A New World

When the two liter amount of water was found on the moon a wave of commotion was sent throughout the NASA community, and the world. NASA's workers scrambled to find ways to back up this new discovery.





They decided to launch two spacecrafts into the moon's south pole. This was supposed to help scientists discover if there was more water on the moon or not. After reading the article NASA Crashes Probes Into Moon I think that this is a great idea.

Let's say they do find water on the moon, this could open up thousands of jobs for people in U.S. If there is water, than we could actually set up stations on the moon where people could maybe live for a little bit, or at least get closer to completing this goal. The whole idea of water on the moon opens up so many new doors, such as finding extraterrestrial life, and other things like that. This discovery is a huge milestone for science. For a very long time we thought it was amazing that there used to be water on Mars, but now, there may actually be a moon that has water now currently.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if it's right to be using people's tax dollars for this. If people had a choice on what their money was spent on, I don't think that a lot of people would even consider research on the moon to be one of them. Many people would want their tax dollars to be put toward other things that would affect them.

The government should have put off this study until after they were sure that the United States was out of the recession. This way people would have more money for taxes and be more willing to give the government this tax money for the research.

Finding water on the moon could lead to a whole new world in science and life. It would change life on earth and outside of earth. It could lead to new discoveries on the moon, and maybe even the discovery of life.

If we found life on the moon we could study the life for years and find out a lot about other species in the universe. The discovery of life could lead to more discoveries of life in other places around the universe. There could be life found on many other planets because we could use the same method of finding water as we did on the moon. This would create a major change in the world.
