Keith’s note: Reading NASAWatch you might think that this site has a preoccupation with clumsy projects (like SLS) that are over budget, behind schedule, and lacking in terms of mission focus. That is not representative of NASA as a whole. Here is one example – I saw this article in Science last week and thought that this research was worth re-featuring – especially given that a bunch of science is […]

CASIS Tweeter Needs a Biology Class

Godwin: @ZEROGSI is changing the genome without changing the DNA. Avoids GMO issues. #SiSpaceBiz — ISS National Lab (@ISS_CASIS) October 18, 2013 Keith’s note: Yes, Twitter has its limitations when it comes to saying things in 140 characters.

More Evidence that Meteorites Can Carry DNA Building Blocks

NASA Research Shows DNA Building Blocks Can Be Made in Space, NASA (With video) “Scientists have detected the building blocks of DNA in meteorites since the 1960s, but were unsure whether they were created in space or resulted from contamination by terrestrial life. The latest research indicates certain nucleobases — the building blocks of our genetic material — reach the Earth on meteorites in greater diversity and quantity than previously […]
