"Objectively, the NASA team’s findings confirm the failure of a theory. But somehow that critical failure did not make the headlines, due to the confidence of the theorists that the required water must be there, but hidden under the surface. So instead of questioning the theory, the investigators are now asking themselves how ice could stay hidden while feeding Comet Tempel’s “watery” output, which they calculated to be about 555 pounds per second!"
. After noting that the surface of Borrelly was “hot and dry”, NASA scientists did not question their theoretical starting point. Soderblom did not doubt the presence of water somewhere. "We know the ice is there," he said. "It's just well-hidden”.
Considering the pattern of new findings, it is time to pose the question that no one has wanted to ask. Why do comet investigators never find the levels of nucleus ices they expect? The absence of detectable water on the nucleus of Wild 2 was particularly mystifying because the pictures revealed cavernous craters with steep cliffs exposing deep subsurface material. The absence of water in such circumstance is no small problem!
The case of missing water is even more severe in the instance of Deep Impact and Comet Tempel 1. If a thin crust of dust hides the water below the surface of the nucleus, one would think that a newly formed crater, estimated to be the size of a football field and perhaps 65 feet deep, would be exactly what was needed to add life to the comet’s water-producing ability. The ice certainly could not be more than a few feet beneath the insulating material—and that’s thinking generously. Any deeper than that, and the Sun’s heating could have nothing to do with the comet’s discharge.
