This is true for ambitious younger people who don't own a lot (the kind you'll find on/.), but drops off quickly once you have all the niceties of life.
Additionally, Wikipedia puts the power consumption at between 2 and 2.5kw, less than my home solar setup. It's just bolted to the exterior of the ISS and I don't see why it could not be made as a stand alone system.
I like cooking and am quite good at it. As far as other household jobs, i really don't like them, but they literally take me minutes per week and have never understood why people complain about them. Maybe I'm not that messy of a person and clean as I go.
Is there that much science other than life and biology in space?
Not really. But it's important to know how ants build tunnels in a weightless environment should the need ever arise that we know the answer. You never know. Better safe than sorry./s
But space. Fuckit. I was on a SCSC proposal team and know half a dozen physics grad students who lost their thesis, dropped out and went to work on wallstreet. At least most of them retired a few years later, so that's something.
Saved it and killed the SCSC. It was a good call. Granted the SCSC would have been 20 times more powerful than the LHC, but we've gotten so much more scientific data from the ISS than could have been hoped for by an earthbound (boring) atom smasher.

We've been racing towards a brave new world at full speed for quite a while now. Some say we're only 20 years away from artificial wombs. I think that's when the real fun begins.
I went to an L5 meeting when I was in high school. I was a big science geek, space nerd and Joseph Lagrange (the L in L5 - I'd taught myself how to calculate a few years before hearing of L5 society) was my hero. I took the bus across two towns to attend this meeting with a guest speaker from Caltech.
It was a major letdown in my young life. Instead of talking about things like orbital mechanics and how to make the economics work, the meeting consisted of kooks and was centered around making fun of people who didn't know the space shuttle couldn't land on the moon and a short speech from a woman who was writing a sci-fi book about sex in space. The best term that I've heard about those people is space nutters. I went because I wanted to learn and do something, but only learned that space is a cargo cult to many.
That would be s significant effort to go to to improve aerobraking. As far as life goes, it's essentially a vacuum and doubling or even quadrupling it would not change the time you would remain alive as compared with a hard vacuum. Pressure naturally varies by a factor of 2 on the surface depending on your location and the temperature and is the same as being 20 miles high on earth.
This is reddit. A place for nerds. Nerds are people who read comic books, watch movies and play video games, not people with technical backgrounds. Because math is hard and science, except for dinosaurs, is scary.
Can you name some scientific advances and inventions by the soviets in the space race, or only (if that) the ones made by americans. Many have argued (including Richard Feynman) that the advances of the space program were not technological, but organizational (not a trivial problem when here are hundreds of thousands of people involved)
It takes two parties to enter into a contract. I wrote a contact where the other person would give me all of their money, but I can't get anyone to agree to it.

The AMS is regarded by many as the only experiment of any merit on the ISS. And it came as an afterthought and almost didn't happen at all.

Isn't this what everyone says is the problem with American corporations?

So amazon is hiring that bottom 30% of the population?
Something is very wrong when you have to give up a major positive in another aspect of your life just to have a minor one financially
At what point in history did this even become an option?
I've lived in six states in fifteen years. No I don't have children, but maybe I'm just a responsible person.

Why is it complex? Just don't work for them There are literally tens of thousands of other companies that you can work for.

Science/engineering advances from space exploration often find their way into consumer products
The (economic) question is however are those advances better (more progress/$) than direct funding of consumer products? Analysis shows no.
