[Q&A+] Origin of Oumuamua, Upside Down Venus, Space Station Made of Starships | Q&A 313
Did we ever find out which star Oumuamua came from? Will there be a space station made of Starships? Why is Venus rotating upside down compared to all other planets? And in our free Q&A+ version on Patreon, does life on Earth require the Moon? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A.

Reading a bit on the subject, it doesn't seem likely, as the day/night thermal cycle seems to affect atmospheric "tides" much more than gravity
You gave no context. What exactly are you commenting about here?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I read that the Earth would be a larger, slightly cooler Venus without the Moon to strip away "excess" atmosphere and prevent runaway greenhouse effect.
Do you remember where you read that?
It was once explained to me that the light elements the moon is made of used to be the top layer of earth and those elements would have prevented life.
I would like to mention that I don't like the new format of the Q&A episodes. I know you changed it due to the unfortunate popularity of the shorter episodes, but I much prefer the hour long episode format. Would it be possible to perhaps do both?
Hi
Good evening
Re: Venus falling over. I thought I'd read (heard, or hallucinated?) that it was more likely it became loosely tidally locked and either super rotating winds or gravitational effects of other bodies (Earth, Jupiter), or both, gave it a slight rotation in the wrong direction.
