Moon Has 100 Times More Water, New Study Suggests

...are they really looking for water or just gold?

Hmmm. First they say our Moon is barren. Then they say maybe a tiny amount of ice. Then lots of ice. Then 100 times more water than thought before.

At this rate they'll soon announce that the Lunar maria are really seas after all!

Anybody want to invest in my new Lunar Jet Ski business?

First 10 takers get a free fifth of Selene Whiskey made with pure moon spring water.

That's just how science works:

Make a theory based on available evidence, check/measure collect more data, adjust theory to cover new data, check, adjust theory to cover new evidence, continue for ever.

It's not a fault with the scientific method it's the great strength.

Compare it with the alternatives - Make a theory, kill all doubters, stop

It wasn't meant to be taken as a condemnation of the scientific method.

Rather it was to be taken merely as a commentary on the dramatic and rapid developments in mankind's knowledge about Earth's closest natural celestial object, presented with phrasing specifically selected to to elicit accompanying responses in a complex and intertwining variety of commonly-held human emotive states - including (but not remotely limited to) doubt, introspection to resolve an absurdity, anxiety due to change, pleasures associated with prior flavor experiences and also with ehtyl alcohol intoxication, appeal of cleanliness and a satisfaction from conclusive consideration. All together intended to fall together into a loosely-defined emotive envelope of "humor".

In short, it was a joke son. Lighten up, why not already?

Ahh, a joke. (I say as I forcibly apply my palm to my forehead)

Sorry, I'm a bit touchy as some anti-science types run a continual slur campaign to cast doubt on the whole "science" process.

I've seen an argument that goes: They don't even know Pi exactly. Therefore all maths is suspect, Therefore everything those "experts" say is suspect. Therefore my loony idea is just as valid, After all it's just a theory.
