And they just found an ocean on Ceres. Is that in the book?

#5Ok, but:
1. Is it doable to maintain a 21-cm thick layer of fungus, at all, let alone in space, for a prolonged period of time?
2. Wouldn't it be easier/simpler to replicate this radio-synthesis mechanism in a non-organic setting?

No, but the existence of water on Ceres was retconned in the show, now it’s again not accurate since while we discovered it has water between the book and the show we didn’t knew that it had that much water.

#7Why are so many videos using computer generated voice overs?
I find find it a real turn off.

Building a living wall isn’t hard, I have one with moss in my flat it does wonders for air quality (even if not actual one just the smell/perception is enough), fungus is easy to grow - feed it shit and keep it in the dark does work.

This is pretty much one the hardest things to do in science today, replicating complex biological processes in a non-biological manner.
Insulin while being the first human protein to be synthesized today is still created using biotechnology by using bacteria to manufacture it simply because of how difficult it is to synthesize proteins.

The videos are written, produced, generated and posted by autonomous GPT-3 bots. The first time any human became aware of this video was at the same time you became aware of it, by following the link from HN.
