Unambiguous Evidence of Water On the Moon

Nethemas the Great writes "Information has leaked ahead of the scheduled NASA press conference tomorrow that we have found unambiguous evidence for water on the moon. From the article, 'Since man first touched the moon and brought pieces of it back to Earth, scientists have thought that the lunar surface was bone dry. But new observations from three different spacecraft have put this notion to rest with what has been called "unambiguous evidence" of water across the surface of the moon.'"

    Since Apollo expedition brought back petrified wood from the moon, water was abundant there many years ago.

    I hope that the Indians are able to establish a lunar colony; they certainly have the expertise.

    The casinos might take off, that's a business that will attract customers no matter where you build one. If they've gone and bought Rotary Rocket's intellectual property, the ATV is certainly the right shape too. But there are precious few bison up there...

    And here I was looking forward to eating a nice curry on the moon. I had the wrong Indians all along.

    Yeah, but good luck running your solar powered lunar water extraction system on a cloudy day.

    All your fantasies of hidden oceans and "water mining" won't change the fact that earth seems to be the only body in this system with anything more than sparse amounts of water and oxygen.
