With the crash of the spacecraft LCROSS on the moon's crater Cabeus, and a new try to find water on the Moon, NASA finally is going ahead with the future exploration of the moon and hopefully the program to reach Mars.

It was a fantastic site and one that remind me 40 years ago of the excitement of the first moon landing by man.

 

If for some reason water is not found in sufficient quantity to be extracted from the moon soil, I hope that does not discourage our politicians and NASA people to continue with the moon exploration and what it means to be a spring board to Mars.

Science and progress cannot be stopped, if that was the case we probably would be living on caves.

I just hope that NASA knows how to use the tax payers money wisely.
