The statement
Therefore your assertions, though correct, do not rise to the level of what's being demanded of here with the project.
and my response
Oh, and just what is being "demanded" of this "project"? Most people don't give a darn, because the project is bogus - just an attention-getting stunt done in bad taste. I don't think it rises even to the level of a tempest in a teapot. This non-story should never have seen the light of day. It's just clickbait.
Why anyone would take this seriously is beyond me. The project itself is fake. The guy admits he is trying to get attention for his serious projects.
His behavior is nothing new in this field, where many people act like kids on a sugar high who found their neighbors' meth stash and do things that, at the time, looked like a good idea, but in retrospect, really sucked.
Yes, the purpose of the project is to get attention by fanning the flames with some very low-brow sexual content directed against women. People should be focusing on that. And hopefully github will leave it there so more people can see just how immature this guy really is. Like the Titanic, he can serve as an example of how NOT to do something.
So what you're proposing is that they should still be able to get to the washroom and work the zero-g toilet, wash, wipe, etc. If they can do that, they can also do other things, things that will cause problems. It also won't help keep them from being bored out of their mind - expect psychosis in such situations.
Since when is it the task of others to make one feel comfortable? Do alcohol jokes make recovering alcoholics uncomfortable? Do displays of wealth make the poor feel uncomfortable? Do candy aisles in supermarkets make dieters uncomfortable? Do dogs make victims of dog-attacks uncomfortable?
I answered them:
Do alcohol jokes make recovering alcoholics uncomfortable? Yes
Do displays of wealth make the poor feel uncomfortable? Yes
Do candy aisles in supermarkets make dieters uncomfortable? Candy aisles, cookie aisles, all those junk food aisles, absolutely positively yes! That's why people trying to diet try to avoid those aisles.
Do dogs make victims of dog-attacks uncomfortable? Very much so. I've seen them cross the street rather than walk past my dog.
Moral of the story? Don't ask questions if you're not ready to listen to the answers.
Are you forced to hide your dog to stop people being scared of it? No. Are you forced to keep the dog indoors? No. Are you told you should only go out when there's nobody nearby so that they don't see your dog and get scared? No.

I'd like to put this whole thing in perspective. If they had called it Moonbase 1, do you think $6 billion wouldn't have been enough to establish a permanent colony?
When one gets lambasted by a white person for saying "Eskimo" to describe Indians living in Northern Canada or Alaska, I don't think I'm being corrected, but bullied.
Indians live in India for the most part, not northern Canada. Too darn cold! Calling an Aboriginal an Indian is more offensive. And no, not bullying, just saying:-)

Different things are appropriate in different settings. At the Comedy Fest's Nasty Show, anything goes. Roasting Justin Beiber was tame by comparison. People attending such events know what to expect.
To expect someone to make lame dick and c*nt jokes in source code? If you can't make a funny joke, best not to even try than to stoop to grade 5 toilet humour.
The most recent semi-final Mars100 selection occurred after being given multiple sources of technical and press release information about the mission and being told to memorize the knowledge elements for a personal 15 minute interview with Dr. Norbert Kraft, MD, JAXA initial candidate and NASA long-duration group selection expert. Once Dr. Kraft had interviewed all 663 candidates on technical knowledge retention and public speaking ability
So, they're selecting 100 people for a one-way journey to Mars based on being able to memorize and spit back press releases and a few facts that go along with them, and look good doing it.
Sounds more like the interview process for a Fox News reporter.
Current Mars100 Finalists refute Elmo Keep’s Mars One “conspiracy theory.”
Suckers are always the last ones to see they're being scammed.
The article is horse turds. Appeals to authority, such as #6, the lame excuse for limiting interviews to 15 minutes max online (#8 - either take the time to do it right or don't do it), speculation of what the training "might" include - example - "might cover emergency manual control of spacecraft if applicable." as a way to justify 10 years, even though the author can only speculate as to what this training may be - nothing has been released to the public (or even the "candidates", obviously).
The "explanation" for the 200,000+ figure (#2) is absolutely post-hoc to cover up the fact that they misled the media.
#9 - the "explanation" that the initial funding is to be from an investment firm was only made after the TV company pulled out of the deal. No such deal is in place, nor is a deal in place for a replacement TV broadcaster.
Now that the initial shine is off, nobody serious wants to be associated with this turkey, because everyone knows that turkeys can't fly.
The chance of getting to land on Mars is pretty much zero given their "plans" - which seem to be mostly making it up as they go along and not answering embarrassing questions. So no tv rights for the "first landing on Mars."
SpaceX claims it's Dragon.V2 capsule can land propulsively on "any surface"
Alright! I'm sick and tired of winter. Let's land on the sun.
"You can't it's too hot!"
We'll go at night.
It can't land on Jupiter, either. 30 miles of clouds, then 13,000 miles of hydrogen and helium that changes from a gas to a liquid. Ditto Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Might want to start calling Pluto a planet again.
Why the FUCK would you think there's an Australian branch of the US ABC company in operation ??? I mean...shit.....that is about the dumbest thing I've read today.
I guess the concept of foreign correspondents is foreign to you:-)
Hi! Until the findings are replicated by other researchers (perhaps with a better methodology), we can't assume much of anything... but it's nice to dream. However, they did say that when they examined the brains of the two groups (which necessitated sacrificing the mice) , they did find differences between the test mice and the controls:
We used repeated scanning ultrasound (SUS) treatments of the mouse brain to remove A, without the need for any additional therapeutic agent such as anti-A antibody. Spinning disk confocal microscopy and high-resolution three-dimensional reconstruction revealed extensive internalization of A into the lysosomes of activated microglia in mouse brains subjected to SUS, with no concomitant increase observed in the number of microglia. Plaque burden was reduced in SUS-treated AD mice compared to sham-treated animals, and cleared plaques were observed in 75% of SUS-treated mice.
... so I'm hoping that there's "something there" and want to see the results replicated by others.
If this works, it will be a big money-saver by emptying a lot of "homes" where people need 24/7 care because of their mental condition and the accompanying physical problems.
In the story, Charlie Gordon went back to his old job. Couldn't put up with the pity. Left. (Where he went depends on whether it's the short story or the novel).
The entrepreneur Anil Dash quipped on Twitter, albeit stretching the truth, 'Not since I.B.M. sold mainframes to the Nazis has a high-tech company embraced medical data at this scale.'"

And they can grab the money Spotify is making on ads for a "free" tier. It's just one more app, no big deal.

Maybe you should re-read what you wrote.
When one gets lambasted by a white person for saying "Eskimo" to describe Indians living in Northern Canada or Alaska>Alaska.
In Canada, the proper term is Aboriginal (or First Nations). In Alaska, it's Native Americans.
, And the first two word in NAGPRA are "Native American".

No, they're complaining about trivializing an issue.

1. We don't have the ability to keep someone in a coma for 150 days in zero-g conditions.

Don't be silly - incitement to murder is still illegal. Your link about a public pedophile registry case has NOTHING to do with this.
The CIA would do it right - the "guard posts" would be across the street, with clear sight-lines.
A lucky penny is sure better than a lucky rabbits foot. After all, it didn't bring luck to the rabbit.
