playboy for boobies; I was going to these guys for the space-monkeys.



Posted by: ace at November 13, 2009 06:35 PM (jlvw3)

47 @ Ace #40

Heinlein's tales of sex were never "defensive insertions".  The guy was a total swingin' dick perv who only got more verbose as he got older.  The last 3-4 books in the Lazarus Long series are essentially paeans to and justification for incest.

Yeah, I just finished "The Cardinal of the Kremlin" a couple months ago and it had a few quick forays into the sexy time.  Including some stuff about a lesbian who has a secret crush on a female co-worker.  It was written very awkwardly and kinda made me blush a bit.  It put some weird thought in my head about what he must be like with his wife (assuming he's married I guess).

Haven't read that much Heinlein, but that sounds like one of his.  The sexual tension was good, but it was contrived:  ("Here's the part where I talk about sex...")  But it was good.  Make no mistake.  And I had a crush on that replicant-style enhanced woman who had been rendered very nicely on the cover.

ace, not sure if your aware of Asimov's Lecherous Limericks, but it contains about a hundred dirty limericks which he composed. Perhaps this was a way he could express some of the suppressed sexuality that didn't appear so much in his other literary works. Some of them are quite ribald, but heres a tamer one from the first book:

There was a sweet girl of DecaturWho went to sea on a freighter. She was screwed by the master-An utter disaster- But the crew all made up for it later.

not sure which one Ace is specifically referring to, but I noticed that several writers from that era would tend to go off on sexual tangents.  Spider Robinson, anyone?

I think the only Heinlien I've managed to finish was "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls."  Was pretty decent for a sci fi mystery, until about the last third or so of the book, then it just got so loopy and out there I barely finished it.

I've been told that Heinlien had a habit of writing several books at once.  At some point, he had some sort of 'condition' (like going nuts), and that several of the books in that time frame started good, then went totally off the wall.

Asimov was also quite the perv too.  An aquaintance of mine told me that she and her husband met him at a convention once, spoke with him for a while, and as he came in to give her a hug, reached up for a handful!

72 I just finished reading a hardcore tin-foil book called "Dark Mission" about NASA. Supposedly there's tons of cr@p on the moon and Mars, lotsa ruins and such. It's a long book and at the end, I decided the author was seeing things that weren't there about 70% of the time.

But... regarding that other 30% of the time... wow. Just wow.

For fun, google "ruins on the moon" or "ruins on Mars."

FYI, the backstory is that the government will not tell us about anything found on the moon or Mars, because we will be thrown into a panic like the "War of the Worlds" broadcast. So they are hiding it from us.  At least, that's the tinfoil version.

Orwell by 1940's standards was considered to be quite liberal, socialist even. 1984 was basically a warning to utopian socialists like himself how tyranny can corrupt even the most well intentioned of movements as far as he was concerned and turn them into dystopian nightmares.

By todays standards, like JFK, Orwell would be considered a neo-con.

The guy who had an apple drop on his head and became kinda famous, spent a lot of his time studying the Bible and calculating the exact date of the end of time. He figured 2060. Which is kinda strange. Then some famous 20th century economist, that every (D) uses to justify the govmint spending one hellofalot more money than it takes in, bought up his research papers. Which is even more strange.

77 That, and naked moon-jugs floating around rambunctiously like one of Kevin Bacon's space-socks, and I think we can secure funding.

Actually, long-term zero-g or low-g living would more probably lead to bone-loss, respiratory and circulatory problems (because fluid in zero-g pools in the center-of-mass), and probably the complete loss of breast tissue in women over time (tissue redistribution and loss of fatty tissue). People who live in space for a long period of time would probably be very thin and somewhat barrel-chested. The radiation exposure would probably play hell with cancer rates and birth defects unless some mitigating technology is found.

But I do like the zero-g bouncing-boobies, so I will tell science to fuck right off.

80 The book you're talking about sounds like Heinlein, but not The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, unless by the time I read that I'd already read enough Heinlein to automatically filter out all the groovy swingin'. I think it was quite a while before his "Wh.. Is this guy going to hump his neice?" period anyway. Loonie society was different from Earth society mainly because it was a penal colony. Men outnumbered women, and what government there was was more like prison guards, so most justice was carried out informally. So if there were topless women all over the place, it was probably supposed to show that they were held in such high regard that they know they're safe wherever they go, because anyone accosting them would be thrown out of an airlock. I think that's the book that "An armed society is a polite society" comes from. But I think the groovy naked moon basketball game is from something else.

Control the earth?  Hardly.  Nuclear weapons make all that kind of stuff sort of pointless from a cost/benefit perspective.

82 The narrator of Harsh Mistress is a native Loonie, as are almost all the main characters - conspirators in a rebellion against the Federated Nations of Earth. The first Earthworm who figures in the plot turns up halfway through, and he's a pretty unflappable guy.

87 And the line he used, after their lovemaking (itself sort of awkwardly described),

As a teen, I remember reading a bunch of Clancy novels, and actually noting the lack of sex. Then reading one (I can't remember which book it was) where sex suddenly shows up - Jack bangs his wife in a hotel (they're trying to conceive) - and the description was exactly like what Clancy would use to describe the function of a piece of machinery. Very peculiar.

I do wish Clancy would write something new though, even if the last few books sucked.

keep in mind the tof (time of flight). both the earth and the moon have plenty of time to see it coming.... but once again the cost of a rock verses a nuke is probably different. also a nuke impact on the moon is negligible from an environmental standpoint and might even loosen up enough debris to create an ad hoc missile shield...couple that with putting your launch system on the dark side...

98 Larry Bond and not Clancy was the prime mover behind Red Storm Rising (even though Clancy got cover-credit). Bond wrote some other good books in the following years under his own name (Cauldron being the best, about a second Korean war). Red Storm was largely based on a paper-based wargame called HARPOON that I used to play all the time.

And if you liked an alt-history where the US and Russia go toe-to-toe, Eric L. Harry wrote a great novel called Arc Light that describes a limited US-Russian nuclear exchange followed by an American invasion of Russia. That book was a surprise because I really wasn't expecting much, and it was so damned good I've been pushing it on people ever since. It's out of print now, alas, but you can still find used copies if you hunt around. Highly, highly recommended.

Posted by: Monty at November 13, 2009 09:16 PM (nTxjg)

99 Red Phoenix, not Cauldron. My bad. Cauldron was actually a silly book where France ends up going to war with America. It was really kind of dumb. Red Phoenix was good, though.

Arc Light was epic. I read that several years ago after finding it in the local library. Thanks for reminding me, I see Amazon has it listed, may go and purchase it. Definitely warrants another read.

Yeah... sure... if you don't consider your moon base in your cost calculations.  If you do, your rocks may as well be made out of bublejet printer ink for what they're gonna cost you.  You couldn't build such a base for less than, what, $100bn or so, and your ongoing costs would be enormous.  For the price I could build tens of thousands of nuclear-tipped ICBMs.

104 #89...oh, fuck both you guys, Monty beat me to it at #98.

Small bit of trivia. The first US soldier to die in Red Phoenix died in the Honor Guard Company's back guard shack at Hilltop House (the four-star's residence). I pulled my first ever shift in Honor Guard Company back there in August '99. My team leader thought he'd play fuck-around and try sneaking up on me and I fucking near put a pair of 9mm's in him.

Arc Light was good. Jack Henderson's Circumference of Darkness was much better. The old self-published iUniverse edition is better, but Jack is good people. Great book. When Bantam picked up the book, he changed the ending a bit to allow for a sequel, which he told me is underway. I recommend it to all AoSHQ readers.

I've been on a Tom Kratman and John Ringo rampage over the last year.

Clancy summed up the romantic difficulties in his writing with 'What the fuck do I know about sex? I'm a married Catholic." Too bad he couldn't get over his taste for young strange. His wife Wanda took his ass to the motherfucking cleaners, and rightfully so, for his cheating. They'd been married since he was still selling insurance for a living. I wrote a reader review on Amazon where I said he'd rushed the ending of Rainbow Six in order to make an alimony payment on time. The Bear And The Dragon was a lot better in concept, if not always execution. I can still read The Hunt For Red October and enjoy it.

105 Oh, and Heinlein. Yes, he and his wife apparently got polyamorous later in life. Ignore it. I do. I don't give a fuck about writers' love lives.

Heinlein's essentials for me: Starship Troopers, Glory Road, Fifth Column, and a lot of the essays on patriotism and survivalism (he was convinced we'd lose WWIII and we'd have to win WWIV with rocks and guerilla tactics) that are now only found in Expanded Universe.

I like a lot of Heinlein's books.  Yes, his later books have some of that "free love" stuff but that's never the emphasis of the books.  Frequent themes running through the stories are liberty for the individual and taking responsibility for your actions (per The Moon is a Harsh Mistress:  "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch").

Starship Troopers is my favorite.  He made an argument in that book that the right to vote was too important to be exercised by everyone.  People had to serve several years in the military and then, after discharge, became "citizens" with the ability to vote.  No public service equaled no vote.

I have to agree with Heinlein that universal suffrage is destructive to the Republic.  We have too many people voting for panderers promising freebies that have to be paid for somehow.

Finding water on the moon means we can colonize it.  When the Air Force sets up a bare base in an austere region, the only requirements are that it be flat enough for a runway and have a water source.  Water is heavy and expensive to fly in.  It's even more expensive to loft into space.  It costs $10,000 to lift one pound into orbit and water weighs six pounds per gallon.  You would need a train of water mules to hydrate a colony on a bone dry moon.

As for space colonies devolving into hippie communes full of free sex, it's not gonna happen.  Bonding off into pairs is a habit formed from millions of years of human evolution, proven to work.  It probably was established when humans first stood erect and began having sex in the missionary position.

The Oneida colony tried this free sex stuff a century ago, where any male could have sex with any female in the colony.  It turns out all the men were lining up to have sex with the best-looking women, who were doing triple duty testing the sexual freedom experiment.  The women soon put a kibosh on the sexual freedom and went back to old fashioned sexual pair bonding.  That whole alternate lifestyle experiment at Oneida died out.  Now all that's left of it is the Oneida silverware you buy at Macy's.  I suspect there are a lot of ruined geodesic domes scattered across America that can provide witness to the failure of the hippies to make sexual freedom work, which was a scam run by men to get sex from women without that pesky responsibility.

What else is the crew doing?  Watching entertainment programs, playing games (cribbage tournaments are likely to be popular), qualifying on different ship systems, getting required drills out of the way.  Still - there is a lot of time doing nothing, so - space-sex!
