.. pounded by water-bearing asteroids and showered with scalding rain that carved vast gullies and valleys, a new study claims.

...  immense asteroids pounded Mars some 3.6 billion years ago, bringing vast quantities of water to the young planet and releasing powerful shock waves of heat that melted existing underground ice deposits.

1. Where did the existing underground ice come from?
2.  Comets are dirty snowballs (water).
3.  Asteroids are rocks--how could they get wet?
4.  Could Mars have been pounded by comets instead?
