We got caught off guard by Bright. When I first saw it "I thought what fresh hell is this?" I sat down and watched it expecting it to be simply horrible. It wasn't horrible. Granted, its wasn't a cinematic master piece ether. I admit that I was hoping it would get better, but to my relief it didn't get worse like so many movies do.
Could we not simulate gravity by rotating stuctures? I guess those would easier to maintain zero gravity.
We can, and probably will in space. I'm just not sure how rotating structures will work on a planet service. The issue I was thinking about is the conception and development of a fetus in other than Earth gravity.
But some other posters have pointed out by the time we set up a colony on mars we might have the technology to solve this problem. So i'm not sure how much of my OP is valid any more.
Joseph has been criticized by the scientific community for embracing unorthodox mechanisms of evolution. In one instance, the biologist P.Z. Myers ridiculed a claim by Joseph that a rock found on Mars is a living organism similar to a type of fungus existing on Earth.[4] He has also made controversial comments about sex, including "Biologically, females serve one purpose: to get pregnant".[5]
In 2014, Joseph filed a lawsuit against NASA as he claimed they failed to investigate whether a rock seen on Mars is in fact an alien lifeform.[2][3]
I have a legitimate concern and to back up my issue I reference a article written by a loon. Why isn't that just... perfect. Thanks for pointing that out.
I actually did think of the "maternity ring" when I was posting the OP. I just wasn't sure how viable that it would be on a Mars colony. Basically the way I see it you would have to go off world to conceive and give birth.
I'm not really sure about the feasibility of a "maternity train" planet side. You would have two forces active on the fetus a the same time. Natural gravity and artificial gravity. It is a interesting concept that would merit farther study though.
Of course there is always the possibility of genetic engineering any future colonist. I honestly don't see any way around that at all if we want to become a space fairing species. I imagine any colonist that inhabit a future Mars or moon will be human only in name and evolutionary roots. Say homo sapient martian or homo sapient luna?
Here is a link to one of the papers I read. This one doesn't state that conception and development will be impossible but does show considerable risk in the process.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there are not going to be any Mars colonies. We may have research labs and possibly some vacation resorts but I don't see there being any real colonies. Not like scifi has us thinking.
The issue is not atmosphere or water, those can be addressed, but gravity. I was listening to some pod casts and reading some papers. There are a few scientists that think that our life cycle it tied very closely to a 1G gravity. With out this conception and development of a viable fetus is impossible. If this is true then there will never be colonies on Mars, or almost any place else.
Question. If the missiles do start flying who is going to be left to set the thing to midnight? I doubt the cockroaches and rats will give a shit ether way.
To hell with this 2 minutes and 2 seconds to midnight. Lets just roll the damn thing right on up to midnight and see what happens! Common Hippies, make my day! Lets set that fucker right on midnight!.
I love space and I'm pretty much rather see a buck spent on that than on many other things. But I'm on the fence with this one. I love the ideal of having a permanent outpost in space but I'm just not seeing what this gets us. I know there is some research going on but I don't see that being worth what we are paying.
Instead of us putting in any more money into this tinkertoy collection in space, I would rather see us getting back to Warnher von Braun ideal of a space habitat.
That and AT&T has probably seen the writing on the wall. They fought to end net neutrality at the federal level and now they are looking at a lot of state and local laws getting passed. So instead of one set of rules they might end up with hundreds of rules.
Well boo fucking ho. They crawled in bed with this crap. No sympathies.
Totally Agree. I can't say I was a fan of all of her works but EarthSea was one of the first books I can recall reading. I found many of the concepts she wrote about in that book have affected some of the amateur writing that I do.
What is your evidence? Where are your peer-reviewed citations?
Why you have been providing my evidence and every demeaning remark you have made is subject to per-reviewed here. You are posting in a open forum for everyone to read. Every homophobic, every racist and demeaning remark you have made is here for everyone to read.
Your very remarks are my peer reviewed evidence that you are, indeed, a sad little man.
I actually would rather have Linus' "useful, straight communicationl" than that baffling line of bullshit that intel came out with. Maybe with a heavy weight like Linus calling bullshit we can get a better answer from intel.
Did his god damn phone work? Does he know that he can push buttons on it and when done in the correct order he can talk to someone? Wait, he probably didn't know the phone number.
You are one sad little man aren't you. I'm not sure what has gotten you so fixated on stalking me around Slashdot with your homophobic rants but that is fine. Whatever floats your boat.
You really think that? That is absolutely, stunning. If low skilled manufacturing jobs are useless, then why is China have so many? No job is useless or worthless, and low skilled manufacturing jobs are all some people are qualified for.

I'd give it 6/10

Holy fucking crap....
You mean I won't be able to post to facebook within 200 feet of a school. And I'll start seeing my tax dollars used to fund obnoxious adds on tv now?

I'm not sure what this is referring too. There is a difference between sex in the sea and sex in zero gravity
Tax reform. That is turning out to be fairly useful. Lets look and see what else has been passed by Trump. How about a link from NPR?
https://www.npr.org/2017/12/27...
I just ticked off a few random ones there. So I would say that Trump in passing lots of useful legislation in his presidency.

I read at +6 !!! With Sigs off !!!
I used to read at that level. But it got lonely.
For the love of god, don't these idiots have something more important to do? How much do we pay these idiots anyway?
I'm not mad! I'm insane!!
I said! I'm not mad! I'm insane!
Really there should have been some thunder and lightning there. Yo! Where is my thunder? Did any one queue my lightning?
I think we should live dangerously. Lets set the damn thing 2 minutes PAST midnight and see what happens.
Really, we never have. Can you please post some links to illustrate his clueless buffoonery? Credible sources only please.
