Yes, there is water on the moon. When I first heard that NASA was going to crash something into the moon ... well, I thought people were just joking. I didn't want to look like an idiot so I didn't say, "What? Are you serious?" So I went on the internet to research it instead.

You can see the footage of the impact data on NASA's website.

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LCROSS/main/prelim_water_results.html

If you think about it, the finding is pretty historical and ground-breaking. Water is needed to sustain life which makes things like building space stations on the moon extra worthwhile.

Strictly speaking, NASA found ice. Not much really, hidden in the craters of the Lunar poles; but, still, water ice. Perhaps it will come in handy someday; but, mostly it is of scientific interest. In particular, for the public, it helps us understand that the Moon is not as alien to us as it sometimes appeared during those landings 40 years ago.

They didn't find much ice, but it apparently implies that there's more water than they expected. http://www.dvhardware.net/article39160.html

Hopefully not just remnants of the lunar landing dumping water waste from the porta-potty. Was it blue?

According to National Geographic, there's water. Buckets-full!

(about 24 gallons worth)

Yes, NASA reported that they have found significant water on the moon.
---quote----
NASA scientists say the frozen water was found as a result of last month's dramatic experiment that sent two spacecraft crashing into the moon's surface.

Yes! The discovery came from the impact of two spacecraft into the lunar south pole. An orbiting craft analyzed the spray and detected the release of twenty-six gallons of water, mostly in vapor form. The material excavated also contains other complex molecules which scientists hope may offer clues about the origin of the solar system.

You bet! And it cost us in gold to figure this out. Hmmm, maybe the next find will be the gold we need to pay for it.
