That's pretty cool. Pretty significant, too. Whether or not the ethics/honesty of NASA is questionable, at least they are publicly acknowledging the existence of fairly large quantities of water on the Moon.

Off Topic: Hey buddhasystem, is your avatar a 4D "hyper" cube? Tesseract? Don't bash me for my ignorance, but I think I saw that image somewhere a long time ago when I was trying to learn about extra spacial dimensions. Just wondering if that's what it is supposed to be.

Soooo Mister rational thinking.
Do you think it is normal for human to get more precise pictures of things very very far away than our own satellite ? Than in the last 40 years they were unable to buy a single camera in order to provide us with picture or videos where you can actually SEE something ?
Did you watch the live stream about the LCROSS crash ? Even the guy who talked at the end of it didnt know what he saw.
When all will be finally revealed (i hope so) a lot of people will just fall of their chair. But thats just my opinion. As a stupid guy right?

There was a lot of data gathered by LCROSS. We're going to be learning more details about some things we've known about and suspected for a long time, as well as some stuff that was never thought of.

"The full understanding of the LCROSS data may take some time. The data is that rich," said Colaprete. "Along with the water in Cabeus, there are hints of other intriguing substances. The permanently shadowed regions of the moon are truly cold traps, collecting and preserving material over billions of years."

Here's the best image yet of the impact plume:

Here's an image of the crater left by the Centaur:

You understand that the instrument on the Indian spacecraft, the one that detected evidence of water, was provided and operated by NASA. Right?

you also must understand that this was India first crack at it, which left lil confidence for these guys thru NASA's eyes, also, you must understand that it wasnt provided to India for free and that we are in a recession. ANYTHING for a quick buck!

Just about any mission in space is in someway associated to NASA.

It's not about who has the info as much as it is "Who talks" about the info.

Actually, it was provided at no cost. The M3 instrument rode along as a "Mission of Opportunity", of benefit to both NASA and IRSO.

The participation by M3 on the Chandrayaan-1 Mission is on a "no-exchange-of-funds" basis.

Um... Wasn't the press conference about the M3 findings presented by NASA? NASA both had and "talked about" the info.
