Astrobiology Magazine

A.DIM reported problems (topic Unable to post new thread?) with the Astrobiology URL above, so I thought I'd play.

There was very strange behavior, related to content of Title field. When I used "Life Falling Back to Earth (for A.DIM)", Preview Post would fail. When I shortened the title to "X" Preview Post worked. I lengthened the title to the present one. That worked. I don't get it, unless maybe the forum database is just hosed.

A.DIM maybe can proceed to give this topic the A.DIM treatment.

Thanks, 01101001!!!

I'd been trying to post this since last week when it was published.

The "A.DIM treatment," in this case is simply to point out:

"Our results enlarge the number of potential organisms that might be able to reseed a planetary surface after early very large impact events, and suggest that such a re-seeding scenario on a planetary surface is possible with diverse organisms,” the researchers report."

You gave it a better treatment than I could have.

I think it's safe to link to. Once again, with the full magazine article title, that's:

Astrobiology Magazine: Life Falling Back to Earth

(I think I can even use that longer title in this forum article title; the only trouble was using it for a forum topic title. Still can't fathom what the problem was.)

Hey, I wouldn't mind if I nice beef steak fell onto my barbecue. I'll hope it, if it would help.

This actually seems like a possibly testable idea. After major impacts might microflora perhaps local to the impact event end up with a global distribution. A mechanism for dispersion and faunal turn over in the wake of an impact extinction event.
