Could we have a totally new planet or will the water just leave the planet because of the low gravity and extreme temperatures?

You could get a tiny amount of hydrogen from the solar wind but even if you had the oxygen to spare, it would take a long time to make a decent amount of water.

One more piece of the puzzle... maybe, of course. This had to be done in a vaccum enviroment, right? Pressure value? Anyone? Great stuff. One more piece of the puzzle… maybe, of course.
