So how's all that tech spin off coming. About the only need for it is to find out if the human body can take long stretches of weightlessness. Plenty of science can be accomplished without the ridiculous expense of making a craft that can support humans.
I’ll be happy if we get at least another LEO space station commercial or otherwise before ISS deorbits.
I think those who funded the whole effort secretly hoped that space is where immortality lies. That lack of gravity could somehow cause the cells to not age. I wonder how many secret life extension experiments have been done on the ISS so far.About the only need for it is to find out if the human body can take long stretches of weightlessness.

Unless you are the Director of NASA, that information could be classified and above your pay grade?None
It has produced a bunch of interesting pictures of objects that nobody official ever wants to talk about. But, as I see we have some serious sceptics in this forum, go on with your usual.Unless you are the Director of NASA, that information could be classified and above your pay grade?
Celestial objects? The ISS isn't used as a telescope, is it?It has produced a bunch of interesting pictures of objects that nobody official ever wants to talk about.
Videos/photos probably by individual personnel of moving objects of unknown origin.Celestial objects? The ISS isn't used as a telescope, is it?
When they signed the union contract 10 years ago, there was basically froze starting pay. Back then it was alright, but now many fast food workers in Seattle make more. So of course the quality of the worker has gone down a lot.HFS!!!
One (1) Door Master in that whole fucking plant?!?!?!
That's lean operation for you. As long as that 1 guy never gets sick, never takes vacation, and remains alive and working, they'll be just fine! /SHFS!!!

Sounds like where I used to work. Multiple single point failure setups. Maybe we should bring in someone so we can mentor someone to understand what that person does? Nah.HFS!!!

I am shocked that my current workplace operates like this but that's how it goes. Industry veterans of 30-40 years retire with minimal knowledge transfer.Sounds like where I used to work.

Turns out all you get in space is weak bones and lots of radiation. Not sure that’s the fountain of youthI think those who funded the whole effort secretly hoped that space is where immortality lies.

I bet there's at least ONE human being on Earth who, when exposed to space radiation and zero gravity, will develop superhuman powers.Turns out all you get in space is weak bones and lots of radiation. Not sure that’s the fountain of youth
So you want to waste a ton of money and run a hugely unethical experiment (ie, nearly all risk and no known benefit)?I bet there's at least ONE human being on Earth who, when exposed to space radiation and zero gravity, will develop superhuman powers.
We've been doing it all wrong all these years. Instead of going to Mars, we should be creating this huge Death Star like space station without the death ray so at least 10,000 people can be in space at any one time and then we test everyone who volunteers to stay in that station for a few weeks to see if they get stronger instead of weaker. And no, there would be no artificial gravity on the station coz that would then defeat the whole purpose.
Space program itself is a hugely unethical experiment where the astronauts have to accept the risk that they may not come back, no?So you want to waste a ton of money and run a hugely unethical experiment (ie, nearly all risk and no known benefit)?
Asking a small, select group of people who are also highly trained and fully informed of the risks to do specific things in space is the not the same thing as sending up hundreds to thousands of more random people to monitor for random mutations that have a rare chance of being beneficial. Don't pretend that they are.Space program itself is a hugely unethical experiment where the astronauts have to accept the risk that they may not come back, no?
As long as they're all certified Trump voters from toss up states with no prior access to mail-in ballots, I'm all for it!.

Oh well. Maybe the Chinese and Russians will do it when they find the time from worrying about world conquest.Asking a small, select group of people who are also highly trained and fully informed of the risks to do specific things in space is the not the same thing as sending up hundreds to thousands of more random people to monitor for random mutations that have a rare chance of being beneficial.

Yeah, not going to get onboard the unethical experimenting bandwagon.Oh well. Maybe the Chinese and Russians will do it when they find the time from worrying about world conquest.
You really want a Trump supporter to be the first one with superpowers? You haven't seen The Boys yet have you?As long as they're all certified Trump voters from toss up states with no prior access to mail-in ballots, I'm all for it!
Time's a wasting, let's get cracking!
Who's with me? I'm thinking a Go Fund Me. Boeing can provide the shuttle!
Now we are thinking!You really want a Trump supporter to be the first one with superpowers? You haven't seen The Boys yet have you?
