Re: Water on the moon or Mars,part-2

Like I'd said, I would accept the sunny side and thus of whatever time
ISS is fully illuminated as being sufficient. Put the cube of ice (1
m3) out there and give us the results of how many ms it manages to
survive.

>You do know that parts of the moon never see sunlight don't you?
Yes. So what's your point?

Lunar nighttime and/or perpetual shade isn't worth much better than
hosting the likes of dry-ice and perhaps the likes of LRn, and I'm
certainly not speaking about CO2 as in the form of dry-ice that has to
be highly compressed into a near solid to start with. Just regular old
water-ice or perhaps salty-water as somewhat better ice that's having
to survive in free space (as not associated with any moon or planet) is
what I talking about.

Why are you avoiding the prime question as to raw ice surviving in
space?

Key word "space" is not speaking of raw ice situated upon our moon or
Mars. How can supposedly smart folks like yourself possibly keep
interpreting that differently?
