“It’s extremely dubious on its face and vastly more expensive than they think or are telling anyone,” Deudney said. “It strikes me as an insane use of dollar resources to squeeze a little water out of these craters. We are facing growing droughts from climate change here on Earth.”

Yikes, what a moron. Does anybody really believe they want to get water on the moon to relieve drought on earth? That’s just stupid. The water on the moon is to be used for rocket fuel and as such it will be extremely valuable because lifting anything out of earth’s gravity well is so expensive.

It’s all posturing.
