Paul Spudis of the Lunar and Planetary Institute and Rice University said the water signal is "an amazing discovery" because all of the data gathered in the Apollo Man-on-the-Moon program indicated that the moon was totally parched.
Spudis said signals from one pass over the lunar south pole bore the signature that earlier studies had shown is caused generally by ice.
Spudis said the water could then be split into oxygen and hydrogen, which is a basic rocket fuel.

Dr Paul Spudis is one of the preeminent lunar geologists today and in his book he makes an eloquent argument for the importance of continuing manned exploration of the moon which ended with the return of Apollo 17 in December 1972.
Spudis says the theory is so broad that it is used to explain away inconvenient data of which he provides examples.
Finally, Spudis makes an eloquent plea for the continuation of manned exploration of space pointing out that it is not enough to use robot spacecraft, but only man himself, on the spot, can really understand and analyze what is being seen firsthand, as well as having the ability to overcome unforeseen problems and malfunctions.

Spudis, a lunar scientist and deputy director of the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) in Houston, Texas, sees a piloted lunar program as NASA's best hope for regaining lost glories.
In keeping with his 1997 presentation [read], Spudis points to the lunar south pole as a particularly desirable location for exploration and development.
Spudis' lunar transportation system generally resembles the one proposed by Michael Duke (Spudis' colleague at LPI) in 1997 [read], except that it uses the Earth-moon L-1 point as its staging area.

Such deeply shaded areas of the moon drop to temperatures near minus 380 degrees F, causing water to remain locked in the lunar soil for millions of years, Spudis said.

My objection to the Spudis comments (as they have been reported) is the apparent thought that Mars must be put on the back burner in order to comform to the Vision.
Spudis is simply pointing out that some at NASA are subverting the president's vision, which is not to make Mars the highest priority, much as some would like that, particularly among Bob Zubrin's koolaid drinkers.

For Paul Spudis, a geologist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) in Houston, Texas, the Earth's Moon is the ideal setting for the first colony.
It is a natural laboratory for planetary science, a place to observe the Universe, a source of materials and energy, and a place to learn to live and work in space, he suggested.
Spudis said that the federal government does have a role in getting America back to the Moon and getting to Mars.

 The Space Review: Is the vision losing focus?
Aldridge Commission member Paul Spudis warned that NASA is misinterpreting, perhaps deliberately, elements of the President’s vision.
Spudis, who specializes in lunar research, said at the Space Frontier Foundation’s Return to the Moon conference in Las Vegas earlier this month that while he believed it was important to obtain the kinds of data LRO is designed to collect, it is not the best way to run that mission.
Spudis, for example, noted that unnamed NASA officials have suggested doing a “touch-and-go” on the Moon, landing humans there for a minimum amount of time before turning the agency’s attention on to Mars.

 PSR Discoveries: Hot Idea: Ice on the Moon
However, the lunar surface is bombarded with water-rich objects such as comets, and scientists have suspected that some of the water in these objects could migrate to permanently dark areas at the lunar poles, perhaps accumulating to useable quantities.
Analysis of data returned from a radio-wave experiment performed in 1994 while the Clementine spacecraft was orbiting the Moon reveals that deposits of ice exist in permanently dark regions near the south pole of the Moon.

Outside analysts say NASA is hesitant to draft detailed plans for follow-on flights — missions key to President Bush's plan to return astronauts to the moon —; until the election is over.
But Spudis, a lunar geologist who was deputy science team leader for the Clementine mission, said robots would pave the way for human expeditions in a step-by-step fashion.
The aim: develop and deliver the systems that would enable astronauts to use the moon's natural resources to survive on the lunar surface, significantly reducing the need to launch costly resupply missions from Earth.
