Nice find, OP! S+F!!!!
wonder what'll happen next, the feds actually following the Freedom to Information Act and disclosing alien encouters to us commoners?

mere speculation of course.

There has been 5 lunar orbiter missions from 1966-1967 which photographed 99% of the moon, as well as the clementine mission which orbited the moon 360 times and took over one million high resolution photographs in 1994. NASA expects me to believe that all previous findings were just photos of moon rocks, craters and space dust?!

Wow this could be interesting

From what I recall about the BBC report I heard on this story, the water found isn't the visible type you might see in patches of frozen ice, but was found to be pretty much all over the moon, traces of dried up water in rock and stuff like that. I suppose what they meant was riverbeds and so on but I'm not sure.

Water on the Moon and plans to build bases there;
i wonder if this disclosure has anything to do with the photo i posted,
of a base on the moon
with a water-way
and a dam
next to a gigantic statue

Dried up water? That's funny... Dried up water? I suppose all they really mean is that some hydrogen is bonded to some oxygen - hard to imagine how it stays there though with no atmosphere (well none to speak of, there would be a ridiculously thin one)
