I found this link after about 5 minutes of searching...

Nice article. Only read the prelude and scimmed the material. Wonder who is the owner of the domain?
And if it's so important, where is the drive to expand the program. Surely there is a politician out there or an interest group who would try to lobby for more NASA funding?
And Once again, I'm not comparing the NASA budget to the National!!!!!! If this thread were about that, NASA would be very far down my list, believe me. THIS thread is about Moonwater.
But again, I believe what I believe, and I've seen no convincing things in this thread to make me believe we need public money to be spent on MUCH of NASA.
So you guys really believe it's better to invent things by a 'spinoff' or accident? No way.
