This is still NOT proven and in fact, there is evidence there is little =
or not water on the Moon. When they crashed Clementine into a shadowed =
crater thought to have water ice, none was seen in the debris.

The ISS is fragile and not really a great place to work. Microgravity is =
very difficult to work in. The Moon would be a much better place and =
much easier to work in and leave out from. Besides, we need to learn to =
work on the surface of another planet and the Moon would be a great =
place to do just that.

  Hi John, From what I understood from awhile back, the ice that is on =
the moons poles(?) would save them a lot of water hauling from earth. =
With the escape velocity so much less on the Moon, they would have an =
easier time launching a rocket full of water (for drinking and such) on =
the way to mars from there as opposed to the Earth.
  Thanks, Tom

    As there are quite a few space savvy folks on this list....just =
asking a question pertaining to Bush's speech.

    He said the moon was the logical place to initiate space exploration =
missions. Yet the moon has harsh environmental challenges.....and it =
seems those challenges are less on Mars. Only the distance is a =
problem. =20

    It would seem to me that a space station orbiting Earth would be the =
better place to initiate trips to Mars and beyond?

    John
