The KRISS vector changes the angle of recoil to avoid muzzle climb and perceived recoil according to the Wikipedia.

You would still be propelled in the opposite direction.

Unless you were expelling mass with the same force in the exact opposite direction, firing a gun is going to impart force upon you and cause you to move.

Mass is not irrelevant in a vacuum btw (or in micro gravity which is what I think you meant to say).

Competition and scarcity drive evolution.

Aside from some global hive mind species it’s likely that all intelligent species will have at least one stage like ours.

I mean there’s a reason you used the term apes - our closest common ancestor.

This is /r/Space not /r/aliens.

Every new discovery doesn’t have to be related to aliens to not be click bait.

Although just saying “The heaviest element yet, Barium, has been detected in an exoplanet’s atmosphere.” Would have been easy enough.

This is an interesting discovery though:

> But even so, the scientists were surprised to find barium, which is 2.5 times heavier than iron, in the upper atmospheres of WASP-76 b and WASP-121 b. "Given the high gravity of the planets, we would expect heavy elements like barium to quickly fall into the lower layers of the atmosphere," explains co-author Olivier Demangeon, a researcher also from the University of Porto and IA.
