I LOVE the "Questions" or "Sudent Questions" shows in Astronomy Cast and love how yall are managing them. I have a question, and I'm putting it on here that way I wont have to try to fight the crowd to get it answered on the show, and maybe other members on here could chime in with answers...I am a Novice Astronomer...and that is an overstatement..."Extremely Interested and Learning the Basics Astronomer" is a more accurate statement...I do not, by any means, have much knowledge on Astronomy, but I do have the yearning for knowing the unknown...so...here's a question I have...(and everyone feel free to answer, trust me, I'm just now learning the "Laws of Space" *which is space makes it's own laws, haha*

Q - From my understanding, space is a extremely cold and absolute vacuum...one where no oxygen is present and no gravity (if I'm wrong here, then my question is shot, haha) Ok...so us finding ice on asteroids, Mars, and the Moon...doesn't that prove that Oxygen is present in space? And before Ice can be formed, it would have have start in a liquid state...and even for rapid transformation, Oxygen molecules would have to bond to Hydrogen to create the ice...right??? How is there ice in space when space is suppose to be absent of Oxygen...?

Please let me know, because I am sure I am wrong with some of my information, but it's just a question I have...thank you for yalls time and keep up the great work Fraser and Pamela!
