There has been raging debates over the years over the occurrence of frozen water on the moon. The new NASA lunar orbiter will help to cease the debates by the new picturing. All moon rocks suggest the surface is dry and that water is baked off by the sun. However there may be water in the deep craters at the moon's poles that have not seen sunlight for over 2 billion years. Evidence of potential water on the moon begin in 1996 with radar scans of the moon that reflected back signals that would be expected of ice. Doubters claim the reflections are from piles of rocks, not ice. The results from the new orbiter are crucial in future planning of space travel.
