I was really excited to learn that NASA had confirmed water on the moon.

Wasn't this scooped by the indian Chandrayaan-1 mission about a year ago ?

Of course, but the NASA water is more "real".

Interesting, I had never heard of that one. Well I guess that makes it slightly less awesome, but none the less now NASA knows there is water on the moon.

Chandrayaan-1 carried some Nasa instruments along with ESA ones.
it supposedly also only cost $80M, but that probably doesn't include the foreign instrument costs

It's time to apply for low gravity electrolysis patent.

Way beyond that what I'm looking at the low gravity Slip n' Slide.

 

[waht]

It is too general to be applied yet.

The Indian spacecraft detected a few hundred mL's of water scattered around the area of a football field. LCROSS threw up 100 kg of water, and it didn't even make a particularly big plume.
