So, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory apparently has a thermal vacuum testing chamber called CITADEL (Cryogenic Ice Testing, Acquisition Development, and Excavation Laboratory).

Really? Acquisition Development and Excavation?

I guess JPL is just Aperture Science now.

No matter how the scientists revisited their readings, the signal stayed strong. They concluded that K2-18b may in fact harbor a tremendous supply of dimethyl sulfide in its atmosphere, thousands of times higher than the level found on Earth. This would suggest that its Hycean seas are brimming with life.

1/2 The subtext here is the current all out assault on our #Science institutions (along with everything else) .The realization at places like #NASA and #JPL are no different than those at #NOAA and #NWS. It is sickening and stunning at the same time. #Depression and #Outrage are inevitably coming into evidence. #Science and academia can and should seek new partners for work…

In 5AM STORYTALK’s latest podcast, Kevin Peter Hand – director of the NASA JPL’s Ocean Worlds Lab and real-life adventurer – discusses the search for life in our outer solar system, the intersection of art and science, and why he's optimistic about our future (no, really).
