Moon bombing a bust

I knew the bombing of the moon was going to be one of the year's big flops, but the media has been trying to put a positive spin on it nonetheless.

When NASA used a missile to bore a 100-foot-wide crater in the moon last month, they acted like there was going to be a big Lake Huron hiding underground. But the bombing yielded only enough water to fill a large refrigerator - about 25 gallons.

More significantly, it's all ice or vapor. It's not even water in its liquid form!

This is little better than if they had only found poo-poo!

Think how difficult it's going to be to even get any more ice or water vapor. Is NASA just going to keep shelling the moon every time it wants a few gallons of moon ice? And what's going to happen once they use it all up?
