Unrelated to the article, but WOW did anyone else see the giant full view height ad video at the top? I have ad blocker off for NatGeo. It's followed by a giant banner. I can't imagine how much crazier ads have been getting and most of us don't even notice 'cause we have ad blocker.

> From that point on, lunar water discoveries started gushing.

Edit: Just wait till the bottled water companies find out that moon water exists. (https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/08/18/maine-poland...).

What's more amazing is that they never learn. As if blasting us with more and more ads that take over your entire browser. Will somehow put everyone at ease. The advertising industry is the next big reboot on the web as far as I'm concerned.

Is the process of drilling for it less intensive than just making it from the soil?

I've always been more excited about a Moon colony than a Mars one. I mean, compared to Mars, the Moon is ridiculously close.

Many of the same benefits Musk seeks (backup for Civilization, excitement) for a fraction of the cost.

Low gravity and atmosphere on a dome would be more complicated, but again, compared to Mars, it's right there.

It would be a more humble and realistic first step, IMO.

The advertising industry's policy seems to be that the well is infinitely deep, and therefore no amount of shitting into it is too much.

This was last month. Another analysis this month by a different organization reached the opposite conclusion.

Maybe ads are getting more aggressive because we are all using ad blocker?
