'Much more water' found in lunar rocks

'Much more water' found in lunar rocks

news.bbc.co.uk

A US-led team analysed the mineral apatite in lunar rocks picked up by the Apollo space missions and in a lunar meteorite found in North Africa.

The scientists found that there was at least 100 times more water in the Moon's minerals than they had previously believed.

So, first there was absolutely no water.

Then, we found out there was some water in primitive form.

Then, Chandrayaan-1 said there was more.

Now this story from the BBC.

My question is, is how could we go this long without knowing for sure? I mean, science, is after all, an exact science.

Why do these new "revelations" keep appearing? Especially after so much time? I'd think anything worth discovering would've been done so a very long time ago after the Apollo missions. Why didn't we know there was "lots of water" back when we first cracked open these rocks?

Another evidence that the rocks didn't come from the moon. Appollo missions seems to be a hoax.
