orh..either u blind..or my english dam lousy..
okay..incase u are too lazy..lemme point this out to u...
The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403
kilometers (238,857 miles). The Moon's diameter is 3,476 kilometres
(2,160 mi). Reflected sunlight from the Moon's surface
reaches Earth in 1.3 seconds (at the speed of
light).
The first man-made object to land on the Moon was Luna 2 in 1959,
the first photographs of the otherwise occluded far side of the
Moon were made by Luna 3 in the same year, and the first people to
land on the Moon came aboard Apollo 11 in 1969.
well..my bad about the no water part..just found out..there
is water... here..
Presence of water
Over time, comets and meteoroids continuously bombard the Moon.
Many of these objects are water-rich. Energy from sunlight splits
much of this water into its constituent elements hydrogen and
oxygen, both of which usually fly off into space immediately.
However, it has been hypothesized that significant traces of water
remain on the Moon, either on the surface, or embedded within the
crust. The results of the Clementine mission suggested that small,
frozen pockets of water ice (remnants of water-rich comet impacts)
may be embedded unmelted in the permanently shadowed regions of the
lunar crust. Although the pockets are thought to be small, the
overall amount of water was suggested to be quite significant 1
km³.
Some water molecules, however, may have literally hopped along the
surface and become trapped inside craters at the lunar poles. Due
to the very slight "tilt" of the Moon's axis, only 1.5°, some of
these deep craters never receive any light from the Sun they are
permanently shadowed. Clementine has mapped[9] craters at the lunar
south pole[10] which are shadowed in this way. It is in such
craters that scientists expect to find frozen water if it is there
at all. If found, water ice could be mined and then split into
hydrogen and oxygen by solar panel-equipped electric power stations
or a nuclear generator. The presence of usable quantities of water
on the Moon would be an important factor in rendering lunar
habitation cost-effective, since transporting water (or hydrogen
and oxygen) from Earth would be prohibitively expensive.
