Nice Futurama refence

So, on Mo(o)nday they'll probably show a hotspot they've found. A lunar volcano (mooncano) or an old-but-still-hot impact location.

Yep, it was water. But on the sunlit side!

Probably it was raining, so it's wet.

Next time they should better take an umbrella.

Like with everything else, the devil is in the details.

When can we expect waterparks to open? They might be fun in low g.

When they collect both micrograms of water ice from square kilometer.

I'm wondering if this will affect the current Artemis mission architecture. Now that water has been detected elsewhere other than the Shackleton crater, could other landing sites that are easier to get to be back on the table?  I would at least entertain that maybe two weeks of sun and two weeks of shade near the equator might be worth the savings on time, complexity, and dV that the NHRO and polar bases present.
