The discovery was announced by project scientist Anthony Colaprete at a midday news conference. “Indeed, yes, we found water,” he said.

I love space. After reading Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Mars Trilogy” I have a secret desire to colonize Mars and retire there.
I also believe that Stephen Hawking was right when he argues that in the interest of survival of humanity we need to get off this rock and spread ourselves out a bit.
Finding water on the moon seems like a good first step to all that.
