Is it true that there is water ice on the Moon?
Yes. A NASA-referenced encyclopedia entry states that robotic probes found evidence of water ice in permanently shadowed lunar craters and that water ice was confirmed in multiple locations in 2018. Other sources describe missions seeking or detecting lunar water ice, but only partially cover the claim.
