You would need to add a counter and possibly a loop. pseudocode: for (i = 1; i < 100; i++) { PRESS i @ 3789; } Otherwise you can instead create one script with each change hard coded. ie. PRESS 1 @ 3789 WAIT(or equivalent only if necessary) PRESS 2 @ 3789 WAIT ... May be an idea to look at different scripting programs.

It would still be in a gravity well though. We are not short on space in Space. Imagine a Colony in the Sky instead of one tethered to the ground. You would need to extract and process lunar ice and even then there is only a finite amount of it. Fuel, drinking, oxygen production and building materials. People like to talk about using lunar water to do all these things and there's only so much of it. Something is going to give. Some sort of automated base might be worth it(extracting components of minerals), but there is little there that warrants setting up a human colony. May as well leave the radiation and dust problems where they are. Biggest gains we'll see will come from better recycling of what we already bring up. Carbon Dioxide is ironically a prime candidate.

This might be of some help to better understand what happens as you approach c(and in turn the issue with taking measurements at c). http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/relativ/muon.html#c3

It is moral to enforce rules another has freely agreed to. It doesn't even matter what the moderators themselves think on the rule, they are merely asked to enforce it. When ideas conflict in a discussion you look at the logic behind what they are saying. If it is valid you update your own thinking, acknowledge the fact and proceed accordingly. If it is not you point out the way in which it is not valid. If you try to "win" a discussion you are only going to "lose" when the other parties end up dismissing your views as having value. I copy-pasted points I was responding to. I didn't want to post the whole post and risk the thread devolving.

You don't need to define yourself in anyone's terms but your own. Throw off the shackles of society's opinion and all that jazz. If it is genetic, maybe it did/does have some benefit which resulted in it being passed along or maybe it is just an option that will bear fruit in the future as tech-assisted reproduction becomes more common place. Who's to say? Don't try to outguess the human genome keeping its options open. Nothing is good/bad, it is only judged based on how it contributes to fitness.

Did you ask for clarification? We're not on a Debate forum. We are on a Discussion forum. A discussion is about sharing knowledge and views. You aren't trying to "win" you are trying to exchange ideas.

You can have children biologically speaking. Generally people manage to conform with society's expectations as far as reproduction goes. It is also possible that it is indirect acting. Increasing the well-being of an opposite-sexed couple's children. With more modern day means you could reasonably purchase an egg, have it artificially inseminated and then have it implanted in a birth mother. Likewise sperm donation is an option. Some stuff down the line would allow Lego Genetics(male eggs, female sperm). You and a partner certainly contain all the necessary chromosomes, just a matter of switching cell characteristics around. Artificial means of growing the embryo are likewise being looked into.

1) Can't travel at c and have mass, even getting close is costly. 2) Anything you hit going fast, is the equivalent of something very fast hitting you. Something the size of a pebble could do massive damage. Most realistic thing I've read about would be a self repairing vessel, with "crew" functionally "backed up". 3) We don't know anything exact about conditions on other planets outside our own solar system. 4) The two galaxies will collide. What this means for Earth and the solar system in general is uncertain. Will likely be climatic to some degree though. The Sun in contrast is simply going to expand as it enters into its red giant phase. It lacks the energy to actually explode. Realistically we just need to get enough distance from it and we'll be fine, though Earth itself is likely to be swallowed by the Sun or the closest planet to the Sun. 5) Indefinitely. The whole planet is "in space". Radiation in space is the biggest threat. Second is simply the lack of resources and/or the need to recreate the environmental conditions we generally take for granted on Earth. Generally much of the planet contributes a huge amount to our daily needs. Consider manufacturing everything from the air you breathe, to the food you eat, to the water you drink. Now consider doing this with only the most basic resources. If you are talking about general problems then main one is that the muscles weaken. A problem as the heart is one such muscle and many humans eventually want to return to a higher gravity location. You may want to look at the Mars Society site. That one has quite a bit of accessible knowledge.

Speaking for only myself, I tend to value the coarseness more than any other factor. I'm sure if I made saltwater out of them, I might not be able to tell. As I typically consume salt though, I've always observed an enjoyable difference.

Well they aren't all bad. Gas giants and their moons are our best bets.

It is the texture, additives and trace elements that define the differences between the two. Personally I prefer sea salt, but to each their own.

You are thinking of the popular misconception for the Big Bang Theory. The misconception is akin to pointing at a toddler and claiming that is the moment of birth. That is literally not what the actual Theory is saying at all. It is simply saying if we look back through time we can see the Universe was once a toddler(hot, dense state) that has since then grown up(expanded). It doesn't say, because there simply isn't any evidence for it, how the Universe got to be in that toddler state.

Ironically, a decent quantity of human hair comes from religious donations. Not all of the same quality though which is why it is used in different end products. Evolution is just against you creating any kind of loop a pathogen could take advantage of. In many cases our instincts don't apply like they used to.

Yeah, it can come from hair and duck feathers. Only one of a number of similarly "grouse" ingredients out there though. Mostly have to consider how much processing is involved. Personally I don't worry about it. Even something straight from the field is going to end up with some level of nastiness. You look too closely at what you eat and you are going to end up not eating.

Jetpacks are real. Mostly just pricey(gas based variety), not unlike flying cars. There isn't much in terms of of practical value on the moon. Not a whole lot you can do with lunar regolith. I looked into it awhile ago and concluded we'd be better off building stations in open space and not bothering with the added cost of yet another gravity well. Most I saw for the Moon to offer was in the form of a tourist destination and scientific reserach station.

In 1811 Henry Cavendish, expanding on previous reserch done by Isaac Newton into Alchemical reactions, proved magic to be true via use of a modifed torsion balance. Tragically in doing so this led to his summoning Maxwell's Demon. The resolution of this violation of causality resulted in his tragic death in 1810.

No, what you are exposed to in life will play a large(if not the largest) role. If you want to take a look at some of the different historical views they can be pretty enlightening.

We can't guarantee at present that every cell will be altered or that they will be altered in the correct fashion. Depending on the disorder and chromosome makeup of the parents there would probably be a simpler solution.

You are probably not the sole donor of genetic material and you can also screen for genetic disorders prior to. Whole body isn't terribly realistic and more than a little dangerous in terms of causing genetic damage.

Everytime I see this thread, I think this: http://www.dezeen.com/2014/02/18/underground-farm-built-in-tunnels-12-storeys-beneath-london/

I like to think of it as a conical seashell personally. Easiest to visualize in terms of area increasing from the tip outwards.

There are some pratical concerns but the bulk of our illegal immigrants are not coming from regions we need to be concerned about. Just media trying to spin zenophobia. Even if we did role out with an Ebola Vaccine tomorrow how many of your own countrymen would you be willing to bet wouldn't take it? For its high rate of mortality, Ebola's transmission rate is actually fairly poor. If it were an airborne disease I'd be more concerned. I don't think it even technically qualifies as an outbreak. Only 2 infected and were initally infected in a different country. It hasn't spread any further as far as we can tell and it has certainly been within US borders(outside labs) in the past.

lol, this is pretty funny in retrospect: English Mechanics and the World of Science, Volume 22

Anyone know what the CO2-N2 plasma might look like?
