The Expanse Season 2 Wrapup
Just wanted to say I enjoyed the podcast for the season 2 wrapup of The Expanse. Good SciFi is hard to find these days, but this show is standing above the rest.
One bone of contention regarding the discussion of sending our DNA to other planets. We can do that today, but we choose not to. Most all if not all vehicles that land/go close to other planets are kept in extreme clean rooms to avoid contamination (as far as I know). This is so that we don't deposit "life" and contaminate other planets. If we wanted to, "planting" life elsewhere or anywhere would just be a matter of getting the device there was was "infected/seeded". We'd still have to understand evolution to get to humans so that this could happen however.
