Posting today's Monitor in John Pavlus' stead...
Space methane suggests the possibility of space cows, space robots are serving their NASA masters (for now), and why is everything in space made of matter? RIP Arthur C. Clarke.

You state that combining methane and water in "just the right way" will produce amino acids. This is untrue unless "just the right way" includes adding a source of nitrogen since amino acids contain nitrogen by definition. Neither methane nor water contain nitrogen atoms from which to build the amine groups that all amino acids contain at least one of.

Great episode.. Saw it online.I usually download them to my iPod, but this one was rejected because it was "in a format that wasn't supported by my iPod"... I have a one year old classic model and the latest update... Have you changed anything?
