Am I the only one who heard Bill Stone Sunday on NPR talk about excavating the lunar poles for ice. He talked about why cavers are the perfect people to do it.
See: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/bill_stone_explores_the_earth_and_space.html Bill Stone, a maverick cave explorer who has plumbed Earth’s deepest abysses, discusses his efforts to mine lunar ice for space fuel and to build an autonomous robot for studying Jupiter’s moon Europa. Even if you don't agree with him, he's got some great pics. Louise
