Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

So, you're ready to build a life detection mission? But what exactly will you look for...? 🧪🛰️🔭 We've dropped a paper in "Astrobiology" (led by Enya Keigo at ISAS JAXA) doing a BIG comparison of the ways you could find alien livin' action. AND it's open access 📖: www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/...

This came from a super fun thread where ppl posted about run-ins with celebs that didn’t go well, e.g. embarrassing. And I thought that @philplait.bsky.social would like to know that he was mentioned in it along with the likes of Keanu Reeves, Lee Pace, Patrick Stewart, and Sir Ian McKellen! 🤩👍🏼⭐️
