[Carl Esparza]

Sterling,
If these samples truly originated on the moon. doesn't  this mean "back to the old drawing board"? Carl

Hi,

    The absence of water in the bulk composition 
of the Moon is a long-held truism -- the driest body
in the Solar System. We've always believed, and the 
evidence has supported, the notion that due to its
violent origin all water (and volatiles) were lost.

    Now, someone's found water in "Moon Rocks."

Water is discovered in Moon Samples
