    The payload won't make it. Bacteria is unlikely to survive in the interstellar environment long enough to "get there" (where ever there is), much less survive a reentry into a survivable atmosphere.
    That might be true for extraterrestrial bacteria, but is rather unlikely.
    We already know that earth bacteria survive vacuum, space trips, radiation, just fine.

    How often actually do I need to tell you that you should refrain from posting about stuff you have no clue about?
    No worries, not knowing that we know since 40 years that earth bacteria survive in vacuum, and survive the reentry, does not make you look like an idiot, it only makes you look rather uninformed ;)

  4. Why don't you simply google how it works?
    Most farmers in europe are organic.
    You simply put the shit of the cows and pigs back on the field.
    And what kind of pest do you think we have here that you imply we need pesticides?
    Swizerland is close to 100% organic, Germany is around 50%, france is around 75%

    You have no clue about the topic.

    Adrenalin my ass ... people who get an adrenalin flash in a _movie_ imho have a serious problem, but well, most people have serious problems.

  7. I live in germany, mostly.
    In my country school kids learned in the early 1970s about global warming.
    There is no left versus right shisma about it, that would be idiotic. What has your political agenda to do with scientific facts?

  8. You called me an idiot for claiming that there was no scientific evidence that "organic" has a benefit,
    Correct. Because you are an idiot. What has that to do with can't substantiate your claim.
    Your standpoint loudly proclaims that organic food has no health benefit, or do I miss something? Would you care to post a link supporting that standpoint?

    What other fake products have pretend health effects?
    Peanuts for people who are allergic to peanuts.
    Shrimps for people that are allergic to seafood.
    Chickens for people that are allergic to chickens ... oops we had that already.
    Gluten for people who are allergic to gluten.

    On okcupid.com they actually tell you that "horror movies", more precisely if you like them and your mate likes them are very good indication if a relationship will work. E.g. if one likes horror movies and the other one not, it is unlikely that the relationship will work out.

    I was under the impression that nukes can be tuned to give a greater EMP effect, and by detonating them high in the stratosphere they could cover half a continent.
    Correct.

    In the example of a nuclear/thermonuclear bomb detonating, the effective radius (close enough that EMP could disable minimally-hardened electronics) of the EMP pulse is much smaller than the effective full-destruction radius of the detonation.
    That is nonsense. The EMP radius is thousands of miles.

    In other words, you'd almost certainly need to be close enough to ground-zero so that the blast itself would incinerate the electronics to hot radioactive plasma before the EMP would be strong enough to kill it.
    No, you wont. An EMP is generated by igniting a nuke in the upper atmosphere ... 12 - 50 miles above the ground.

    A nuke detonating 10miles away 500m above ground causes no EMP.

    I really wonder what is worse, people who have no clue about problems of GMO -food- or people who have no clue about geography, or people that have no clue about politics/development of other countries.
