It is unfortunate that money is so easily to blow for the govern-ment. Water on the moon yes, but what will it to for little old fat me on earth. My taxes are blown away like dust particles and all I get is a runny nose. Let's do something sensible like getting Al Gore to quit spending so much carbon dollars and Obama from failing to accomplish something besides sniffing up a socialist crack. People are dying while the rich boys are playing.B

Lunar Prospector provides a world of data
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., March 12, 2001 -- This week scientists from The Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory present their latest findings from NASA’s Lunar Prospector mission at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston, Texas.
"Lunar Prospector has revolutionized our view of the Moon -- we just didn’t realize how much it revolutionized it. And there is a whole community of people out there in the planetary science world that is excited about and interested in the Lunar Prospector data," said Rick Elphic, a Los Alamos scientist.
The Los Alamos studies include data on Moonquake activity, further confirmation of the presence of water-ice on the moon, and mapping of iron and titanium using gamma-rays emitted when cosmic rays slam into the lunar surface.
Los Alamos scientists built three of the five instruments that were aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft that orbited the Moon for nearly 19 months gathering data, and then was intentionally crashed in the Moon’s south pole in a final attempt to extract additional information about water on the Moon.
The data gathered by the Lunar Prospector and analyzed by Los Alamos scientists also provided the first global elemental lunar study to date.
"You can’t take samples of just a few locations on the Moon, like the Apollo missions did, and say you know the composition of the whole Moon. It would be like taking a rock from Paris and Los Angeles and a snap shot of Tokyo and saying you know everything about Earth’s composition. It’s like a detective story -- you have to put all of the pieces of information together to see the whole picture," David Lawrence, a Los Alamos researcher, said.
Los Alamos scientists present a few pieces from this puzzle this week at the conference. The scientific goals for the Lunar Prospector were to answer long-standing questions about the Moon, its resources -- including water -- its structure, and its origins.
And before the mission, they said:

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., December 30, 1997 — Sometime in the next month or so, Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists will gather information bearing on a major question impacting the future of space colonization: does the moon have water?

Just sayin..if this thing was so spectacular, where is the spectacle..? why don't we have pics to go wi the story??? i heard we were maybe testing a new and improved bunker buster..??

Waste of money.In the past we were there so many times-why they did not look for water then?

The missions in the 60's, (actually the 70's, there was only one mission to the surface in the 60's) sampled surface rock. Any 'water' or ice would have dissipated in the moon's thin atmosphere. The current missions are looking for sub-surface ice. Hence the need to smash parts of the moon to smitherines...
The goal is to build a permanent colony. Water will be needed to survive, not only for drinking but for creating energy and oxygen (2H2O -> 2H2 (energy) + O2 (oxygen)). It is imperative that local supplies be discovered. Transporting water to the moon is far too costly... and risky.
I say fling a few more and ket the good times roll :-)

Were we not there before? Did we not have numerous missions to the moon - amazingly without mishap - when technology was still in the computer infant stage compared to today (I was vice-president of operations for a corporation that had an entire room, climate controlled, dedicated to our computer system and it had not any more power than my desktop does today). Something does not seem right about having to smash into the surface of the moon for information when we visited it so often in the sixties.
