    It seams to me that most people disagree with you. There is evidence of significant ammounts of water on mars. If you perform the same calculations for Earth what are your results? I highly doubt that there is enough energy from the Sun to create water on this planet, yet we have water and tons(an understatement) of iron.

    We know there is water on a couple moons, which would get significantly less exposure to the sun. I am really just curious.
