Ribozymes

Yes, I have been off the airwaves for awhile, but I haven't been lazy! I've been working on my channel and promotion, as well as joining forums etc, doing a tonne of reading and meeting some actual honest to gosh astrobiologists! It's been a lot of fun, but I intend to get back into these podcasts. So, I'll talk to you soon!

Hello there! A plain human look at some murky goodness. Do things lurk in the atmosphere of Venus? It seems impossible, right? What about Titan? Take yourself on a VR tour of this mysterious moon, using some old skool VR- your imagination! Music: Incompetech.com Cellphone interference sample: MrAuralization, Freesound.org Find me on social media, talking to anyone interested!

Welcome back! In this episode I chat about an alien stowaway in our solar system, as well as travel forward to spend some time in the unlucky shoes of a space cop patrolling the space around Ceres. Why? To talk a little about how death might work in space!

Life didn't start out complex. I give an overview of Ribozymes, some tricky little bits of RNA that may be the grand parents of everything. Really!

Water is everywhere it seems. I talk about that. Wheres the most unlikely place to find water do you think? Also, some news from NASA'S TESS mission?

Visit Phobos. It's not boring! Be a Martian moon! Watch a real Mars rise! Enjoy some really amazing views! Sold? Is this a podcast or a travel brochure?

We wouldn't explore the stars alone, but could the lifeforms that accompany us make it if we disappeared? The first of a series of chats on this topic...

I never made it in the science world, but I've reached people who would otherwise have been forgotten.. That's a big deal.

A brief look at some exciting missions exploring the babies of the solar system, plus Led Zeppelin!

I discuss planetary engineering taken to its logical extreme. A big job to be sure, but surely possible. A generational project? Find me on my blog and explore my indulgent ranting on youtube, facebook and other social media black holes.
