I thought China was seeking to build a base on the backside moon. The moon doesn't rotate so the only way to see the backside is to orbit the moon. The moon is the wild west, nobody owns it's natural resources. Who is projecting military force?
There seems to be over 10,000 satellites in orbit over our fragile planet. I hope against hope that space does not get militarized but given humans nature it probably will.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Unfortunately, the universe is militarized if you take into account all the satellites 🛰️ 📡 both private sector, government/military agencies.

Google “orbital debris”.

Efforts to create “mirror bacteria” pose a threat to human life and should be stopped, scientists warned. Organic molecules have unchanging “handedness” — all DNA is “right-handed,” all proteins “left-handed” — but in theory, they could have been the other way round. Scientists have created mirror molecules, and some are working toward making whole mirror microbes, which they hope could create new therapies and industrial processes. But a major new report argued that mirror bacteria might be invisible to immune systems, causing “lethal infections that would spread without check,” possibly leading to what one writer called “the greatest extinction event of the last two billion years.”

My Dad would never have been able to afford a family.

Not humor:
"...the action is ludicrously ineffectual at addressing the trumped-up problem, while remarkably effective at further cementing state controls over economic production."

^^ The real heart of the matter^^

Facism in the name of environmental concern, it's all the rage.

If AOC has anything to say about this…we aren’t far behind implementing this!!???

Anyone into metal detecting? Been thinking about getting into this for awhile.

The speed the e-bike can run, I'm not sure there shouldn't be some training/licensing requirements like a motorcycle. Most drivers aren't expecting a bike to be clipping along at 35 mph.
