N san Francisco apr a life on Earth May have started Over and Over again Nasa says. Rare a super impacts that melted nearly half a  of the planet s surface May have repeatedly wiped put All life during Earth a first billion years according to findings released by n asap Sames research Center the theory is fuelled by data gathered during the Apollo lunar flights that showed a pattern of a asteroid like bodies smashing the Moon billions of years ago the Agency said. \ -. The barrage of space debris is evident on the Moon. Bilt signs of similar crashes on Earth disappeared Over millions of years As the planets surface shifted. By studying the pattern of lunar impacts scientists could estimate the size and frequency of similar crashes on Earth which was hit by far larger pieces of debris because of its size and gravitational pull the National aeronautics and space administration said. A a it a junk that came from the swirl of primitive matter around the Sun a Nasa spokesman Peter Waller  research some of which has been reported in scientific journals in the last few years concludes that one or More super impacts May have wiped out. Life altogether forcing the life forming process to Start again. Smaller impacts May have wiped out life on land and at the Waters surface. But primitive creatures deep within the Ocean managed to survive the smaller hits and continued to evolve said Kevin Zahnle a research or at the Ames research Center in Mountain View. The theory challenges assumptions that Tife began just once in tide pools or brackish Ponds. Gerald Joyce of the Scripps research Institute in la Jolla calif., said nasal a findings Are refinements of. The a Impact frustration theory developed at the Cali fornia Institute of technology in Pasadena during the late 1980s the theory first published by Kevin Maher and David Stevenson of the California Institute of technology holds that a series of meteorite crashes big enough to vaporize oceans and kill off All life a frustrated Quot life in its attempts to evolve.

A of course one of nasal a goals is to look for the possibility of life  frustration theory says that even though water was present it Wasny to guaranteed for a Long enough period of time for life to he a come  still Stevenson warned that the findings Are highly Quot Uncertain. A nobody knows How life , so it tends to be very speculative Quot he said. By studying the Moons surface and contemplating the frequency and strength of impacts on Earth Nasa scientists also estimated the maximum time trial was available for life to form is million years. Flip Span was the most time that elapsed Between asteroid strikes Nasa planet Logist Verne Sherbeck said.

Quot it helps  whether life could have. Occurred elsewhere in the same kind of harsh Impact environment Quot Sherbeck said. The asteroid like bodies Raveling at about 40,000 Mph were left Over from the formation of the planets chunks of debris responsible for the super impacts May have been the size of California Waller said a Over the Earth a first billion years. Perhaps two Quot super impacts by 500-Milc-diameter, California sized bodies May have totally sterilized our planet.

To leave Jet in midair Anchorage Alaska up a Federal magistrate wednesday ordered a Man held without bail for breaking an. Inner window of a jumbo Jet and trying to open a rear door 40,000 feet Over the North Pacific. The Jet Vivus diverted to Anchorage who Ere authorities arrested the passenger.

It said Bahia founded by Igor Dpi Trotsky of new York City a native of Latvia has plans to lease two 205-seat Boeing 767-200er aircraft for the new York Leningrad and new York Riga services and to lease two Boeing 737200 aircraft for the connecting service. The transportation department said if found Bahia financially fit a to operate the kind of services it is . Calls to the Delaware department of insurance were not answered. The transportation department dismissed criticism trom the air transport association. 1 lie Trade association of major . Airlines said Bahia has no air service that can support operations to and from the soviet Union but the department said.
