They're researching conception and EARLY embryo development in space. There are known issues with human reproduction in space but likely many unknowns as well which this project is trying to investigate. Using human cells is more useful, cheaper and more ethical than sending animals into space to fuck. Yet the internet goblins are already calling it a "very bad idea."

So spinning them babies will be fulltime job :p

Howbout a space redlight district? If we're hell bent on polluting space with our 'civilization' why not start with the oldest profession? ;)

That's a thing: evolution shaped us to have no natural environment", but to adapt sny environment to ourselves.

Such historic bad luck for the day of the launch to have been so cold. It was the most publicized launch and they were under pressure to push forward to make the promise of regular shuttle flights real for the general public.

If we were 90 degrees in a different direction would we just see a flat explosion or is it just our perspective of it.

Yes sir, nothing but the best

For those saying “why not Starlink”. What they can get with 4G is to blanket a very wide area with coverage, and in this area several devices can get fast data access, and importantly the devices can be cheap, very small and very low power (rovers or people). The base station is also relatively cheap and small. Starlink around the moon implies a whole bunch of satellites ($), a ground terminal ($), and devices that use large, not very mobile, expensive phased array ($) dishes that need line of sight.

In fact I have… and your comment belies an arrogance that hides an ignorance of the topic….

Completely unworkable. Going back to earth would increase latency by several orders or magnitude, making it useless. Putting a bunch of low orbit of satellites around the moon would be even more orders of magnitude more expensive. A local 4G station gives you wide area access with the right performance at the right price.

Yes, agreed... this is a very bad idea. They should experiment with other species first.

Is the Darkside Base uniform still designed by Hugo Boss?

I used Nokias for years since probably my second phone after Samsung C45, mostly Nokia 2100 and Nokia 6230 and 6230i. Then there were Lumia 820 and 625. I loved these to the Moon and back (pun intended) and still feel like Microsoft Phone was way better than the way it flopped.
It was fast on a budget, their flow keyboard was stellar (and is still available I believe) and quite sturdy. I loved the tiles design for when you only use a couple dozen apps and the rest sit in the list.
It wouldn't work for someone with hundreds of apps though, spread accross six to seven screens they almost never use, except if heavily using folders (that I still have to use though). That's what my current phone looks like, but it's mostly me, hating on the apps situation.
In my Android phone I've decided to just delete links to almost everything and just search for them.

I’m nog smart enough for this but I like to philosophize about it. According to the conservation of energy law total energy of an isolated system remains constant. An example is when rotating on an office chair, speed changes when you stretch or pull your limbs together. So what happens to a rotating star when it decreases in size? Would it start spinning faster and could that cause this effect when exploding when it spins extremely fast?

When you arrive on the Moon.. you will probably have to buy a burner phone, with expensive galactic roaming charges ... no doubt the phone company on lunar surface will screw you... with data rates of dial up speeds.... no first arrival moon party videos for home.... not unless you can wait five days for it to upload.......[ a future not too far away.....]!!

Flat explosion? It just sounds man made I'm hoping it's not more stupid humans in a galaxy far far away.

What if the center were spinning and the released explosion was only allowed from a hole? This would make a single plane.

For what it's worth we can't assume that some of these phenomena aren't tied to other intelligent species. Maybe there is a similarly prosperous civilization out there, more advanced than us and they just had "a blast" some time ago.
