Hey Faux News, Shut the Hell Up!

A "significant amount" of frozen water has been found on the moon, the US space agency said Friday heralding a giant leap forward in space exploration and boosting hopes of a permanent lunar base.
Preliminary data from a dramatic experiment on the moon "indicates the mission successfully uncovered water in a permanently shadowed lunar crater," NASA said in a statement.
"The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon," it added, as ecstatic scientists celebrated the landmark discovery.
"Yes indeed we found water and we did not find only a little bit but a significant amount," said Anthony Colaprete, project scientist and principal investigator for the 79-million-dollar LCROSS mission.
So there, we just found the mother lode on the moon by "bombing" it. (The scientific term is called an impactor and has been in use since the beginnings of the space age. See Ranger probes)
I hope Bill O'Reilly chokes on more spittle over this.
Really.
