Hello Michael:
Relative to what I have read about the distribution of elements in a solar system. The lighter elements are normally to be found in a shell area well beyond any of the normal planets. This shell is a place where comets are formed and also large ice asteroids. From what I have read it should not be the normal result to have large amounts of water in the inner areas of a solar system. My thought is that this might be evidence of planetary engineering. In the case of our solar system the 3 planets that are in a range that has the possibility to support life all have more water than they should have under normal conditions. We may soon discover that the water on the planet mars has been dispersed back into space because of insufficient G force to hold it. The water below the surface there may just indicate that at one time there was much more water than there is now.
How many colonies would a colonizer colonize if a colonizer could colonize a colony?

If we ever get to do this. Our first stop will be in the shell of the star to bring the water to the places that need it.

I case you couldn't tell, I was backing the thought that michael indicated.
This could be a very interesting topic. Water in the solar system.
If we ever think of going there we should talk about this first.
John.
