>>They might “speculate” that the asteroids became moist in outer space because of the unbelievable cold temperatures.<<

Why should “unbelievably cold temperatures” cause asteroids to become moist? Condensation?!? Moisture can exist at many hundreds of degrees Celsius. Moledules of water only begin to decompose (into their constituent atoms of oxygen and hydrogen) at several THOUSAND degrees Celsius.

>>However, that “speculation” would be shot to hell if someone in the science community states that it is impossible for asteroids to continue to carry moisture if they are flying at the speed of light. Thus, at such high travel speed the temps could become hot within the ‘roid itself, killing all moistureness.<<

This chunk contains several profound errors in thought. No one has proposed that asteroids ever “flew” at or even anywhere NEAR the speed of light, not even 0.1% of the speed of light. And why should “high travel speed” (on the order of, say, 30 miles per second) affect the temperature WITHIN the asteroids? Or even on the surface? Friction?! In the vacuum of space? Sorry!

>>Explaining this is like explaining the Constitution or the Bible. Everyone interprets it as he or she wishes or desires, to cater to their own beliefs..<<

I respectfully submit that you lack an adequate knowledge of basic physics and astronomy to make any meaningful contribution to this discussion.

You’re right, I’m not. That’s why I use ‘quote-unquote’ to phrase some of my thoughts/observations... I’m just your average 40 y/o Mom & History Channel viewer... a very ‘frustrated meteorologist’...
