This is an amazing discovery. Can't wait to see what Patrick Moore says about it, as he's always held the opinion none would really exist there.

Everybody is worried about water on mars and they didn't even realize it was on the moon?:confused:

But everyone knows that the moon is made of cheese....

Congrats to the subcontinent on their probes findings. I wonder if NASA was scrambling to get press for their 'double whammy (http://forum.homepageofthedead.com/showthread.php?t=14723)' because they thought India might 'scoop' them on their findings.

Now they have to alter the background log on Mass Effect. :D

But yeah, interesting find.

Judging from some news reports I've read in recent months, we may need it.

I believe Purge is referring to our possible need to colonize the moon.

no he is more likely refering to the
growing shortage of fresh water on this planet
for an increasing population.

nearly 1.1 billion people (about 20% of the worlds
population) lacks clean drinking water.
