Other Worlds

G'Day Guys,

I have been looking throught he net on what is involved in making a planet habitable. I found a very interesting read called "The Astrobiology Primer: An Outline of General Knowledge—Version 1, 2006". It can be found on the following url:
http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/pdfplus/10.1089/ast.2006.6.735

It is a cross discipline approach. Each section is written by an expert in it's topic. There are further references to check out at the end of each section.

I found it pretty fertile for ideas about what other planetary options there are.

Justin.

Bed time now, but I'm definitely hitting that.

You know, this is one of the things that I always liked about Traveller, and especially Traveller gamers - the way the game links back to real life and real knowledge. I've gotten a much broader intro to chemistry, biology, astronomy, physics etc. from Traveller than I ever did in school. Having said that, this paper looks daunting - 79 pages of scientific terms definitely not written for non-scientists. I'll give it a go all the same, to see what I can learn from it to make my TU better and more developed. Thanks for the link!

Cheers,

Bob W.
