We’ve already found water on the moon and now scientists from India say they’ve found signs of life there as well. The instruments on their first unmanned lunar mission, Chandrayaan-1, picked up signs of carbon, the main building block of life, on parts of the moon’s surface, just before it crashed into the moon’s south pole in November.

Similar observations were made by the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, which brought soil and rock samples back to Earth, where scientists found traces of amino acids (another basic building block of life).

If we’re going to set up a base on the moon to mine Helium 3, it would be nice if there was water there, and it turns out there may be: Recent space probes have spotted dampness on the surface that they think may indicate buried ice near the poles of the moon, areas the Apollo astronauts didn’t visit.

Water can also be turned into a fuel that can be manufactured on the moon and will enable travel back and forth between the earth and its satellite. In BBC News, Jonathan Amos quotes a researcher Professor Taylor as saying, “If it is a little or a lot, it’s easy enough to split into hydrogen and oxygen and then you have rocket fuel.”

It’s like a bad dream: A piece of moon rock given to the Dutch Rijksmuseum in 1969 by the three Apollo astronauts has been revealed to be fossilized wood. This is certainly fuel for conspiracy theories!

James Carville has called it ‘the crazy test:’ Ask a person if we landed on the moon. If he says ‘no,’ he’s crazy.

But we don’t all agree, and Jay Weidner is among those who doesn’t. He does not believe that we landed on the moon during the Apollo missions. He believes that ‘the odds are, it’s all faked.’ However, Jay does NOT believe that we’ve never been to the moon, he believes that we’ve gone there, but not in a way that can be publicly known.

Agree or disagree, you will find this unusual interview fascinating.
