Preliminary data, uncovered after NASA sent two spacecraft crashing into the lunar surface last month, indicated the discovery of some two-dozen gallons of water in a permanently shadowed lunar crater.

"Yes indeed we found water and we did not find only a little bit but a significant amount," said Anthony Colaprete, project scientist and principal investigator for the 79-million-dollar LCROSS mission.

"In the 20- to 30-meter (66- to 100-foot) crater we found maybe about a dozen, at least, two-gallon buckets of water. This is an initial result," Colaprete told reporters.

Same, it wouldn't be the same if all the Cowboys went to the moon instead of Mars.

lol true, but when water is starting to dissappear here on earth, you might want to rethink...

Imagine living on the moon in near future.

This is amazing. The kids who live in the year 2500 are gonna take field trips to the moon

No... They are going to take field trips to earth...

it would be fun to live on the moon... with the difference in gravity and stuff

What "fun" will there be except the gravity difference since you could probably get a gravity difference here on earth if you have money...

We will all be gone by the time that happens so id rather not start paying the $4 for a bottle now.

Just my .02

The significane of water on the moon means that it has the potential for an atmosphere!

Evians going to make a plant to get water out of two dozen gallons?

[Backslash]

I was on CNN at school because I was bored, And I saw this article. Wonder how long itll take before we see houses there.

But it's going to take something that will recieve sunlight first. The water needs to be exposed to the sun. Then millions of years later, bacteria will form, then blue algae will start to grow, then millions of years later, atmosphere.

Anyone willing to wait about a billion or so years for that to happen?

The moon has an atmosphere. Offgassing & sputtering from micrometeorites help contribute to that. However, it just happens to be like 1 x 10^-15 times the density of Earth's =P

No... They are going to take field trips to earth...

Haha that's thinking outside the box ;P

Or the fact that we are doomed...

Okay. I'll correct it. "Potential for earth-like atmosphere"
