   I’m assuming the lunchroom has a sink. Use it and stop cvomplaining.

   I worked in a hospital – the fungal grouts on cups/plates left in the break rom was appalling. Doctors have no sense of hygiene.

   Unobtanium cups are recommended for drinking my Nuclear Coffee for more than one reason
   

   
   It’s the only substance known that can contain both my Nuclear Coffee and the occasional Nuclear Coffee created mutation

   “Unobtanium cups.” are hard to find here.

   Some folks view the, uuuh, ‘Fur’ as extra insulation. Keeps the coffee hotter longer.

   Funny, I hear a lot of people spout off that life on earth got somehow seeded from Martian life. Why isn’t it just as likely that if there is life on Mars, it was seeded from earth?

   Because gravity pulls things inward toward the sun not outward? Spores would go inward, not saying I believe the theory but inward seems much more logical then outward. Also life would have deleveloped on Mars before Earth since it would have cooled earlier.

   Earth is more massive than Mars, so its escape velocity is higher — which means that a much larger (therefore rarer) collision would have been needed to blast life-engendering material off Earth onto a Mars-intersecting orbit, rather than the other way around. Still possible, of course, but not as likely. And since Earth and Mars are both in free orbit around the sun, any collision debris would be also, and as likely to go outward from the sun as inward toward it.
   .
   Besides, organic chemistry has been seen to be so common in the universe that it’s just as likely that life originated in both places — or maybe neither, and it was seeded from somewhere else — and survived wherever it found a comfy home. That doesn’t make it any less wonderful: even here, it took life a billion years to come up with anything as sophisticated as a slime mold, and another couple of billion to come up with plants, animals…and us, just yesterday or so (comparatively speaking).
   .
   I hope this doesn’t degenerate into another debate about Genesis and the Bible…it just isn’t necessary. Galileo said it best: the Bible tells how to go to Heaven, not how the heavens go. (Galileo was something of a smartass, which is the real reason he got in hot water with the Church at the time.)

    Just a minor correction, Panspermia, is a hypothesis. Evolution, germs cause disease and gravity are theories.

    Panspermia is an interesting idea but it begs the question of life formation. Something Charles Darwin never addresses. So far the experimental evidences show that organic molecules automatically come up with the necessary amino acids for life. Certain ones form faster under freezing temperatures. Most unexpected. For 200 million years the earth was caught in a deep freeze. From pose to equator from 800 mya to 600 mya.
