  1. The biggest worry about sex in space is what comes after
    Sex in space is the perfect subject for levity and double entendres, and the panelists at a Deep Tech Week session held at Thinkspace Seattle leaned into the humor early on.

    “We can all imagine Newton’s Third Law dictates that, unrestrained, you get one thrust in and

  4. Researchers at Cambridge and Cardiff Universities have detected signs of molecules which on Earth are only produced by simple organisms on a planet called K2-18b. "This is the strongest evidence yet there is possibly life out there".

    While not 100% conclusive, the research suggests K2-18b could have an ocean which could be potentially full of life.

    Using the James Web Space Telescope researchers found that K2-18b's atmosphere seems to contain the chemical signature of at least one of two molecules that are associated with life: dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and dimethyl disulphide (DMDS). bbc.com/news/articles/c39jj9vk #Lifeinspace #space #K2a8b #planets #JWST #universe #science #cambridgeuniversity #dimethylsulphide #dimethyldisulphide

  6. Pleased to manage some journal paper work this afternoon, then watch two #Worldcon panels on catchup ("Scot-ish: The Influence of Scotland on Fantasy Worldbuilding", and "It's Life, Jim, but Not as We Know It" about searching for life beyond Earth). Still #Covid neg but we're pretty sure I had it too. Picked up on a brief visit to #StAndrews. We didn't dare go to Worldcon in person for the infection risk to severely #immunosuppressed me. #Scotland #Fantasy #SearchForLifeInSpace #LifeInSpace
