In Sudbury, in the Merensky Reef of South Africa, and in Montana, we are already obtaining hundreds of billions of dollars worth of asteroidal resources from impacts here on the earth and our own computer modeling has shown that the impactors on the Moon are still there.
-
Recently at LPSC the simulations results were presented that confirmed my hypothesis about the survivability of the low velocity impactors.

After the paper at LPSC last year regarding the fate of low velocity metallic impactors on the Moon, I am absolutely convinced (well at least 98.5%), that we will find mineable large fragments (million ton sized) on the Moon.

I also have some interesting results coming from our own Lunar Orbiter images that will play off of the impact modeling of Melosh, et al, and others regarding low velocity impactors.
-
This paper is about low velocity impactors on the lunar surface.
-
This is at least computer modeling confirmation of my hypothesis about Ni-Fe impactors.

And yes, Earth has these oceans, it may be that Mars never had oceans, that it was just small areas where maybe it melted the ice where these impactors came, and there was a wonderful habitat for a short time.

Go and take a look there because there's some new research where people have a lot of these places where there is chemical evidence for water, the reason they know that is that impactors have pummeled Mars and excavated through the lava that covers a lot of Mars, excavated deep down and found these chemical signatures of water-altered minerals.
