Satellite data has revealed that there is water trapped all across the Moon's surface, not just at the poles.
A new analysis of satellite data collected by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument on board India's Chandrayaan-1 orbiter has indicated that the Moon's surface is covered in 'hotspots' of water trapped beneath the lunar surface within deposits from ancient volcanic eruptions.
The findings are important as they could help scientists better understand how the Moon originally formed as well as provide new information about its internal structure and magnetic field.
The presence of additional water could also prove invaluable during future manned missions.
"The first resource that people are going to look for when they go beyond Earth is water," said Open University planetary scientist Mahesh Anand.
"You can land much more easily onto the equatorial region of the moon and if there is a nearby water deposit or possibility of extracting water then that becomes an attractive proposition as well."
I was serious, I was quoting a NASA geologist that worked on the Apollo missions analysis, I can't remember his name but he was adamant about the surface density below the dust. Titanum isn't very hard, it's just so incredibly flexible that it's tough, makes for the best springs on Earth. I could have said it's harder than frozen p***, the instruments wouldn't penetrate that either. Any radiospectral analysis they could use would NOT include sonic radio spectography because that propagates through molecular chains of vibration, ie physical contact between molecules and atoms, there are none be...

Then why say anything about it's hardness at all. Had the claim been that they drilled the lunar surface and I said "impossible, it's as hard as titanum" I would understand. But the claim is that they detected water content within the lunar surface. That's a lie, also there are some molecular structures that with a little interference from the radiation in space could produce a false positive. We know there's lots of H3O there, it's not out of the realm of possibility that the wireless communications they use aren't completely immune to radio interference from a wide array of sources. Think ab... [More]
Anyway, it seems you didnt read the scientific paper linked in the article in post #1. Nowhere it is claimed that satellite data was generated by penetration of the Moon`s body, nowhere.
My question was were are you getting the info from about the moon, because you mentioned no moon landings and fake stones. As you have now said from NASA, and they know because they have been there and there are no fake rocks from their side. what research have you done on the moon where you can claim they are lying? What equipment are you using to test the moon?
Nonsense. Here is an article wrote in 2009 by CNN, following moons bombardment http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/10/09/probe.moon.crash/index.html and a quote from Nasa investigator : "We have the data we need to actually address the questions we set out to address," said Anthony Colaprete, principal investigator for the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, mission. It will be awhile before all the data from the satellite can be analyzed to determine if there is water on the moon, according to LCROSS project manager Dan Andrews. and a quote from the end of article w...
