> With enough ice sitting at the surface—within the top few millimeters—water would possibly be accessible as a resource for future expeditions to explore and even stay on the Moon, and potentially easier to access than the water detected beneath the Moon's surface. OR: It could be collected, shipped back to earth, bottled, and sold to the wealthy at ludicrous prices.

I think the wealthy would rather take a vacation to the moon.
Just a question, is there any reason why whenever we detect frozen water its on the north pole or south pole of any circular object in solar system? I guess ones of them is sun heating up everything in the equator region.

(I think there's an extra twist on the Moon; the lack of atmosphere means that direct sunlight is blazingly hot even at the poles, but also that shadowed areas stay much much cooler since there's no moving air to distribute the heat evenly. Lunar ice doesn't form a continuous cap, but nestles in the bottoms of polar craters where the light never reaches.)
