Water on the Moon?

Two probes have been sent to the moon to explore the craters in the moon's southern hemisphere, in search of frozen water deep in the moon's craters. If water is found, it would be able to be converted to fuel for spacecraft making the moon a good stopping point for space missions beyond the moon. Rocks from the moon have shown that it's bone dry suggesting that any water on the moon has come from comet impacts which have been evaporated from the suns light. Radar scans of the moon's southern hemisphere indicate that there might be frozen water.
