The press conference did no harm and gave the public, who paid for the mission, exactly what they needed.

Well, I have some residual concerns about the detection methodology, and I don't think anyone knows if the amount of water detected was useful for resource exploitation or just a scientific curiosity. I'd think the public deserves the answer to that basic question.

I think you all may find the comments of William Marshall of Ames Research Center, as published in the New York Times, interesting.

The Wet Side of the Moon

I was particularly intrigued by the statement, "Almost as surprising as NASA's announcement is the lack of attention it has received."

Neat graphic as well.
