A couple weeks ago a small amount of water was found on the moon. This exciting new discovery inspired scientists and organizations all over the world, to conduct new experiments that would lead to the finding of more water or possibly a living species ont the moon.



NASA is the first to take action and have decided to crash two probes into the moon. This will remove the first layer of the moon's surface so we can see if their is any water beneath the ground



This experiment will cost millions in tax dollars for american citizens and most people will ask, is it really worth it? What if water isnt even found on the moon then all that money and effort will be a waste. And if water is found on the moon, how will this effect us? Won't it just encourage Obama to spend more money for research on the moon when the country is trillions of dollars in debt without blowing huge amounts of money on space projects?

Personally, I think that the discovery of an amount of water on the moon is huge, but at the moment, I think there are more important things to spend money on, or maybe just not spending money, and pay back our trillion dollar debt. Our country has an extremely low employment rate, so instead of putting millions of dollars into trying to find water on the moon, we should spend money on creating more jobs for americans, which more directly effecs the majority of the country. I think we should save the water-on-moon project for a time when money isn't as tight. Or, if scientists push to do the project right now, they should do it with NASA's money instead of peoples tax dollars. I highly doubt that people would want their money spent on trying to find water on the moon at the moment.
