Otherwise, traces of life found on?

American National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), one year before the rocket hit the moon to find water, plenty of available water, silver and mercury release said it removed.With the boom of rocket, frozen water, carbon monoxide, ammonia, and silvery metals spread into space was announced. Curb the crater, estimated to be 1 billion gallons of frozen water.
NASA, the Lunar Crater Observation Sensing Satellite (LCROSS), to 9 October 2009, the Moon's south pole crater Cabeus throwing a rocket. The aim of this part of the moon if there is ice in the craters, if any, that the analysis of how to make ice.
Sent to the surface faster than a bullet to the Centaur rocket, exploded on the crater about 30 meters.
The explosion of around 4 to 6 tons of rock, dust and steam spread. Uyduyla that analyzes the emitted fragments of another NASA scientists have reached interesting results. 5.6 percent of the total mass of crater Cabeus URL frozen water was calculated to occur. Disclosure of the silver, mine is not as small particles may also, in the amount of mercury that were greater than anticipated.
Brown University planetary geologist Peter Schultz, the state of Rhode Island, "This crater, as if the elements such as treasure chest. Placed among the permanent shadows," commented.NASA's LCROSS mission leader Anthony Colaprete, the 1 billion gallons of frozen water in the crater could calculate Cabeus said. This means that the amount of water to fill about 1,500 Olympic-sized pool.
LCROSS mission, NASA has cost about 80 million dollars.
