Guard Dog Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Breaking: New Semi-Synthetic Organism Can Make Molecules We've Never Seen Before. I was just about to post this from a different source. https://apnews.com/d5593368a4b849e792e385550823cab1/Expanding-DNA's-alphabet-lets-cells-produce-novel-proteins Fascinating stuff. Of course as a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction I read news stories like this than think "will this be the trigger?"

rjshae Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Inactive star doesn't mean the star is turned off. It still radiates energy that can warm a nearby planet. Seems you know your stuff and I am lazy to dig it up so enlighten me, why its called inactive than? That means it's not magnetically active. Active red dwarfs are called flare stars because the magnetic activity can cause huge flare ups in luminosity. The coronal mass ejections from those flares can steadily strip away a nearby planet's atmosphere, essentially making it uninhabitable. A red dwarf gets less active as it ages and slows its spin, suggesting that this is a fairly old red dwarf. Of course, it may have already stripped away the planet's atmosphere some time in the past... Edited November 30, 2017 by rjshae 2 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

smjjames Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Ambitious! They're also launching one of Elon Musks cars. I suppose one might ask why, but it does make sense to test with a payload, and the car would be cheap compared to most sattelites for sure. Plus heck of a marketing.
