Thanks. so we need a sample now? oh crap, how many planets and suns just vanished feom the sky because we don't have samples You don't know enough about it to be certain they couldn't be wrong. They may very well be correct. Highly likely even, but it isn't confirmed and you look like an incredible rough ridin' dunce glibly presuming what they are speculating is somehow infallible. Human scientists err? Unpossible.

So definitely not confirmed. Thanks.

we are still discovering elements here on earth, who's to say there isn't some new cool crap out on the space moons eh?
"Over the past 250 years, there have been basically 100 new elements discovered," said Paul Karol, a chemistry professor at Carnegie Mellon University and chair of the committee that recommended the additions. "But it is becoming more and more difficult to do this so when a new element is discovered, it's actually pretty exciting."

Scientists have discovered a new mineral embedded in a meteorite that fell to Earth over 40 years ago, and it could be among the oldest minerals, formed in the early days of our solar system. The mineral is a type of titanium oxide and has been named panguite, after Pan Gu, the giant from ancient Chinese mythology who established the world by separating yin from yang to create the Earth and the sky.“Panguite is an especially exciting discovery since it is not only a new mineral, but also a material previously unknown to science,” says Chi Ma, from Caltech and author of a new paper detailing the discovery.

If a scientist could choose which one would be the go to for 100% confirmation of plain jane earth water: vibration math and assumptions or the sample? The scientist chooses the rough ridin' sample. This isn't hard.

This isn't hard. you were just as dismissive as i was acceptive, both are bad stances. yes, i trust that when they say that they took into account everything they could possibly think of and still came to that conclusion that they actually did just that. if it turns out to be wrong, so be it. to say it isn't water because it could be something else has no more proof than what the guys actually doing the work have.

i'm just a dreamer, bubbles, and my dream is all kinds of wickedly cool stuff out in space
