Run.

I’m still hoping for a gamma ray burst.

Or start stapling posters places.

And they are an energy source for the good microbes there too.

Gotta get those microbial micronutrients.

Well, physical scrubbing, sure. But also, specific fibers are required for a healthy gut microbiome to function and maintain a proper balance of microbes that produce other micronutrients that your body cannot make on its own as well as fending off the types of microbes that subsist of sugars and fats alone.

Smoothies with a proper dietary balance still have fiber. So yeah.

But even beyond that, waste products from the gut microbiome, and left over bits that the body doesn’t use. Best case scenario, you would have small, liquid poops.

Your best bet? Intravenous feeding. Not that Drag has any intention of doing this.

Which is why, like in all past state additions, you do it in a way that is balanced based on contemporary divides, like slave vs free states. Puerto Rico and DC at the same time.

Very “a few rubber bands, a liquid lunch, and a particle accelerator” vibe.

I think it’s more like, all the shit he’s done has killed the cancer/disease before it could even raise its ugly head.

Glad to hear he is alright and his testosterone is just… “Like that.”

Got me worried when I heard he might have health problems.

Like oranges?

Images, it has radar to penetrate ice, catch dust during flyby, all kinds of stuff!

At a certain width we need to start using the rocket equation.

I should invest in a radsuit.

Inb4 the military claims it as a new chemical warfare agent!

“We didn’t kill 'em, the tumors did!”

Any headline pumping site, I always go find the original cited article. I trust the researchers who did the thing over someone who has a minor understanding and a good domain name.

Tho, I do like the articles on phys.org. They often seem to have direct quotes from the authors of the research, like they actually spoke to someone. But they are less space focused and more general science news from across the spectrum.

They are paraphrasing from the original news release, but poorly.

The gas cloud is being hit with so many photons of light from the stars that it is shining extremely brightly

Photons of light from the stars, as opposed to light from other things.

Generally poorly worded, but I can see what they are trying to convey. But they could have done it better.

1. Billions.
2. Little to Nothing. Because they wouldn’t make it as far as fast as the Voyager probes because they got a massive gravitational assist from a rare alignment that only happens every 176 years. All the other planets needed to be aligned appropriately for this journey at this speed. New horizons may leave the solar system in 43 if we don’t lose contact. And they already want to shut the program down. NH is about 10000 km/h slower than Voyager 1.

Best to use targeted probes to explore things we haven’t before. Ask different questions and if they leave the solar system, good on them. But I’d prefer orbital data satellites around all the ocean moons in the outer solar system.
