Umm, sample size?  Can you really extrapolate to such a large mass of water from just this?

Is there water on the moon?  I think so.  This much?  I don't know, but I am skeptical of such claims to a vast quantity.

The earth is 3.7 times larger than the moon.  I would think most people would agree that we are a water-rich planet by any standard.

To say that the moon has as much water as the earth seems to defy logic.  Of course their language "in some places it rivals the amount of water found within Earth" is sensationalistic.  Not a well written article in that regard from a scientific perspective IMO!

Some of these "Scientists" should be selling used cars .

I think they're doing better than that, er worse, er whatever...I think they're selling Climate Change!

We should send an expedition to find out, then plant a flag and claim it.

There's no social justice angle to that Charles. We'll leave that kind of exploration up to the Chinese and the Russians from now on.

Besides, it might make America look good or powerful. Can't have that.
