	our old friend Phylae/Rosetta continues to deliver the goods O2 coming from the comet http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2015/10/28/first-detection-of-molecular-oxygen-at-a-comet/

	Soo-o-o, just maybe, ALL of the earth's oxygen did NOT come from plants afterall? __________________ ...and the Devil said: "...yes, but it's a DRY heat..!"

	Maybe if I were a superintelligent (whatever that means) alien lifeform and I wanted to see how one of my science experiments in colonization (call that Earth) and its lower lifeforms (call that us), responses to various external stimuli (call that Phylae), I could send a falseflag (call that O2 spectra), and watch how the humans assume that they discovered something new. After all, they already "know" what happens when stimuli (asteroids) make a direct hit... __________________ “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” Ben Franklin.

	Think of it as an oxygen bar in space.

	It could be. I wonder why there are no sulphates (SOx) including H₂SO₄ and CO₂ as well. Pretty interesting. __________________ The doctor said "just one post or reply aday in CR4, take it or leave it". I said, "what does that mean?"

	when I read this I thought of the theories about comets and their "possible" role in seeding our planet when it was young with various forms of life. this finding enhances those possibilities
