PLANETARY DEFENSE GAINING VERA RUBIN OBSERVATORY IN CHILE AND NEO SURVEYOR IN ORBIT: 1/4: Impact: How Rocks from Space Led to Life, Culture, and Donkey Kong Hardcover – by Greg Brennecka (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Impact-Rocks-Space-Culture-Donkey/dp/0063078929/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Impact argues that Earth would be a lifeless, inhospitable piece of rock without being fortuitously assaulted with meteorites throughout the history of the planet. These bombardments transformed Earth's early atmosphere and delivered the complex organic molecules that allowed life to develop on our planet. While meteorites have provided the raw materials for life to thrive, they have radically devastated life as well, most famously killing off the dinosaurs and paving the way for humans to evolve to where we are today. As noted meteoriticist Greg Brennecka explains, meteorites did not just set us on the path to becoming human, they helped direct the development of human culture. Meteorites have influenced humanity since the start of civilization. Over the centuries, meteorite falls and other cosmic cinema have started (and stopped) wars, terrified millions, and inspired religions throughout the world. 1957

Impact argues that Earth would be a lifeless, inhospitable piece of rock without being fortuitously assaulted with meteorites throughout the history of the planet. These bombardments transformed Earth's early atmosphere and delivered the complex organic molecules that allowed life to develop on our planet. While meteorites have provided the raw materials for life to thrive, they have radically devastated life as well, most famously killing off the dinosaurs and paving the way for humans to evolve to where we are today. As noted meteoriticist Greg Brennecka explains, meteorites did not just set us on the path to becoming human, they helped direct the development of human culture. Meteorites have influenced humanity since the start of civilization. Over the centuries, meteorite falls and other cosmic cinema have started (and stopped) wars, terrified millions, and inspired religions throughout the world.

More than a hundred million people watched the Netflix movie Don't Look Up, which focused on our fear that something could crash into our planet from space and destroy it. But what if things that come from space don't just have the potential to destroy life but also to create it? That's Greg Brennecka's argument, and he joins Indre on today's episode to talk all about it. Greg is a staff scientist and cosmochemist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, whose research has appeared in Science, Nature, and The Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS). He won the prestigious Sofja Kovalevskaja fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to study the early solar system and is a leader in understanding how things from space affect us down here on Earth. His new book is Impact: How Rocks from Space Led to Life, Culture, and Donkey Kong, and he discusses it and so much more (including Tom Selleck and his famous mustache) with Indre here today.

Greg Brennecka, author of "Impact: How Rocks from Space Led to Life, Culture, and Donkey Kong." Brennecka has been studying meteorites for most of his professional life.
This week on The Cosmic Companion, we look at meteorites, and the role they play in shaping our planet and the history of the human race. We will be talking with Greg Brennecka, author of Impact How Rocks from Space Led to Life, Culture, and Donkey Kong. Earth is constantly impacted by material from space. Most of this debris is small - the size of an apple seed or smaller. As these pebbles from space race through our atmosphere, they burn away as meteors, or shooting stars, which can, sometimes, be seen by curious eyes gazing upward to the heavens. Occasionally, some of the larger pieces survive their incendiary sojourn through our atmosphere, landing on Earth as meteorites. * We Love Science! * Win a free copy of Impact by Greg Brennecka - enter by Valentine's Day! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-cosmic-companion/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-cosmic-companion/support
