Here's a fun fact: There is an international agreement, signed in the 1960's that states that no country can have direct physical contact with water found on an celestial body for fear of contamination.
So yeah. There is water on Mars, Pluto, possibly Charon, and probably Saturn's moons Enceladus and Europa. Can't analyze though. Can only look at it.
Kind of a bummer.

Once we get past the massive dangers of traveling outside of Earth's protective magnetic field, any life we'd ever find on another planet is scary. I mean, a simple bacteria or virus that Earthlings have never seen would be lethal.
By the time we figure out how we'll get there and back safely, we will have some sort of method in place to protect ourselves and the world we're visiting.
