NASA is sending astronauts to the Moon and then on to Mars, in a measured, sustainable way. The direction from Space Policy Directive-1 builds on the hard work NASA is doing on its Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, agency efforts to enable commercial partners, its work with international partners at the International Space Station in low-Earth orbit, and what NASA learns from its current robotic missions at the Moon and Mars.

I really want to be excited, and it's absolutely a good thing in general. I really wish BO or SpaceX would just kill off SLS though. They've already blown through $15 billion on it, and it's hard to envision another $1.6 making a huge difference in getting there cost effectively.

Hey you science guys, got a question.

I seen an article about the new 5G being dangerous to humans, due to electromagnetic radio frequency, or something like that. Do you guys know anything else about that? I’m at the doctor right now and don’t have a ton of time to start reading. So I figured I would ask since I saw this thread on the front page

Really no different than lead

No, 5G hasn't been shown to be any kind of danger.

There was actually a push by a news company called RT in Russia to put out misinformation regarding 5G tech, which is likely the origin of whatever you heard.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/12/s...th-russia.html

The top end range of 5G is 86 Ghz

By comparison, ionizing radiation (x-rays, gamma rays) begins in the petahertz range, literally 1,000,000 times shorter wavelength.

Thanks guys, I figured it was probably bullshit. I thought it was most likely bullshit, but was curious where the information was coming from. Seeing that it was likely coming from a Russian news company explains a lot about it. Thanks again guys, I will do some more reading about it

What are you at the doctors for?

He got a touch of the 'tism from his flu shot.

I was going to say, a person can get free medical advise on here might as well save your coin on that. Unfortunately you can't get prescription drugs, however there are natural remedies abound.

If you say "I seen", then you have other problems to worry about than getting sick from a phone. I hate when people say that and "we was."

You sound like the old woman on Facebook that bitched at me for saying that instead of I have seen or I saw

Next time I write a post on Facebook or CP, I will make sure I get it pre approved from her and you. I didn’t know we were being graded on it, and how high of a problem that rates in life.
