Astronaut Donald Pettit champions a theory he developed while studying under Octave Levenspiel at Oregon State University. In short, it is apparent that large winged dinosaurs could not fly under today's atmospheric conditions. Pettit suggests that the solution to dino-flight is that the Earth's atmosphere was much thicker in the past, lending buoyancy to the giant animals while maintaining today's ratios of elemental composition. If this trend is extended long before the dinosaurs we end up with a hypothetical atmosphere as thick as Venus or even more. The theory then raises the question: what events caused the atmosphere to disappear?    Support the podcast by becoming a Patron @DemystifySci  ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ https://www.patreon.com/demystifysci ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª    #ThickAtmosphereTheory #Pterosaurs #NASA   Levenspiel Thick Atmosphere Theory:  http://levenspiel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/DinosaurW.pdf   Esker Thick Atmosphere Theory:  https://www.dinosaurtheory.com/big_dinosaur.html   Check our short-films channel, @DemystifyingScience:  https://youtu.be/1OCL5Lq8m6s   ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ Join the mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S​ ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª    PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying microbial communication at Columbia University.

Thinning Atmosphere Explains Flying Dinos - Dr. Donald Pettit, NASA Astronaut

NASA astronaut Donald Pettit is a veteran of two long-duration stays on the International Space station. During his time in space, Don invented the Zero-G Coffee Cup and for the first time, it allowed astronauts to drink liquids the same way they do on Earth. Since that initial model, the coffee cup has gone through a few different evolutions and will continue to be used in space. On episode 106, Don also talks about his duties as an active astronaut in line to go back up to space, his thoughts on the future of space exploration, and if we are truly alone in the universe.
