Scientists spot sugar in interstellar space for the first time ever

Dude!

First we get the sugar, then we get the power, then we get the women.

The dust that pervades the cloud’s cold, dark depths is key. Dust offers surfaces for atoms and molecules to glom onto, allowing them to become larger and more complex; it also blocks ultraviolet radiation and other high-energy light that could otherwise tear apart bigger compounds as they grow. Deeper in the clouds, more dust blocks more radiation, temperatures drop, and water and carbon dioxide ices coat the dust grains, along with molecules of increasing complexity.

As a biologist, I have a guess, but take it as an informed guess : Pseudo-panspermia is a hypothesis in which life on Earth was created because organic molecules already existed in the universe, and fell on Earth, where the conditions were right for the processes that generate life, like a primordial soup. Discovering complex molecules in space supports the Pseudo-panspermia hypothesis, and if this process happened on Earth, it is possible that it happened in other planets where the conditions were also right.

I can imagine a small amount being created by happenstance but not a large amount

Something's a little OFF here

Milky Way IPA, because we already named a bunch of hops after space names
