I hope that we can find aliens next that would be awesome. I hope earth handles this situation appropriately and doesn't mess anything up. A smart thing to do is to send an astronaut there to investigate the water and where it came from. Wow, it's amazing how advanced the world has become.

The Moon is routinely struck by meteorites that are larger than the LCROSS impactor. I haven't heard a definite amount of water found yet. It's probably ice mixed in with lunar soil--such that if you brought it back to Earth and warmed it up, it would be mud.... As for what we might do with the water--we could use it to drink, to make oxygen from, and to make rocket fuel from as well...so it's quite useful. I wouldn't worry about damage to the Moon.

How much water did they find? Is there any idea of what we could do with this water. I think that we shouldn't of risked this trial. We could of damaged the moon horribly.
