@Lo@kbin.social @fruitleatherpostcard Either under the Artemis Accords or the Moon Treaty.
@ShaunaTheDead You never know with what we are finding today, but it is possible we wouldn’t even understand it if it was:
kurzgesagt did a nice little overview of this: https://youtu.be/rhFK5_Nx9xY?si=5cr0miFH0iUKhtFb&t=412

@roldyclark @End0fLine Well, if you are interested in the US gov’t:
RSS is good place to start: https://www.usda.gov/rss/latest-releases.xml
When relaying inconvenient news or the need to complete annoying tasks, I like the preface with it “Good news, everyone.”
@stopthatgirl7 That seems really low. The Roanoke colony in the U.S. had around 120 people with access to food, water, and shelter on Earth and still vanished. I know that is not a 1:1 comparison, but the point is that I would think that a Mars colony would be 10x more difficult. But, I guess we will never know until we try.
TIL: There was something called Google Flights.
@JoBo I just googled it and Kenya came up as the first hit in Search and in Bard.
Well, if some sort of artificial gravity is not implemented:
“The level of gravity on the moon—about 17 percent that of Earth’s—could wreak havoc on bones, muscles, and other organs. And then there are the psychological aspects of what one NASA astronaut described as the “vast loneliness” of the moon.”

Seems like there are two schools of thought on this:
“We don’t know much about aliens, but we know about humans. If you look at history, contact between humans and less intelligent organisms have often been disastrous from their point of view, and encounters between civilizations with advanced versus primitive technologies have gone badly for the less advanced. A civilization reading one of our messages could be billions of years ahead of us. If so, they will be vastly more powerful, and may not see us as any more valuable than we see bacteria.” --Stephen Hawking
“While Sir Stephen Hawking warned that alien life might try to conquer or colonize Earth, I respectfully disagree,” Tarter said in a statement in 2012. "If aliens were to come here, it would be simply to explore. Considering the age of the universe, we probably wouldn’t be their first extraterrestrial encounter, either.
“If aliens were able to visit Earth, that would mean they would have technological capabilities sophisticated enough not to need slaves, food or other planets,” she added. --Jill Tarter, former director of the Center for SETI

True. We constantly look to the starts, but really do not even know what is beneath our feet.
@SonicBlue03 The podcast is basically a thought exercise on discussing the make up of planets and how they vary. Of course, the hot molten metal in Earth was brought up in the first 30 seconds. They then go on discuss small rocky, gas giants, and etc. It was an interesting way to look at planetary science.
@ShaunaTheDead Agreed on both counts. Discovery of any type of life would be a major discovery.
@uphillbothways Couldn’t it be a staging ground, not just for lunar mining, but also asteroid mining?
I am reading #Seveneves which is about exactly that!
It would also help if healthy, fresh foods were less expensive and unhealthy treats/desserts/junk food were more expensive. Some families cannot afford to eat healthy.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has described five broad categories of social determinants of health. These include:
- economic stability
- education access and quality
- health care access and quality
- neighborhood and the built environment, such as access to sidewalks and playgrounds
- social and community context
It has happened before. More than 12,000 years ago, rapid glacier melt caused the AMOC to shut down, leading to huge Northern Hemisphere temperature fluctuations of 10 to 15 degrees Celsius (18 to 27 Fahrenheit) within a decade.
What caused the rapid glacier melt before and how did the planet bounce back. Knowing this could held expedite the “fast and effective measures to cut planet-heating pollution to zero, to reduce global temperatures and slow melting in the Arctic” that the report has called for.
