If interstellar space is full of gas that is curious and possible problematic. Velocity meeting resistance creates (micro)friction. Friction means loss of momentum. Sure we're talking about tiny changes but they would be both cumulative and exponential over time.

And researchers studying those grains say that 4.4 billion years ago, Earth was a barren, mountainless place, and almost everything was under water. Only a handful of islands poked above the surface. Scientists at the Australian National University are behind this study, led by researcher Dr. Antony Burnham. The mineral grains in the study are the oldest rocks ever found. They’re 4.4 billion year old zircon mineral grains from the Jack Hills of Western Australia, where they were preserved in sandstone formations. 5 hours ago, Guard Dog said: Well oceans are teaming with life. Even in the Arctic and Antarctic. So I wouldn’t call it barren. It would definitely suck for us though. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
May 13, 20214 yr Freshly-Made Plutonium From Outer Space Found On Ocean Floor Quote All of these results suggested that some kind of stellar explosion, probably a supernova, happened in Earth's cosmic neighborhood about 3 million years ago and littered the area with radioactive iron. This latest study of iron that got incorporated into the slowly-growing layers of a deep sea rock confirms that notion—but also suggests yet another dose of interstellar iron arrived around 6 million years ago. "So there's not just one exploding star, there's two," says Fields. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

May 15, 20214 yr Politically polarized brains share an intolerance of uncertainty Quote "So whether a person in 2016 was a strongly committed Trump supporter or a strongly committed Clinton supporter, it doesn't matter. What matters is that an aversion to uncertainty only exacerbates how similarly two conservative brains or two liberal brains respond when consuming political content."

The creatures, along with other equipment for experiments, will head to the ISS aboard Space X's Falcon 9 rocket. Its hoped that the experiments will be able to help scientists understand the effects of spaceflight. The launch at 13:29 EDT (17:29 GMT) will be broadcast live by Nasa."
