Water on moon?

There is some speculation about Chandrayaan finding water on moon. Does the news media really believe that is possible? People should think about all the other NASA and Russian satellites that have been roaming around that area did not do anything till now and this kal ka chhokra chandrayaan comes and discovers water !! To kya woh amereeki aur roosi satellites jhakh mar rahe the?
Two new items in TOI answer this question for us beautifully... Did chandrayaan find water on Moon's surface? and Chandrayaan-1 was 'killed' by heat stroke.
Therefore my detective mind reconstructed the truth like this - when Chandrayaan-1 was dying from the heat stroke, it wished for water on Moon's surface and would have imagined it during the process. This imagery made scientists believe that there is really water there :-)
