News Forum - All aboard the sushi terror train
That's the thing about you don't see further what's going on... Firstly, "a factorial sushi is diabolically gearing up food supply from the oceans. Secondly, when youngsters thought they could have "fun", they started their pranks on food. Wakeup, dude, it's this sort of misfit that we run into all sorts of problems. But who started it, it's the mega conglomerates! -

News Forum - Olympic Games on the brink as 40 nations threaten to pull out
Russias athletes are very strongly connected to the military or the police, in the Tokyo Olympics in 2022 about half of the 77 medals that Russia amassed were won by the military and the police. Surely it is fitting that other athletes should not be rubbing shoulders with Russian athletes that are associated with the death and destruction we are witnessing on a daily basis. https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/334095-tokyo-olympics-military-soldiers -

News Forum - All aboard the sushi terror train
I'm not quite sure how any of your comment relates to the news story. It's as if you didn't read any of it. It's social media that is destroying our societies, as evident in the reasons for the actions described in this story. -

Future/Upcoming Space ideas and/or missions
The sheer difficulty and cost of blasting off from Earth's gravity and into space requires a huge amount of planning and preparation, and thus ideas that we have now likely won't see fruition for several years, if ever. That said, it is always interesting to see what might be on the proverbial 'Drawing Board' for the future. First, and in my view the most vital, is the development of manufacturing capacities in orbit, yet I can find little concrete information on plans for it. Simply put, the more manufacturing that we can move into space (or perhaps to a Lunar base) means easing the burden of sending up stuff (if you can even pack it better for later assembly, we'll almost certainly see better equipment in space) and, eventually, when we are able to collect and process raw materials in space we'll be able to bypass blasting into orbit all together. But, that is another day and almost certainly on the Moon. The CNN article (link below) notes several ideas that will receive 'start-up' funding from NASA, including 'self-growing bricks' for future bases, a new kind of 'Helicopter' that can function on the Jovian moon Titan, the use of fluids to act as a mirror for telescopes to provide maximum adaptability and flexibility in the future, different mirrors for future space-based telescopes, and a new method of 'seeing' radio waves. (https://edition.cnn.com/2023/02/04/world/nasa-niac-space-exploration-concepts-scn/index.html) Those who are into this sort of stuff can take a 'deeper dive' with the NASA link (below) which details a few more projects that are receiving 'seed money' this year. (https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-selects-experimental-space-technology-concepts-for-initial-study) Finally, as I have said before, Space.com is a great site for those interested. (https://www.space.com/space-missions-to-watch-this-year) The last two years or so will be noted by future historians as a time when humanity's quest for the stars really took huge strides with Webb, Artemis, DART, etc. My sense is that we won't see as spectacular advances this year or next, but rather return to a steady progress in increasing our knowledge and capacities in space. If/when we are able to set up lunar bases with infrastructure, the old saying "The Sky's The Limit" won't apply anymore. Who knows? Perhaps one of these ideas will be the thing that the Vulcans notice and initiate First Contact.
