    Draft version May 28, 2020 Typeset using LATEX default style in AASTeX63 Evidence that 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua) was composed of molecular hydrogen ice. Darryl Seligman1 and Gregory Laughlin2 1 Dept. of the Geophysical Sciences, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637 2Dept. of Astronomy, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06517 (Received April 14, 2020; Revised May 22, 2020; Accepted May 28, 2020) Submitted to ApJL ABSTRACT `Oumuamua (I1 2017) was the first macroscopic (l ∼ 100 m) body observed to traverse the inner solar system on an unbound hyperbolic orbit. Its light curve displayed strong periodic variation, and it showed no hint of a coma or emission from molecular outgassing. Astrometric measurements indicate that 'Oumuamua experienced non-gravitational acceleration on its outbound trajectory, but energy balance arguments indicate this acceleration is inconsistent with a water ice sublimation-driven jet of the type exhibited by solar system comets. We show that all of `Oumaumua's observed properties can be explained if it contained a significant fraction of molecular hydrogen (H2) ice. H2 sublimation at a rate proportional to the incident solar flux generates a surface-covering jet that reproduces the observed acceleration. Mass wasting from sublimation leads to monotonic increase in the body axis ratio, explaining `Oumuamua's shape. Back-tracing `Oumuamua's trajectory through the Solar System permits calculation of its mass and aspect ratio prior to encountering the Sun. We show that H2-rich bodies plausibly form in the coldest dense cores of Giant Molecular Clouds, where number densities are of order n ∼ 105, and temperatures approach the T = 3 K background.

Tomorrow will see easier and cheaper access to Space, satellite servicing, in-orbit manufacturing, human private spaceflights to ever increasing number of Orbital Stations, road to the Moon, Asteroids, Mars. It seems fundamental to make sure we can rely on robust, reliable, frequent and affordable access to and from LEO with both automatic systems and human missions; such systems are the bricks with which all the future operations in Space will be built. Independent human access to space from Europe for our astronauts is a key to any future in Space. It has been studied in depth since the 80's with Hermes Spaceplane, then through numerous studies, pre- development activities, and demonstrations such as ARD, X38-CRV or IXV, which now allow Europe to reconsider such an endeavor with a much higher confidence.

Last Tuesday councilmen Mike Klein and Fred Valtin stepped down after completing two terms (eight years) on the council. Both had served as mayor - Valtin three times in 1984,1985 and 1987. Klein, just finishing up his second stint as His Honor, served the first time in 1983. Valtin, who is still convalescing from a heart attack sufferd last June, said he was deeply touched by the honor but he was "confident the city is in good hands."
