It's also possible there are higher concentrations of it deeper in the surface, but even at the low levels they detected, it could have a major impact on long term stays there.

It would be interesting to see how long it would take to see a colony established on the moon....perhaps sooner with the find of Ice on the moon.

Might be fun to run a pipe line from an alchohol filled nebula to the moon and turn it into the biggest bar in the universe.:P:P:P:P

Now alchohol mining in the game might be interesting.
