Unexpected twist , Comet Lovejoy contains a sugar alcohol liquid tail

That is assuming i am in a condition to operate a vehicle before leaving

Oh come on. We'll switch autopilot on. Don't sweat. Cheers.

Sugar you say?

Well expect Jamie Oliver to start demanding we pay taxes for the experience of just a slight lick of its tail.

The alcohol is okay though, the Government bottled minimum pricing on this product, chin chin.

Now I start to wonder why the name Lovejoy, hmmmm?

It's named for the amateur astronomer who discovered it, Terry Lovejoy. He has discovered several major comets.

So when this Comet Lovejoy passes over head, everyone can run outside and lift up their glasses to catch some cheer!

And party like its 1999.

Hmmm.....Mana from heaven...Pass the salt and lemon!

It may the alcohol thinking for me.
But I'm considering putting on some scuba gear, jacking the front end of the propane tank up to point in that comet's direction, saddling up and blasting off.

Awesome! Space-hooch. Zeus-Juice. The rarest drink in the galaxy perfectly chilled and preserved, left to mature for millenia in the pure darkness of deep space.

I see everybody likes the idea, let's go up there and party. .

Now that all the jokes are out of the way.......

Can alcohol be made without yeast?

If not, doesn't this point to yeast being on the comet?

Yes, the same way Iron in space is made without furnaces processing iron ore, or Carbon Monoxide is made without dodgy heaters/stoves/combustion engines.

In space, things are simpler - you get various atoms joining together and forming various molecules. Sometimes, they get "help" from UV radiation from stars, charged particles blowing from stellar winds, and other cosmic mechanisms.

The video I linked in my previous post here actually explains the mechanism, which involves microscopic dust particles and radiation from stars.

Actually I've only found (admittantly a simple Google search) chemical processes of higher forms of chemicals reacting into the simpler ethyl alcohol.

I've also found that just the enzyme that yeast produces will make alcohol without live yeast.

My bet is this comet contains some of these enzymes.

Seems simpler than star dust and radiation causing higher chain chemicals to break down into simpler ones. Unless I'm totally off and a chemist can explain it better.

If you find space beer then that's a biggie as that would at least imply microbial life. ..then again waddo I know..dammit Jim Iam a beer drinker not a distillery expert!!!.

NASA and the rest of the loony toon agencies have never sent anything beyond the Van-Allen belt. Nothing can survive the intense radiation.

I suggest you watch this and see the anti-god agenda going on and have your eyes opened, especially when it was proved Apollo 11 never left low earth orbit and watch how they got caught explaining their camera tricks.

I don't believe it is true

to be clear they have no samples of this and use long theories for this to be accepted

it is a misunderstanding

there are people behind the scenes right now giving high fives and saying see I told you we could get them to believe anything

I don't know how you got 7 stars for your post, but I'm sorry but it smacks of ignorance. And the ATS motto is "deny ignorance". You must really have no idea about science and how it works, to post such a comment. The "long theories" and their application are the reason you can live your modern life, with its comforts and achievements (Ilike spacecraft meeting up with remote planets or comets) without even realising it.

First contacting aliens on a dimming star. And now this. Party animals.....

Life and ALCOHOL exist outside this world. We are now free to leave.

Maybe we're all similar after all. TOO similar.
