The press conference did no harm and gave the public, who paid for the mission, exactly what they needed. Well, I have some residual concerns about the detection methodology, and I don't think anyone knows if the amount of water detected was useful for resource exploitation or just a scientific curiosity. I'd think the public deserves the answer to that basic question. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.

I think you all may find the comments of William Marshall of Ames Research Center, as published in the New York Times, interesting.
The Wet Side of the Moon I was particularly intrigued by the statement, "Almost as surprising as NASA's announcement is the lack of attention it has received." Neat graphic as well. |
