We already knew that exercises causes changes in the body. Changes require proteins. Proteins are encoded on the DNA. So it's not really a surprising discovery that the relevant genes are being activated.
Don't fucking delete your fucking data you fucking dipshit.
Unless, of course, you know that some fucking data is bad, and other fucking data is good. In that case it makes sense to fucking delete the fucking bad data.
Even if you used the entire surface of the moon it would be really small.
Anyway, with all these crazy ideas, it looks like NASA has lost track of its focus here.
Depends on what you mean by "soon". In the early '80s people were laughing about computers trying to play chess. In the late '90s, a (large) computer beat the world champion in a match. Today, a smartphone could do the same.
Humans make silly mistakes with optical illusions too, by the way.
Not as close, but close enough. And even if we wanted to see more, the easiest step would be to use a better telescope. The next easiest would be to send a satellite in a closer orbit around the Sun.
Finding a shorter route to India wasn't a pointless mission. And we know enough about the solar system that we can be reasonably certain that we don't accidentally bump into a luscious planet on our way to Mars or Venus.
You compare seconds vs hours, but you overlook the fact that the R&D phase will take decades vs years. And what's the rush anyway ? Venus isn't going anywhere.

The doubt comes from working backwards from the conclusions they don't like.
Not quite, because the underlying mechanism that causes the expression of certain genes based on certain events evolved itself in Darwinistic process.
Enough with the complainathon.
How would you even start to quantify "larger" in the nature/nurture debate ?

Because countries with a billion+ people can only do one thing at a time ?
You torture the data until they confess.

Probably because A and B have a large overlap in time, combined with poor record keeping at the beginning.
Just as every other national currency is unique
There are plenty of countries where foreign currencies are competing with national currency.
Those are just scams, not pyramid schemes.
Sometimes early investors/pioneers make a lot of profit. That's not the same as a pyramid scheme.

How would you get a Falcon 9 to Venus, and how big would a balloon have to be to carry it ?
Not as close, but close enough. And even if we wanted to see more, the easiest step would be to use a better telescope. The next easiest would be to send a satellite in a closer orbit around the Sun.
If the amount is constant, climate wouldn't change.
They'll probably paint a big smiley face on the blimp, just below the words "Don't Panic" written in large, friendly letters.
We should first try to learn how to walk before we start to run.
Run where, exactly ? It's a cold dark vacuum out there.
Space is no place for fragile meatbags. Let the robots do the exploring.
Would be nice to have a better understanding and earlier predictability of solar events that can take the networks down.
We already have satellites looking at the Sun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...
Indeed. It's going to be much easier to rebuild civilization if you stay here on Earth, and hide in an underground bunker until the worst is over.

In short: it's pointless, but it provides valuable practice for future, equally pointless, missions.
