bullet How come we haven't traveled to other stars yet? We could have done it with project orion and now we have to use useless chemical rockets.
bullet I hear that one of the main reasons we haven't been sending people to Mars is that the cosmic radiation poses a great threat to the health of people. How could there of been a moon landing if there is too much radiation out there? how did they protect themselves against it if they didn't even know about it?
bullet I'm doing a websearch to try to figure out what "bioceramic" means. It's listed as part of the construction on a juicer, and claims it helps the juice stay fresher longer. You've come the closest to answering my question, so far. Actually, the question was just as helpful, perhaps I should buy stock in this latest fad. But I wish you would explain your thoughts more in debth instead of just scoffing. Now I have to look up far infrared heat, find the link to bioceramics. I guess you gave me some more word choices for my search. Health benefits bioceramics, infrared heat bioceramics?
bullet Was streptococcus actually found in Surveyor 3 after spending 2 and a half years on the Moon or is that just a rumor?
bullet How efficient do you think are our methods of receiving radio-signals are-for possible detection of extra-terrestrial life?
