Scientists
had believed that the heat from an impact of the magnitude required
to produce the Moon would have vapourised all water. But these recent
studies of the green glasses show that massive volcanic eruptions
actually brought water to the lunar surface 3 billion years ago.
This suggests that water was part of the Moon since it's formation.
( note: the 3 billion year date of the release
of water in relation to the Earth / Mars timeline )
