The only scientist on the moon thinks the same!

One is the recent alleged discovery of ice at the poles of the moon. Well, theoretically, a comet hitting the moon may well deposit a layer of ice in the permanently shadowed, very, very cold parts of the moon at the poles. But practically it’s not clear that that ice will last very long because of the impact of micro meteors and some other effects. On the other hand, the, this solar wind hydrogen is implanted in the moon continuously and hydrogen moves around on the moon. It’s released, some of it’s released thermally and will move around, and also probably precipitate in those permanently shadowed areas. So what the lunar prospector has seen literally is hydrogen, and they have interpreted it as water. But we don’t know that it’s water ice. We can certainly be sure it’s hydrogen and I think the probably is somewhat higher that it’s solar wind hydrogen that’s concentrated there.
