NASA's site says "The main LCROSS mission objective is to confirm the presence or absence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater near a lunar polar region."
Why would the inhabitants of a planet that's surface is covered by 70% water need to search for water on the Moon? Well it must be for future Lunar colonization of course! Why didn't NASA just say so?! That doesn't sound crazy at all! The economy is so fantastic right now, why not use the extra money to drop a bomb on the Moon. In fact (true story) when I was filling out my taxes last spring, I said to myself, "Man I hope they use my money to drop a bomb on the Moon that will find water so I can live there." Unfortunately because the cost of living on the Moon will be so high, I'm going to need to get a sub-prime mortgage on my Moon house. Brother, can you spare a Moonbuck?
But I feel like the only REAL reason they want to find water on the Moon is to have more challenging hazards when they're golfing. If you remember, they stopped going to the Moon in the 70's because they were sick of having only sand traps on their golf courses. To this day, the Apollo program remains the most exclusive country club in the Universe.
“Hey Kanye West, it’s Jay Leno. Could you do me a favor this Sunday on the VMAS? Well could you act like an asshole and start some sort of fake controversy again? Taylor who? Listen I don’t give a shit who the controversy is with just make sure it gets on CNN. I really need younger viewers to watch my NEW show on Monday, and everyone is going to LOVE to hear your bumbling apology. You can cry about it and I'll mention your dead mom for sympathy. My ratings go up, you get to promote yourself, and everybody wins! Thanks, Kanye! See you Monday!”
