Cool, eh? Usually they're Venus-like, but oxygen does seem surprisingly common so it can be on habitable worlds too. Regardless of its prevalence, though, one thing I can say is that if an independent Martian colony is possible, then so is one on Proxima-b.
Excellent, fun meditation.
I didn't know that there was a way to get an oxygen atmosphere around a planet without life on it, that's really interesting.

This is incredible, thanks for doing the work of parsing out the info from the heavy academic papers!
Good to here from you again. I hope you are well. And IMO this system, this galaxy and this universe only gets more surprising.
I want to get back to a more regular schedule this spring. It's been a brutal winter, but I have numerous projects on the go.
