I agree, we have to read the papers wherein they published their protocols and also trust the scientists did procedures as specified and everyone handled things with high skepticism. I assume they had a control container that came back with the capsule that had non-Bennu asteroid simulant in order to verify their cleanliness procedures.

Read my other comment.

All life on Earth has a common origin. This is easily provable --- we all have nearly the same ribosome sequence. No organisms have ever been found with a wildly different ribosome code (let alone different molecular/genetic system). It's virtually impossible for that to happen unless life emergence was EXTREMELY improbable and we got super lucky. Not unless there's only one way to make a ribosome ... which too is a provably ridiculous and incorrect assertion. Now how the hell is that? It means no other mechanism of life emerged other than LUCA 2 or 3 billion years ago. You might claim "LUCA killed off all its competitors!!1!!" Bro, that sound plausible to you? Think about what you're saying .. LUCA's descendants were able to go to every possible life niche on Earth and displace all other types of life? That makes very little sense.

But that's my great great great grandpa.

Well, why weren't they issued a ticket? I'm not sure how the "points on license" thing will work. The way it's being handled now may be OK .. they need to show that it won't happen again easily and also a multi-tier safety system such that the car as a rule would always overtake stopped-in-lane vehicles slowly such that it can rapidly brake in time to avoid an accident (that's in case it for some reason didn't recognize the schoolbus vs. other vehicle specifically).

Obviously, I was talking about parking fines. In fact I said parking fines..

They did pay the fines. https://insideevs.com/news/754...
By the way, humans in SF and other major cities pay lots of parking tickets all the time, it's a money-making scam of every city.

Why'd they make it out of bronze? It looks way uglier than Robocop.

You can't have a product or service without some lawyer having to make money off it too.

Planes don't just collapse like that.

Itâ(TM)s easier fat.

Robots will bring back high paying jobs. With robots, more things can get done cheaper. Projects can be at larger scale and fancier.

Yeah let's just roll over and die?

Be understanding, he's trying to push the Overton window over to full on racism and fascist tribalism.
