CO2, nations in orbit, landings and other things

[Drashner1]

Hi,
I want to highlight some news i read these days. The news are from real world, but we could discuss OA.

Nano spike catalysts convert carbon dioxide directly ethanol. This could impact Greenhouse effect.

Neat

Asgardia, a "fictional" nation in Earth outer space. People right now are subscribing to this.

This looks like it could be interesting - although the website doesn't seem to have a lot of content on it yet. Or maybe I'm missing it?

I think this landing could be interesting.

I've been deep in the weeds of late, but I thought I saw something about a space probe landing and then going silent or something. Was that this one or something else? Or do I just need to get my medication changed?

Cathelicidins in the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii). With this we can fight supermicrobes.

This might have potential in OA as the basis for future disease treatments in the Interplanetary Age or perhaps disease resistance creating gene tweaks a bit later on.

Thanks for these

Todd
