Actually, the Augustine Commission was informed about the water resources at the lunar poles. But they hardly uttered the world Moon base. So the fix was probably in:-)
Boldly proposing a Moon Base program is the only thing that's going to help Obama win Florida in 2012, IMO. Obama could easily frame his former opposition to returning to the Moon as opposition to the Constellation's Apollo redux program but not to a Moon base program.
I wonder if they sat on this data until it was confirmed that Constellation was killed?
