Comet Wrangling

Would it be practical for N.A.S.A. or space entrepreneurs to intercept comets with their abundance of frozen water and redirect their course to a lunar orbit for the purpose of providing a water resource to early colonizers of the Earth's moon?

Some studies have been researched to suggest that various forms of extraterretrial body intercept technologies should be developed to forestall another planetary impact of a life on Earth ending asteroid or very large meteor. The ion engines and other parameters considered might as well be adapted to regular water supply provisioning and have ongoing value instead of being simply mothballed as a potential emergency tool. In ongoing use the comet and asteroid moving technology could evolve in efficiency through practical application.

In the beginning God said let their be light, and their was light. Of course it might have taken several billion years which were to God as a day figuratively speaking before human eyeballs could evolve to process incoming photons via a chemical reaction in the retina through bionerve pathways into images and forms in the brain of phenomenalities of the 'outside' world. In the meantime the most abundant element in the Universe formed-hydrogen, as well as other elements through star formations and nuclear reactions following the coalessence of waveform particles through gravitational force and pressure. Water (H20) was eventually abundant, and the water was divided from the heavens and the Earth eventually...after enough material swirled into compaction to form a planet such as the Earth, enough water fell to Earth's surface from 'the heavens' to permit an oceanic slosh of water to accumulate. Water ice is still plentiful in 'the heavens'.

Heaven of course may be different things at different times to different people in different languages and cultural contexts. Freedom is free, or svaboda as those clever Russian rocket scientists might say, yet interpreting natural history and finding present technologies than can advance space exploration toward the future can be a tedious process requiring much inventiveness and liberal determination.

The heaven that God has for-himself...that is,not the one that people think of as space but the one that is the pure realm of potential and actual forms expressed by the infinetly creative will of God, is a difficult concept for humanity to comprehend sometimes, yet emulating the infinite goodness of God so far as anyone can comprehend even a bit of anything about the creator all everything, is worth doing in creative technological research.

Rounding up a fair water supply for future lunar colonization should be an affoirdable and useful project for those interested in moving beyond the exploitation, war and pollution contexts.
