This suggests oxygen-rich rocks; when they get hit with raw protons it forms H20. Water formation in no atmosphere is what interests me: it raises more questions for panspermia.-The moon setup as it is, means the tiny amounts of water boil off rather immediately. Panspermia is only an excuse for the origin of life problem here on earth. 'Origin' just rockets out into the universe!
