Water on the moon

The moon has water on it. Lots of water, according to scientists.
"It's a thrilling discovery that sent a ripple of hope for a future astronaut outpost in a place that has always seemed barren and inhospitable," Anthony Colaprete said yesterday.

A NASA spacecraft that crashed into a crater, has photographed water on the moon.

"Indeed, yes, we found water, and we didn't find just a little bit, we found a significant amount," Colaprete said.
UPDATE:
It never ceases to amaze what science and technology can accomplish. Here's yet another amazing photo.
The first picture from NASA of water on Mars. Outstanding!
