>thinking orbital mechanics are hard
i completely struggled through my university courses on it, then i picked up KSP and got the entire thing down extremely quickly

i seriously recommend everyone here play KSP, it's better to see something happening than read about it.

shit like frames of reference, orbital velocities, body rotations, rendezvouses, transfers, etc i was able to depict and thus learned much easier. it doesn't simulate more intensive shit like the n-body problem for example, but if you're having a bit of trouble it'll show you how everything works

The thing about fundamental science as opposed to technology is that technology can only be developed up to the limitations of current science.

>anon, that's obvious and irrelevant.

Well, the thing about fundamental science is that its progress and the applications thereof tend to be perfectly random. That is to say, no one fucking knows what field is going to make the next useful discovery or how that discovery will apply to technologists. Maybe the mars expedition will give insight into how not to kill our planet. Maybe an improved understanding of quasars will lead to quantum computing. At the end of the day, all fundamental science can do is branch out in every direction at once and hope there is more to learn.

This.

I'm seriously about to whistle blow on the whole fucking system. I worked as an EMT and then in finance for hospitals.

You wouldn't believe the garbage people are forced to pay for and the dumb prices we ask the insurance company and they actually fucking pay it.

A box of bendy straws is like 5$ for 100 in the regular world, but in the medical field a box of ''specialty'' straws for people is near 20$ or even more.
Of course 1 box wouldn't be that bad but my hospital alone buys hundreds of these a quarter.

If you ever had a scumbag friend or you say fuck it I want to get rich scamming people, sell shit to hospitals. Better yet be a broker for insurance companies.

If you want to find a cure cancer, you should focus on finding a way to militarize it. I'm not even kidding.

Every major technological breakthrough is developed for military purposes. For example, our entire understanding of nuclear physics is essentially based on the U.S. military looking for new ways to genocide people.

So: Convince the U.S. military that cancer can be harnessed and weaponized, and you will gain understanding as a result.

only way that seems feasible for long-distance (hundreds of light-years) travel will be wormhole tech, which will be hilariously dangerous if it's actually achieved because you're working with energies enough to bend space (you'd also need to build gates, which would be fucking expensive)

also, you still need time to set something like that up (to actually make the connection to where you want to end up -- it's not teleportation, it's just taking a shortcut)

we're sure as hell not going to do it in our lifetime though

I'll give you a little bit of knowledge OP.

I work for a big data company, for our website marketing wanted pictures of people working together. They asked everyone in the office to allow themselves to get pictures taken, participate in booths at conventions, etc.

Everyone tries to get out of this shit. They ask everyone in person once, nearly everyone says no again.

Then they start targeting darkies and women and hound them until they get the numbers needed.

Almost no whites appear on our website or go to our booths.

>basically everyone you see doing this shit are the people that got hounded into submission.

The radiation would have destroyed the instruments by then. Its that intense.

They have to drop Juno into Jupiter after the mission because they did not sterilize it, and thus if it hit one of the moons it could contaminate them.

Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”

Can somebody explain to be why the Jupiter system is so radioactive?
>>
>>55420095
Jupiter has a hugely powerful magnetic field, second to only that of the sun. It acts like a giant particle accelerator, taking captured solar particles and materials ejected from Io and accelerating them to huge velocities.
>>
>>55418526
Cancer has billions thrown at it, too. It's not so much an issue of money as it is an issue of cancer is really fucking resilient and varied in its expression. Alzheimer's is easier but less funded since cancer is popular and who cares about old people I guess. HIV is a neat one since curing it is so close and yet so far.

Ultimately, none of these are as much money locked as they are just difficult to fix.

Genetic therapies seem to be really effective on cancer, though. As well, Alzheimer's. I don't know about HIV, though.
>>
>>55420095
In the early period of the solar system we were actually a two star system, with Jupiter as it's own, albeit much smaller, star. It fairly quickly ran out of hydrogen and died, becoming a planetary nebula and then a planet. Towards the end of a star's life it creates all the super heavy radioactive elements through fusion/fission reactions. So that's why it's so radioactive.

>Wormhole travel
It is unlikely that we will take this method since there isn't actual proof of a worm hole existing to begin with. It might take an offshoot to other things like warp bubbles but the first big step to any space travel will come from better understanding gravity through detectors on Earth, in our solar system and the scientific method in general.
As far as materials are concerned, graphene will allow for better energy storage and capture as well as allow for better space suits and computers. Hulls.. well, I dunno. There has to be something we can stuff together that will be strong enough to withstand space debris that travels at some factor of c.

The solar isn't to power the engines, it's to power the instruments. The energy it would take to both escape the well and then maneuver through the solar system just isn't available if you want to have the instruments active for as long as possible. Easier to just crash it into the planet.

My twin brother is HIV+

It's not a "take a pill and everything's fine" situation.

The pill makes you feel like shit for hours after taking it-- and you have to take it exactly on schedule twice a day.

On top of that have fun never getting laid ever again. Try having a romantic partner that you can't have sex with... it doesn't work. Try having a romantic partner that you pass on a life threatening illness to... that doesn't work either.

HIV is a life altering problem for those who get it.

On top of that there's the fear and stigma for everyone else. Every single person now wonders if they're contracting HIV when they have sex; how wonderful.

True. People have enough trouble with the concept of "natural" and "naturally occurring." All things are natural, we just create an environment where these things become. Naturally occurring is when something is found without our interjection to cause its formation. Greenies are really good at misunderstanding things, especially radiation and nuclear power generation.
