I think the most we're likely to find is ice crystals. It's not like we're going to find some undiscovered Hudson River on the moon. I don't think we're going to find amounts that would compel us to proclaim that we can now start putting up drinking fountains on the moon. I just don't think it's going to be there, and it's going to take $79 million to realize that.
I just see this as a stunning waste of money...
