Miscellaneous comments and hypotheses
Quote for today:
Should a traveler give an account of men who were entirely divested of avarice, ambition, and revenge; who knew no pleasure but friendship, generosity, and public spirit, we should immediately detect the falsehood and prove him a liar with the same certitude as if he had stuffed his narration with centaurs and dragons.David Hume

Is Extraterrestrial Life Possible in our Solar System?
Posted on June 23rd, 2010 1 commentSome have speculated it may have evolved on Io, Europa, Mars, etc. If these places can really support life, we should be looking for microbes and, perhaps, more complex life forms on earth that could be adapted and transplanted there. If there is anything like a “prime directive” for mankind, it is to insure that the life that has evolved on our planet survives. Transplanting it to other worlds, in whatever form they can support, is something we must do as soon as possible to insure that it does.

The work that’s being carried out by the Curiosity team is a step in this direction.
By the way, I’ve just discovered your blog (via google link to “Israel and the Other Holocaust” and your reference there to Bunin’s “Cursed Days”), and I am blown away by the breadth of your interests and knowledge. Keep up the good work!
