It said that water and oxygen = are not necessary for oxidization of iron. If that's true the moon = should be redder than Mars since it doesn't have the extreme weather = patterns that would mix a thin sediment of oxidized meteoric residue = with the rest of the planet? It sounds pretty far fetched to me. I know = nothing...just a thought.
