NASA is pushing research of growing food via hydroponics: Wikimedia Error

And they're imaging cancer: http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/tec...at_cancer.html

They're also treating cancer: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/nasalife/...ls_photos.html

They're preventing Heart failure: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/mo...opic_lvad.html

And treating depression: Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)



I could Google this all day long Their program has a global impact. As others have said, they aren't going to cure every single problem, but their focus is definitely on more than just space travel.

This looks like I started this thread but I didn't so please either change title or remove my posts
Thanks
Joking about starvation? Very cool

The mods moved the trolling from the other thread to this one, it's impossible for you to back out now.

Sigh all you want old lad, it was you who started the thread stating "curiosity has landed". We now know that you weren't inviting discussion on the subject as dissenting voices have been silenced. So, were you informing us all of this event in case we hadn't heard already? Unlikely i'd have thought.
Subsequent posts hinted at a kind of petty nationalism that does you no favours at all. "united states of space"? "gb got the olympics, we landed on mars"? - oh dear, another master race on the horizon is it?
We all know Nasa is a body of great minds from all over the globe so why do you post pictures stating "we" did this backed by an american flag? Just to get a reaction I would guess, or trolling to put it in your own terms.
After the embarrassing nationalism came the claims of space research helping the world, not before. There are by-products of all science that help others in some way or advance things more quickly than they otherwise would have by default, no argument there. But to say it helps everyone is simply not true.
Missile technology may well advance at such a rate that you now have a new coating on your frying pan and medicine advances at a faster rate during wartime but it's a huge failure in joined up thinking to follow that logic through and say "war helps everyone".
I didn't deny that it's a scientific achievement to land on Mars, of course it is. But i'm of the opinion that it an enormous use of resources for little known return. It is a luxury, like a holiday (as Kamal put it). So comparing luxuries to basic needs of humanity is fair enough i think when talking of resources. Or is humanity a less important denominator than that fucking flag of yours that you are brainwashed into singing songs at?

I certainly didn't expect starvation to be made into a joke. "arbitrary hunger"? ffs (sigh)

Re: Curiosity has landed

The problem Banned1 is that there is no sense of DECORUM on Mercury Server, I'm not sure why? In most public forums members either abide by certain general standards or they are banned. The general standards should be not to HIJACK a thread, instead start a new thread, and not cause a TRAINWRECK. The word trainwreck in this instance means to "DERAIL" the subject matter in a given thread intentionally.

MS is the wild wild west of electronic music. we cover wide expanses. Not just trance, not just house, not just techno, not just ambient, but just about everything.


If you demand 'decorum', might I recommend a more fascist board where even the slightest hint of dissent or banter is resolved with a permabannhammer?

Do we not have the 'block' function on this forum???

^^^No, it's called conversation in any other world, and if you read that email properly it is very much on topic. This thread had no credibility with that title anyway

Then start your own thread!

If a member starts a thread nowadays, great, and if for whatever reason their thread gives you ideas for a different TOPIC .............. which is basically how a message board works..........then start a new thread of your own with your new TOPIC.......

Going off on a completely unique tangent of your own doesn't help anything Mariner. Without some sort of organization, what do you expect to happen? Threads get KILLED.

It's as if there's a gang of rogue THREAD KILLERS here on Mercury Server nowadays who take pride in it.
