Title: How possible is it to find sugar on other planets in our solar system?

I think we would be more motivated to colonize and explore our own solar system if we can find ways to make a buck out there.

OK, I'll pay you 10% more than the general market price for any extraterrestrial gem-quality diamonds you deliver to my door with proof of provenance.

Now go and explore.

Some meteorites have been found to have sugars in them, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are other planets that have some amount of sugar delivered by meteorites. If you want to harvest that, I would strongly recommend growing your own sugar cane instead. It would be far more practical and profitable.

Thanks for that - I'll pass it on to The Boss who disparagingly refers to any Sunday morning flight to an airfield with a cafe as "the hundred dollar hamburger".
