    • i hope it's not to late for man to utilize this resource. we have had enough technology for decades to begin colonizing space but our leaders spend our resources on wars and self-angrandizement.

    • this is better than chandra's earlier discovery of high energy hydrogen fused to lunar rock by solar wind. that was a way to create water but with effort, now there is enough to fill a small lake. here's something neat to ponder; the water from the pole can be transported in orbit at a height of a few feet because there is no atmospheric friction. orbital speed at the moon is about 1000mph (an uneducated guess), so a cannon could fire slugs of ice weighing tons, thousands of miles. actually a bullet fired from a rifle on the moon, level with the horizon will orbit endlessly (if the charge is right and no hills get in the way) .

    • You want something trippy...there is evidence of water ice on Mercury despite its extremely high average surface temperature due its close proximity to the sun.. At the South Pole, there are creators with bottoms that are constantly covered in shadows. Because of this, the ice never melts.

      Lighter elements are common throughout the universe. Because of this, water is fairly common throughout the universe.
