Without making myself sound a little bit too geeky, I must inform you that this discovery of water on the moon is the realization of my childhood dreams. I was very, very into space when I was a kid (dead set on being an astronomer after I realized my eyes etc weren't quite up to par to be an astronaut), and I was especially interested in water on the moon. We would get out the telescope (my father and I), and look at the craters, and talk about all of the most recent articles and discoveries.
This is SO amazing. Nobody in the general public is going to appreciate how amazing it is.
As for me, having water discovered on the moon *and* the LHC up and running again all in the same week makes me feel like it's my birthday six months early. :-)

Of course, Madame Hatoyama already knew about the water on the Moon (and has undoubtedly sampled it!). Don't you think in this universe full of H and trace elements like O that water could be in many other places, also? Comets would have bombarded all the planets and moons (Europa, Titan) back in "the old days".
