1st comment clearly has to be answered. who is on the moon ? either tell us or land astronauts who aren't gonna cover up what they see.

we need to visit the moon to answer questions once and for all. who is on the moon ? there is something going on up there, and i would like to know what? we need a base on the moon , and it would be cheaper to launch ships from there to mars or elsewhere. i want to know if there was something or someone alien that use to or still does live on the moon. it's like bypassing africa to go to asia . why haven't we been to the moon ?

The ISS should be powered and lifted to a higher orbit and become permanent for manufacturing space vehicles and other exotic materials that can only be done in space. Remember those astronauts who died by keeping the ISS alive.

from the lookof things, I dont beleive Nasa has found any water at the south pole of the water. I frist suspected this form the no show of the big plume which we all expected but saw shown over the internet by animated images.
Secondly , the lenght of time Nasa is taking to analysed the result is even more suspicous. Why if the plume had in water or oxygen and hydrogen molocule like we were told to expect, then it would not take the prodes data collected weeks to be deduced ,but rather minutes.
I some how belive Nasa moon mission of late was more than a big failure, but which the excepted bad news to be deleivered, I think the whole manned return mission to the moon might now be in serious qusetion.
The russian have taken the correct step in looking at building a nuclear power space craft for a mars trips and the soon to introduce orbital transfer vehilces.
These type of vehiches IF POWERED BY ION engine or nuclear power would help build a space infrustructure necesary to maintain an economical space activity.
Nasa need s to look at the concept of way-stations i.e in high orbit around the earth. ,in orbit around the moon , and at distance points beween mars and earth and even the astroid belt,

please send to my mail about the life on the moon and what indian scientists have discovered and wether water and air available on the moon or not and if life is available on moon what would be the condition of the world?. I think that land on moon was being sold and what is the cost of an acre on moon?

One of Mar's moons would be pretty interesting to check out. But if it were to come down to it then an astroid would have to work as long as the rocket doesnt throw off the astroids axis and run into earth. Yeah, I watch a lot of cartoons.
