I assisted in the design change for the catbed sensor's on that vehicle 
Stop making yourself seem smart
So they discover water on the moon. Now what?

There was supposed to be a 10 kilometer debris plume visible at 300+ power, but I didn't see anything. Apparently neither did anyone else, including live NASA TV feed.

The US is planning to establish a permanent base on the moon. It will require a water supply. Also, oxygen can be extracted from water for breathable air supply and hydrogen can be extracted from water to produce onsite rocket fuel.
There are several people in OT that I'd like to nominate to send to this new space colony. I'm crossing my fingers they haven't found any WiFi signals there yet.

QUESTION!
Does this rocket include sensory equipment, or are we just firing off missles at planets that create 10km wide craters and we use visual techniques to see wud up?
I'm hoping it's the second thing I said, 'cause I think it would be awesome to think we're that unscientific. Like throwing a huge rock at a window to see what type of glass it is made of. Awesome.
