This is very good news.
Ah, "moon-mud".
Re: India’s lunar mission finds fuel for conspiracy theorists...
And conspiracy theorists (or at least one) have found a new argument. One of the posters at the site linked by the OP had this to say:

Annoying, isn't it?

yeah, but those people see conspiracy in the Easter Bunny, so don't mind them. however, they do have a point. our scientist have been studying the moon since before kennedy, and they got the technology from us, so how is it we missed this after how many missions, and they got it on their first one?

I wonder what it would feel like to swim in a pool where the gravity was 1/6 that of Earth. You'd probably hardly break the surface just sitting on the water.
So if I was willing to take the plunge into their conspiracy world, the first thing I would notice is that if the government was capable of committing such a fraud as to fake the moon landings, it would have been even easier for them to have covered up evidence of water that an actual mission did happen to find on the moon. And now that other nations are independently finding water on the Moon, our government has to go along with it. Of course, the next question would be why would they cover that up? What else did they find?
Anyway, the truth of this matter is probably boring and mundane. People miss things all the time. This is nothing new.
That would be very cool.
Someone correct me if I am wrong on this, but I believe there is not enough pressure in the Moon's atmosphere for water to be stable in liquid form, even if their was a place warm enough, just like Mars.
It's was interesting to read how scientists think the water is produced, but at four tons of soil per gallon of water I think it's a pretty insignificant finding.

Agreed, the Mars permafrost down to 45 degrees latitude is much more likely to be an exploitable resource.
It may be that other interesting hydroxyls are being formed on Luna though. We'll have to get samples!

I knew that moons had water there for a long time to come. This is very good news!

It's too stupid that we're still here on the earth now. If we make our trip to our moon a decade ago, we would have found the water there and delivering the news to earth citizens! It would speed our chance up to form the plans to be on our way to Mars where humans' dreams to set foot over there to explore if there's the past life there.
What are we waiting for? It's not fair that they're keeping us in the dark. Mars could set ourselves freed and becoming space faring civilization at long last! It could set ourselves free from this terrible ordeal that we has to deal with all that shit here on the earth.
I pray that so hard to ensure that humans to break free from earth and roaming free! Mars is my childhood dream that one day I could leave earth and live on Mars, because as of right now, Mars is my favorite planet to live on it, best place for me to retire from my job!
But I'm not going to give up that faith in humanity, I know that we can live on Mars, Venus, Titan and those moons that we've laying our eyes upon them.
Here's another one. Why do the conspiracy theorists believe this landing is real anyway? For whatever reason, they insist the old moon landings were faked, regardless of the evidence. But they don't question this one? Sounds a bit backward.
