Why might the discovery of ice in impact basins at the moons poles be important to future space flights?
when meteorites and other objects strike the moon, they leave behind depressions in the moons surface. The depression left behind by an object striking the moon is known as an imoact basin, or impact crater.
What kind of water is on the moon and where is it?
There is water all over the moon's surface. In fact, there is over 1.3 trillion pounds of water ice on the moon. But the most of the lunar water is on the north and south poles of the moon.
