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.'"

    The water these missions have found is present in very small quantities. Extracting it would require a lot of energy.

    Unlimited energy is available on the moon.
    You can run a stirling engine indefinitely based on the temperature differential between sunlight/radioisotopes and shade.
    Alternatively, you could go solar.
    Weight is your only real limit.
