X Series - 1953 Stanley Miller Experiment

In 1953, Stanley Miller (with some help), boiled some water, ran some methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide through some tubes, and generated amino acids. Everyone knows about this experiment. It’s a tent-pole of the scientific community (at least in the bio-sciences).

Well. I was lucky enough to get this as one of my recitation papers. Please find my evaluation and responses below.
