Today, on this lovely Friday the 13th, NASA has come out and said there is a significant amount of water on the Moon. It’s already been a fairly interesting year for those interested in space and the stars, seems like every week more and more amazing pictures of the stars are being released.

Getting back to the whole water on the Moon thing. It’s a pretty significant find becase it would make the creation of permanent Moon colony that much easier. Water is the foudation of life and with that in place, everything else will be slightly less complicated. A Moon colony, considering where we’ve come technology wise, is something I don’t under why we haven’t pursued.

One thing that’s been bugging me about this whole water on the Moon business. Is how it’s something that was predicted by UFO conspiracy theorist William Cooper. William Cooper was a US Naval Intelligence officer who wrote a book called “Behold A Pale Horse” where he discusses a wide variety of conspiracy theories and claims to have inside knowledge on a lot of things. It’s a book I’ve had for years, but never bothered to read until a couple of months ago. In the book William Cooper claimed there was water on the Moon and even a slight atmosphere. I don’t put much stock on the book or on William Cooper’s theories but still it’s a bit strange that just months after reading his book NASA announces having food water on the Moon.
