Rapid Colonization on Asteroid Ryugu Sample with Dr. Matthew Genge

[@theCodyReeder]

It definitely seems like life can indeed survive and thrive in astroid material. In my own experimentation I showed that algae was quite happy to use meteorite dust as mineral supplement. This is fantastic news for future colonization.

[@rrrrrr-d4g]

Cody your videos are amazing and enthusiasm for science is contagious. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world. Hope you are doing well buddy.

[@Col.Canuck]

As a layman I really appreciate your delivery of information. It makes it more accessable and enjoyable to people like myself....Thank you

[@mikeunleashed1]

those were some juicy questions john, so glad we have someone like you hosting these interviews!

[@snoddyification]

This channel makes me wish i had of tried harder at school. However i am likely only aware of this due to the presenter's ability to explain things in a way that i can nearly comprehend. Thank you.

[@EventHorizonShow]

It’s never too late to learn new things or skills. We’re glad you’re here.

[@JonnoPlays]

New and improved intro to match the episode content? I like it!

[@Hoodlum555]

A scientist with a great sense of humor, I bet he's a lot of fun in the pub. Nice interview.

[@Skumbagbrad]

Here we go!

[@jchoneandonly]

John should always say "live" like he does in the outtro of his Solo videos. Would be hilarious

[@Metaldetectiontubeworldwide]

Yes peace of mind ❤

[@anautonomousagent]

Curious if they did a DNA sequencer analysis of these microbes they found or did they just "assume" terrestrial oh no need to do a sequence?

[@dzhang4459]

It's virtually impossible to sequence DNA of a few microbes. There's just not enough genetic material. It was probably fairly easy to tell they were from Earth just by looking at them.

[@anautonomousagent]

@@dzhang4459 You are saying this news is about a "few" microbes?!? One microbe entered and it multipled what 2 or 3 times and died to produce a "few microbes"! (Few is used the same way as couple and also for a number slightly greater than a couple. Several is usually used for a number greater than a couple and a few.) And we can't sample their DNA? But we can compare ancient human DNA 40,000 years old with modern DNA...

[@friedrichjunzt]

Yeah, why didn't they allow them to multiply enough so they could get DNA samples

[@AkaRyrye83]

This was exactly my first thought

[@TheNasblis]

Can’t wait 🎉

[@zapfanzapfan]

Ah, excellent, tonight's bedtime story!

[@pewpeat]

This is how it all starts

[@HiR0SHi.the.D0G]

A beautiful finding on that asteroid stuff ☄️

[@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968]

Another excellent upload. Cosmic dust to Dinosaur fossils.

[@davidchapman370]

My question is did we contaminate the astroid with life from earth Because i now have an image in my head of a sneezing astroid "Ahh...Ahh...AHH -CHOOooo..... Ow, No!"

[@SMac86]

I was wondering that myself.

[@CaliforniaBushman]

Isn't this how The Blob starts?

[@SMac86]

What are the chances we left microbes on the asteroid itself?

[@SirAntoniousBlock]

That space food will get you every time. 😵

[@AkaRyrye83]

Thank you, this was quite an interesting conversation! I do have a very small criticism in regards to how you say "zodiacal". I have always heard it pronounced: 'zoh-die-a-kul'. If I am mistaken, someone please correct me.

[@TheRainHarvester]

Ahhh-chooo 😂

[@allauddin732]

Uk is delaying the whole process.

[@xtexasredx6051]

So amazing, hopefully its not earth contamination.

[@Joel-ml5bg]

Making Asteroids Great Again!

[@derp195]

Ugh. Please, not here, for the love of god. It doesn’t even make any sense.

[@hupekyser]

This is offensive to asteroids who identify as non binary systems

[@Shandinho]

That's actually quite funny. Others may need to lighten up a bit and get over themselves!

[@Joel-ml5bg]

@derp195 Try less hate and more Great. You'll get it.

[@seancdavidson]

​@@derp195 grow up it's a joke

[@getbendt2970]

Organic molecules are great but Protein Folding is required.

[@rogerjones332]

Panspermia

[@rezadaneshi]

We gauge intelligent life evolving on earth in 4 billion years. We also know Jupiter and Saturn move closer to the sun and reshuffled all of the planets orbits. Maybe Earth moved into the Goldilocks zone of the sun 600 million years ago as we are getting closer to the inner edge of the Goldilocks zone and some of our global warming effects are from the estimated 2°C rise in temperature for this century.

[@RealRavi]

@@rezadaneshi *most of our climate warming is due to increased exposure to solar radiation, not CO2

[@rezadaneshi]

Good point. As well sun is losing mass and bloating that pushes it's G zone further out. I'm seeing the merit in Mars.

[@Kohyoti]

Whether the microbes were there to begin with, or not, panspermia is proven either way.

[@acmelka]

Astroid life might be better

[@rodClark717]

No internet tho

[@terrymckenzie8786]

I don’t believe the first few minutes of this video at all😂

[@BabbittdaWabbitt]

You don’t have to. Belief is the end of intelligent inquiry.

[@terrymckenzie8786]

@ believe is different from belief.

[@Duane_Day]

@@terrymckenzie8786 Believing and belief are two sides of the same coin. If you believe something, you inherently hold a belief in it. While they serve different grammatical roles (verb vs. noun), the act of believing naturally creates a belief, so saying they’re entirely separate doesn’t hold up.
