A whole 25 gallons of water after we slammed 2 tons of spacecraft into it at full speed. Wowzers. I'm glad they found water but its still a huge up hill sales proposal to justify a base on the Moon. The Moon is utterly devoid of most needed materials since it never had a full geological experience that the Earth and Mars under went. The fact remains that to keep a base going on the Moon we will have to ship and keep shipping supplies from Earth. Mars on the other hand has every last thing a manned base would need in abundance. How about we do the easier mission (Mars) first and then try to tackle the more difficult mission (Moon).

Also, the moon has 1/50 of the science potential as a mission to Mars would have. Mars has and had a climate, under went similar geological events, had oceans, could have supported life at one point, and gives us a launching off point for exploring and mining the asteroid belt.

Besides, any equipment designed for Mars would be able to be used for a later Moon mission. Moon equipment (habs and what not) could not be used for a Mars mission. My vote is we do something new instead of going back and re-accomplishing what we did 40 years ago.

Yep. The only people with guns on military bases are the Military police, civilian cops (like in this case), and those troops that are on exercises. Everyone else is not allowed to carry.

Wrong. Logic fails you. If you don't want a gun, don't get one. Done.

I know the FBI and Army are still investigating what happened at Ft. Hood but the picture seems pretty clear that this was a Terrorist attack by one of our own soldiers. The other thing to make note of here is that this was yet another mass shooting spree in a GUN-FREE ZONE. Don't blame the guns, as they are inanimate objects. The blame lays squarely on the demented operators and horrible government policies that leave good citizens defenseless targets.

If sick twisted people can figure out that Gun-free zones are the safest places to hid, then why can't everyday normal people also clue in on this problem of bad policy?

If he will not lead as Commander in Chief, be it an increase in troops or bringing our troops home, then he must resign.

Playing golf and throwing parties at the White House while our boys get slaughtered in a pointless fight 5,000+ miles away from our shores is unacceptable.

This is not hard. Either bring our troops home or send every last soldier in our military has over there and end this stupid war now!

Sure we need some back home to maintain our defenses but if this war is truly worth fighting then we shouldn't just sprinkle a few troops here and a couple more there. If this is even worth doing then we need to ship every last person available soldiers over there right now and turn over every last stone in search of Bin Laden.

If Obama isn't willing to do that, then he needs to pack it all up and come home. We are wasting our solders lives and money Americans simply don't have to spend on this stupid stupid war.
