…with hyperlong telomeres.
“These unprecedented results show that longer than normal telomeres in a given species are not harmful but quite the contrary: they have beneficial effects, such as increased longevity, delayed metabolic age and less cancer,” concludes the team.
The telomere theory has been around for decades, but we seem to be getting closer to actual implementation.
NASA is planning to reduce crew size on ISS because of uncertainty in Commercial Crew. This probably means no research during that period.
Congratulations to Jon Goff and his team. This will help with space investment in general, I think.
For years, NASA has been providing a BS number of a billion dollars a flight (with no basis). Now, at least the White House is admitting that it’s at least two billion.
And here’s an update this morning. Yes, five billion a flight is a low estimate.
It could (maybe) be done in a century.
But no, I don’t think they’d have to learn to eat crickets. The paucity of imagination in studies like this is always amazing.
…continues to flatline.
It will be cosmically hilarious if, after all the climate hysteria, the glaciers return in the next few decades.
Overgrown children who need “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings” don’t belong at a university.
…could replace sutures. I’ve always thought that stitches were a very crude means of keeping wounds together. When I cut my the skin on patella on broken class a few years ago, we used superglue to hold things together temporarily, but I eventually still had to put in staples. This sounds like it would have been much better.
If SpaceX pulls this off, it’s going to be pretty embarrassing for NASA (and Congress).
…is a partisan joke, and has been for a long time.
That’s certainly been my observation.
