With comets, asteroid near misses and the like, I was just thinking that it would be nice to have humanity with some outposts off this planet.
While this would not be the easiest, it is good to know that there are other sources of H2O out there without as big a lifting force for orbit as Earth.

Can’t we send up a probe that will collect water samples and bring them back to earth?

Cant we send up a probe that will collect water samples and bring them back to earth? I'd just as soon we park them in low-Earth orbit and work on there, if you don't mind.

And so is Neptune’s Triton, and now maybe Ceres.

Its kind of funny that a fair portion of sci fi shows have aliens coming to earth to steal our water when the reality is that we’re pretty dry and water is pretty abundant in space and apparently throughout our solar system.

Don’t they have editors any more?
They could say sub-surface and would be correct,
underground not so much.
Oh well...

Poor wording does as much damage to good science as global warming alarmists do.
One that irritates me lately is the statement that the Dawn spacecraft is “orbiting” Ceres. Its not orbiting. Its currently traveling parallel with Ceres some 38,000 miles beyond the orbit of Ceres and will enter actual orbit early next month.
(NASA eyes on the solar system is a great tool for visualizing where these craft are and where they are headed.)

That’s because the aliens stole our water, duh.

Not to mention the asteroid belt has such massive amounts of material, any real alien power could harvest them all.
Another is that if some alien race has all this power and technology, why can’t they master basic chemistry?

Hydrogen and Helium are the most abundant elements in the universe with oxygen ranking at number 3. With all that hydrogen and oxygen an advanced race should have no problem making all the water they need.
