USSR found water on the moon - in 1976!
Soviet Moon Lander Discovered Water on the Moon in 1976 - Technology Review
I am always amazed at how good the USSR was in terms of their space programs. They sent up the first satellite, the first person into space and did plenty of moon missions with a scientific background - when the Americans were just holding one "first time" that was celebrated widely - that "first man on the moon" event. And of course cool moon cars. So, while the Americans struggled to bring back so many kilos of moon rock that they could not package safely enough to prevent contamination, the USSR sent a drill up there to take a few high quality samples from below the surface. Quality instead of Quantity  But of course these were only stupid communists, they cannot really do anything, right? So everyone else ignored that they found a 1‰ water content in their moon rock samples and instead continued with expensive missions to search for water on the moon...
