Can bugs survive in space?

hmm,

Emmanuel Velikovsky skirted around the subject in Worlds In Collision. He noted how plagues of insects and diseases commonly followed close encounters with comets in the past. He never said the plagues came directly from the comets, just that there was a connection somehow.

I guess you make up your own mind as to whether the plagues came off the comets, or whether the comets just somehow made them worse.

Saw a thread that mentions how bugs use the stars for orientation... what if... they came from the stars man...

Very interesting, thank you for contributing that.

It makes you wonder, take a fly and put him in the freezer, pull him out - yup - frozen. Take a hair dryer to him, watch him resurrect.

same thing happens with fish...

one word

...spiders

Insects still breathe oxygen.

Sorry.

I do agree that insects are certainly different though...

However, a variety of recent empirical findings support a link between oxygen and insect size, including: (i) most insects develop smaller body sizes in hypoxia, and some develop and evolve larger sizes in hyperoxia; (ii) insects developmentally and evolutionarily reduce their proportional investment in the tracheal system when living in higher aPO2, suggesting that there are significant costs associated with tracheal system structure and function; and (iii) larger insects invest more of their body in the tracheal system, potentially leading to greater effects of aPO2 on larger insects. Together, these provide a wealth of plausible mechanisms by which tracheal oxygen delivery may be centrally involved in setting the relatively small size of insects and for hyperoxia-enabled Palaeozoic gigantism.

WHAT?!

SPIDERS IN SPACE?! FOR FUCKINGREAL?

Meet our ancestors.

Hell yeah, :love3: VICE
