A "significant amount" of frozen water has been found on the moon. . . .

"Frozen water": Usually called "ice."

Looks promising for hockey on the moon. Now if we can only figure out how to land a Zamboni there. . . .

I know they usually do 5-15 miles per hour, but have they ever been tested under these impact conditions. "One rocket slammed into the Cabeus crater, near the moon's southern pole, at around 5,600 miles (9,000 kilometers) per hour."
