These are all problems we have found in zero-G, which is what the ISS was designed to test. Now we can try simulating gravity to characterize how much gravitation is required to offset what medical effects.
Or is it that it's very expensive and extremely dangerous?
Which is why human space missions have had to wait until private entrepreneurs got involved. Because of the high political costs of failures involving human life, governments can be adventurous in space only if some military imperative is involved. This was precisely how JFK pitched the Apollo missions.
All single payer means is the savings and economy of scale you get from buying in bulk. When the Canadian health system buys a million doses of Harvoni at once, it pays substantially less than the $1000 per pill you have seen advertised.
So... why can't every buyer of health care be able to purchase in bulk? Governments and charities, insurance companies, private buyer clubs. Your suggested reforms are a good start, but why can't we buy drugs on the world market from countries that have testing regimes comparable to ours? In my wife's hometown of Basel, a major center for pharma research and manufacturing in an economy with testing regimes comparable to the FDA and personnel standards as good as our own, you can go to a pharmacist and get elementary problems diagnosed and treated right on the spot.
So, aliens are basically bombarding us with meteoroids armed with the old "pull my finger" gag. The gall of them! Can't we build a space wall to keep these stinking meteoroids out?
Dyson Corp. has sent Trump a proposal for building a space wall, but the cost would be in the quintillions of dollars. Just to fund a project of that size, we would have to cancel the F-35 program.
Liberal and Conservative are just bullshit labels that the 1% uses to divide us. It's no accident either, this has been going on for a century with right wing radicals such as William Randolph Hearst controlling the media...
What more relevant is that at the time when Hearst controlled the media, the Democrats were the party that built things, and was highly popular for doing so. Now it's the party that prevents anything from getting built.
As soon as trading in Bitcoin futures was announced, it legitimized in the eyes of speculators the whole idea of cryptocurrencies as an investment. This has taken place long before this whole class of commodity is even viable as a currency. Let the mining algorithms and forks proliferate for a few years until someone comes up with a version of the blockchain that supports a realistic number of transactions per second when used as money, and a money supply that can grow at a rate that makes it usable as money. Then and only then can cryptocurrency trade alongside such mighty currencies as the Mexican peso.
Futures markets exist so that merchants and fiduciaries can self-insure against the risks of holding or owing the commodity. Who is going to use Bitcoin futures as a hedge - North Korean ransomeware developers?
Just yesterday I encountered a semi-old couple who were perfectly happy working out of an RV doing seasonal deliveries for Amazon and giving Uber rides as a fill-in.
But still negligible compared to the environmental value of the electric car.
The stupid "it takes carbon to make it" argument is a cookie-cutter way of trashing any manufactured product. That's why Greens always use it against some technology when they have run out of other arguments.
What you mean is that right at the moment, gas is cheaper than nuclear. We don't know how much gas there is left at current rates of consumption, and how bad the carbon problem will get in the meantime. While we enjoy this cheap gas holiday we should be taking the opportunity to define a standardized nuclear design that we can crank out in factories by the time we suddenly find the gas price rising again.
Because small-source renewables generate little energy per square meter of device, deploying enough of them to feed the grid means energy sprawl. My Christmas card this year is that cartoon of Santa and his reindeer dangling from a wind turbine.
For a cleaner environment and zero carbon, we could take the opportunity to move from fossil to nuclear while Republicans are still in office. I seeno sign of such an initiative from Trump, though.
It can be moved into other cryptocurrencies. Ethereum and Burstcoin come to mind.
But when Bitcoin collapses, probably at a time of high transaction volume when the verification time suddenly stretches into weeks so that nobody knows who owns what, there will be little sentiment for piling into another cryptocurrency. Instead, those who cash out will go into something like gold or Swiss francs.
I can only report what I saw: subways where everyone was well behaved no matter where in the city I was going, even if I got off in a neighborhood of what we would call project housing for the poor: plain concrete high-rises with small neighborhood parks where old people watched over flocks of grandchildren at play. No violence, no graffiti, no fear.
Obviously a fetus becomes a human with full rights at some time during pregnancy, but because it's yet another scientific issue that has become politicized, there are only two positions that one may take:
1. Full human rights begin at the moment of conception ("Life"); 2. Full human rights begin at the instant of birth ("Choice").
You are not permitted to use any other stage of development as your criterion.
Stacking people like cordwood is a lot more environmentally efficient than spreading the same number of people out all over the landscape. I have seen a city of over thirty million that actually works. The trains run on time, up to five subway levels deep plus an elevated level, there's no crime and life is pretty good. Why do cities like that have to be Asian?
Iceland could cash in on this, because not only is a lot of its geothermal energy used for district heating, but the outfall from geothermal power plants is used in the same way - a fraction of the heat is given up to generate power, but there is plenty of heat left over above the temperature of the local environment.
Would Icelanders object to all that energy production going into something like imaginary currency? 70% of the country's electricity output is already going into smelting bauxite that has been imported from thousands of miles away, a trade which is no longer as lucrative as it used to be. the country is already looking at server farms as a way of absorbing the excess power, and generating imaginary money is just one application for servers.
When you retire to San Junipero, it may not be located where you thought it was going to be.

This is so dangerously stupid.
Spotted the pharma exec!

If we put the sphere outside Martian orbit, they will help pay for it.

Perhaps the people that can't afford food should move to Gilroy and save $1000 per month in rent (per bedroom).
And because their diet would be nothing but garlic, you wouldn't have a big concentration of homeless in one place.
Luckily there simply isn't enough money in Bitcoin to result in any political will to bail this greedy fools out.

Also, little political incentive to bail out kidnapers, cartelistas, North Koreans, and ransomware potentates.

Natural selection has brought us this far, and this is where it stops. It's time for us to start exercising intelligent design. Fire up the CRISPRs!

Ocean shipping is dirty as hell!

Want to swipe some Bitcoin?Just follow the tower of oily black smoke and go in with guns blazing..
Here in Arizona, we use old tires to make an asphalt replacement that is longer lasting and quieter to drive on than the traditional material.

But has a Santa Ana ever occurred this late in the year? Generally they strike in October.

Instead of jumping out of windows, the Bitcoin speculators will drown in their basements as their sump pumps, starved of electricity, fail.
