Did the impactor contain water? If so, how much? Was some of it lost as the result of the large impact? Was a lot or a little lost? Did some react with silicates in the proto- lunar disk? Or was the water added later, to both Earth and Moon? Why does the Moon contain a few parts per million to a few tens of parts per million water while the Earth contains much more, 500 to 1000 parts per million? Canup (2004)
