Line 105:
** Because of the last WMG - they're ''idiots''.
** They are mining comets, but comets are a lot smaller than Earth is. They can't mine Europa because there's no way for them to get leverage—there's no place on the surface of that moon that ''isn't'' outright water. We can walk on black Hawaiian lava if we're willing to melt our sneakers, but we can't touch the red lava. For someone who can't touch water, the difference between farm fields and ice balls is similar.
*** Europa has a cover of ice on the top. [[Frozen (Disney film)|And even Disney knows how to mine ice from on top of a body of water.]]
** If they wanted water, even if it absolutely had to be from Earth, why bother getting out of the ship at all? They could just fly in over the middle of the Pacific, lower a pipe, and pump the hold full. Or if it had to be fresh water, they could go in over one of the ice caps and use a crane. There's no need to expose fragile alien flesh to the horrible death world in the first place.
* Water is actually the second most common molecule in the universe.
** Not in ''their'' corner of it.
*** Water is [[H 2 OH2O]]. Hydrogen is actually just a proton and electron. It is everywhere, it is produced by stars and radioactive nuclei. Lots of oxygen was made when population III stars gone nova, which spread across universe - there are no pop. III stars now, so everything is made of them. That means lots of oxygen and even more hydrogen everywhere.
 
== The Aliens are on the run from a much MUCH scarier race. ==

== The invasion was actually the result of an Interstellar [[Uriah Gambit]] ==
What better way to create a suicide mission than to send the underling to a planet covered (about 75%) in what will literally eat then him/her/it alive. The other troops were probably recruited from prisons, asylums and amongst the dregs of their society. How can their equivalent of coroners complain when there are no remainremains (melting away during the first rain storm)? Those in charge knew; the troops were told they were to procure Di-hydrogen-monoxide by any means necessary. Society was told that they were tragic losses while on an exploration mission to a deadly planet with barbaric inhabitants.
