Wow, I love how you just quoted a block of text from some crackpot conspiracy theorist's site (whole sections devoted to UFO sightings? 9/11 conspiracies? Really?). The first thing you can do for yourself is to read up on the "water on moon" news on reputable sites, maybe something like badastronomy.com. Here's an article that succinctly explains the nature of water on the moon:

Secondly I'm very disappointed in the amount of anti-NASA sentiments in this threads. Look up the moon landing, guys. No, not from conspiracy theorists' web sites. Take off the tinfoil hats and read an article or two on the science behind them. There are plenty of "moon landing hoax" debunking articles out there. Not all governmental bodies are trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

And NASA collaborating with Discovery? Really? That's what you really think? So when you're confronted with evidence that maybe, just maybe, the moon landings were real, you brush it off with ANOTHER conspiracy theory? That's just incredible.

It doesn't help that you're quoting a site that intentionally resorts to sarcasm and name-calling (NASA: Never Always Science Administration. Oh haha, that's very clever) to belittle this amazing discovery. And all for what? I'm guessing negative bias towards the administration. If you want people to have an intelligent debate or discussion about the points raised by the article, and by extension, by you, it would make sense to keep the immaturity on the down-low.

Secondly, do you really expect me to come up with a detailed point-by-point debunking of your post, seeing that all you did was copy-paste an entire article that someone else wrote? If you read my post, I did the same by linking to another article hoping that you'll realize that the water that was discovered on the moon is not water or ice in the conventional sense, but traces of water and hydroxyl molecules.

Now I'm not a scientist by any means, however I do have the tools to do proper research from credible sources explaining how and why there's water. Here are some more links, and for your convenience, some quotes that you might be interested in:

Quite frankly I'm rather pissed at myself for spending so much time doing this, when you could've done the same instead of spreading blatant misinformation. If you need anything else, hit Google.
