Had we established the first Moon base in 1988 as NASA had on its roadmap in 1970 we would know all about this ice and other aspects of the Moon as well :-).
I also agree with Tomas who opined that for a long time it was presented that water was 'rare' and somehow special. And while we can agree that the triple point is pretty narrow set of conditions that have to exist, we now know it flowed on Mars at one time, is probably currently flowing on Europa, and that ice is literally everywhere.
