Yes, it's apparently so easy they don't even have to do it!

I think we should move the entire Vatican to some other place, if there's anyone who wants them.

Someone correct me if I haven't got the straight skinny on this -- I haven't been paying very close attention -- but aren't the Italians involved in the EU's space efforts?
They're one of the big contributors to the ESA (which isn't an agency under the EU, for good or bad) and I'm sure there have been Italian astronauts in space. In a few years I hope that ESA will achieve independent manned space access after building the Kliper together with Russia and possibly Japan. |

Italian astronaut baffoon swindles us like craps!!

He may be ESA's youngest astronaut but Roberto Vittori's military training and flying experience have prepared him well for his mission to the International Space Station.

Hubble Prospects For Resources on The Moon
America has always been a land of pioneers, from the first settlers to those who moved west in the 1800s. As they started their new lives in new places, these men and women had to learn to live off of the land.
Now, the U.S. is planning another pioneering journey, this time to the moon and beyond. To prepare, NASA scientists are using the Hubble Space Telescope to hunt for resources, such as oxygen, that are essential for people to survive and to sustain their existence on the lunar surface. Hubble's preliminary observations and results are promising.
Oxygen on the lunar surface?
NASA buffoons are incredible swindlers: "resources, such as oxygen, that are essential for people to survive and to sustain their existence on the lunar surface".
Lunar surface is really a good place where NASA buffoons could live, they could cultivate pop corn directly with the heat of the sun.

If there is water ice on the moon, and there have been some indications of it, then there is oxygen.

That is in the lunar surface, not on. Read further into the artical please.
And why not get oxygen from the rocks? If there is a way to do it easly on the moon surface, then that would be the first step to "living off the land" and cut down on expensive supply trips from earth. In this case, literaly breathing in the land. |

Hey quad-b, how about this one:
quote:
Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station
Winter's cold, spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, satellite
Satellite headlines read
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more, tell me more
Who's the king of your satellite castle?
Winter's cold, spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Rest high above the clouds; no restriction
Television we bounce 'round the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes
-Dave Matthews, Satellite
Buon, no? |

Very well, your astronauts will be able to breathe deeply water ice and lunar surface seems very fertile and fruitful.
Who knows? Maybe there are Indians too.
