ethyl alcohol... I thought that was a byproduct of yeast (life) fermentation digesting sugar not a naturally occurring substance...?

I vote that we send settlements there instead of Mars! Lovejoy might be a harsh mistress but won’t leave you dry.

Wine weighs about 8.27 pounds/gallon.
40,000 lbs. per second would be 4,837 gallons of wine/sec.
At 0.2 gallons per bottle (one fifth of a gallon) that would
be 24,200 bottles/sec.

These must be the guys that augered that probe into Mars
when they used metric and english measurements witthout converting them.

I’m guessing that this comet is a prank by extraterrestrial college students from an advanced civilization.

DANG!
