the only thing that stops high energy particles (alpha/beta) which cause DNA damage and X, gamma and cosmic rays is....

magnetic fields that make the photons/nuclei bounce off and go other places

life cannot exist without protection from this

the life they are finding on mars is several inches under the soil, at least, and silica, alumina and iron (common components of rock that has broken into dirt) are at least moderately deflecting it

the fact there is not macroscopic life on the planets should give it away

you can't live there, without going under ground

remember our discussion about water protecting/absorbing radiation

same thing

if there was water on either planet at least it could have aquatic life, to some degree
