They detected the spectrographic signature of water. It may have been ice particles or water vapor.
Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of the Moon.

There are organisms on Earth that can survive in rather extreme environments (aptly named extremophiles) but these organisms probably only evolved after a "normal" organism got isolated in an extreme environment and was forced to adapt to its new surroundings

I really cant believe it took them this long to find it. After having man on the moon during the 60's and 70's now its 2009 and theyve just found this out???
Im no expert on any of the past moon missions, but surely if you were the boss you would have had those guys digging back in the 60's, or cetainly searched for it with some kind of probe.
Its great news, dont get me wrong. Just seems funny how its taken so long!

Nasa is a civilian space agency, though it does do some work for the military on a contractual basis. They have no interest in hiding or "classifying" any scientific knowledge for the sake of conspiracies etc. And why would they ?? They have to provide results or they'd have no way to justify their expenses!

surprise surprise Hasnt NASA been looking into and researching the moon how long and they didnt see it? it took Indias first time to the moon to find it, i feel like all these conspiracies about U.S drilling and mining the moon could hold some water, like what if they were bringing the water there.

I am no big expert on on propulsion engines but with the moons gravity being 1/6 of earths i would imagine that water when properly compressed can be used in internal combustion engines, So to take your theory further
the moon can be used as a staging post for lunar exploration...
Suck squeeze bang blow so to speak....
Apolz if posted earlier,
posted this on DJs thread thought it had relevance to your thread..
Cheers.

Thank you for the link for the phase diagram.
You say," probably only evolved after a "normal" organism got isolated in an extreme environment."
Is that the current theory?
If so, whats to suggest that this hasn't happened on the Moon under the ice?
Even if it's a plant based life, it's still life. I have seen pics of objects on the moon that look like trees. People suggest these objects are green. I am not saying I believe this.. I think we need better pictures of those objects. Granted if there is microscopic plant life under the ice it will not be plant life as we know it.
Mars is by far a much more hostile place than our moon and yet people speculate there could be life there if water is found.
I have seen a really clear picture of what looks to be an alien on the moon. I am trying to locate the place I saw the picture and try to identify exactly where the picture came from. Ice in the Moon can be melted in an aliens laboratory. (assuming aliens are real) This water can be used for fuel.
Check out Klien's HHO process www.hydrogencarsnow.com... and here too:hytechapps.com...
So whether there is life on the Moon currently or not it's possible that life can be sustained on the Moon. Of course there are other obstacles that need to be addresses like radiation and the lethal solar wind.
