34 of the funniest jokes about NASA’s 'exciting new discovery' on the Moon

After NASA dropped hints about an "exciting new discovery about the Moon", the big news is finally here: the Moon is wet.

As scientists and astronauts consider the actual implications of these findings, the rest of the world couldn't help but make jokes and share memes about the discovery. (Although, NASA couldn't help but join in on the fun.)
