Is there life on Maaaa... Venus?
Is there life on Maaaa... Venus?
Click. I'm very excited about this.
Re: Is there life on Maaaa... Venus?
Evidently nobody else is.
Re: Is there life on Maaaa... Venus?
It's cool because it's clearly something scientists don't yet understand. But what it might be is going to take a while, decades perhaps to work out.
Exciting that if life can survive on Venus it'll most likely be everywhere in the universe.

It's certainly more interesting than anything that's coming out of Mars so lately. That's my thinking as well, if life can survive on Venus, where else could it survive and how different and interesting could it be?... if there is indeed life there, it must be a hardy so-and-so.
Hopefully it's enough to encourage some more investigation and exploration at least.

Elon can test out the BFR express shipping a probe to Venus rather before a bunch of Mars colonists.
It's often been my thought that if the beginnings of life was a cosmic role of the dice, you only have to have those numbers come up once in a billion years for it to get a foothold and away it goes.
On an only vaguely related note, Iain M Banks novel The Algebraist is a great Sci Fi story set in the inhabited clouds of a gas giant.

Well I for one welcome our incoming invasion by acid breathing fire resistant little men.
How about not having a sig at all?

I think Venus is home to a colony of lesbians.
I saw it in a movie once.
All hail the lady loving ladies of Venus.
Dave!

Interesting - however you’d have thought the discovery of a previously unknown abiotic means of phosphine production has to be as likely than the discovery of organisms with an organic cell wall with the properties of Teflon that somehow inexplicably exchanges gases across that membrane.
Not impossible I guess but doesn’t seem overly likely and looks like we’d need to wait 10+ years and a successful NASA visit to find out...

Have you folks read about lyfe and life? Interesting stuff.

Re: Is there life on Maaaa... Venus?
Should we invest in a programme to investigate, or just nuke the entire site from orbit?

What did the Irish Space Marine say?
To be sure, to be sure, to be sure.

Re: Is there life on Maaaa... Venus?
Fair comment, and the process does happen chemically on gas giants for example, but it's not understood how it would be possible on Venus. I would describe it as hopeful but obviously not nailed on, definitely worth investigation.GG. wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 8:28 am Interesting - however you’d have thought the discovery of a previously unknown abiotic means of phosphine production has to be as likely than the discovery of organisms with an organic cell wall with the properties of Teflon that somehow inexplicably exchanges gases across that membrane.

My personal hunch (and hope) is that basic life is far more common away from earth than most people expect, I'm just hoping that's proven to be the case in my lifetime.

Hold on, one second...this installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
