Water Ice in asteroids

I'm sorry, how is this news? I knew this (literally) twenty years ago (as in it was common knowledge).

Science articles make me chortle more often than I'd like. I keep waiting for headlines like "new satellite reports sun not visible on 'night side' of Earth" or "New NASA mission finds there may or may not be conditions for life on (insert planet or moon name here)." or "New ultra-expensive telescope confirms information we basically knew since Galileo published it in 1610. Further experiments should find tiny, incremental gains in the overall knowledge base, at a huge cost to taxpayers." or "NASA continues to shovel money into Boeing to support Manned Spaceflight technologies that will never exist."
