International Lisp Conference 2009

NASA recently confirmed the presence of water on the moon, or rather that there were ice particles on the moon. Already, people are wondering about moon water – or maybe establishing the first brewery in space. The idea of drinking moon water is really stupid. Let me explain something – because the moon has no atmosphere, that means it is constantly bombarded with every kind of radiation in space, gamma rays, X rays, you name it. So if someone were to harvest the water on the moon, bottle it or make it into beer or soda, and you were dumb enough to go to a money lender to buy some, as soon as you're done quenching your thirst you'd lose a kidney.
