Ouch dude. It’s hard to do much science, let alone genetic sequencing with less than what they raised. This likely won’t even pay the scientists wages. It’s pretty hard to do any science just for the sake of ‘wanting to know’ anymore, and at least there’s some good that could come of this. And I say this as someone…

Yeah, because scientists are famously wealthy

They have cats on the internet now.

Did you donate to the research fund they crowd sourced?

A-yup.

Im starting to use Explorer again more and more. Been playing around with Spartan and runs pretty quick, would like to see speed results once the finished product is out.

Something else to consider is if we do find intelligent life, it is HIGHLY unlikely they’re at the same technological level as us. We’ve only really started to understand the universe in the last 150 years or so, and obtained advanced technology in the last 60 years. That’s a fraction of a blink of an eye in terms of…

To be fair, the Earth is still a molten rock flying through space, we just inhabit a small layer of crust on the surface.

To assist in drowning out the science contrarians, I’m replying to this.

I was a kid in the sixties and this is what space travel in the future was suppose to look like. How optimistic were were. I still don’t understand why we don’t have moon bases and haven’t been to Mars yet.

To address some talking points and some misunderstandings that somehow aren’t just hiding in the greys where they belong

Oh, so THIS is why Congress is trying to kill NASA’s funding. Curse those scientists and their facts and information mumbo-jumbo!

To deal with this unforseen act of god!

Stages of climate change denial:

And in Florida which is one of the places most vulnerable to sea-level rise, the term ‘climate change’ is deemed heretical speech for public employees.

The description of Grace Hopper should include the fact that she developed the first compiler (when everyone else said computers could only do math), some of the first languages (flowmatic and mathmatic) and she also helped develop COBOL.

Can I just nerd out about how freakin' gorgeous Noether's theorum is for a minute? It shows that conservation laws arise out of symmetries of nature.

I know she's not a physicist, but I was just reading about Margaret Hamilton, a software engineer from NASA who is responsible for the success of the Apollo 11 mission. (I believe — I am sketchy on the details)

Thanks for sharing these!
