kerbiloid Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Interesting fact. You have ~100 times more chances to fly to space as a government astronaut, than to become a billionaire and buy a "civilian flight" yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdJ Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 And yet a billionaire and their select few just got to orbit the Earth further out than most Astronauts ever have. It is funny how statistics never seem to stop people in reality from doing what they strive for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have ~35 times 9 Apollo + Hubble Shuttle more chances to get farther from the Earth than any billionaire had ever gotten to.

ColdJ Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Imagine the first person who said "I am feeling dirty" "I will just get some animal fat and ashes, mush them together and rub them all over my body, and then I will be nice and clean."

There are a lot of things like this in life. Where you think, "The first guy who tried this out was a nutjob. A genius. But a nutjob."

He was just covered with fat as usually, and fell asleep into the smoldering campfire. The tribe started pouring water on him, and suddenly noticed that he is clean. This way both soap and bath were invented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Potassium is half of the Sodium/Potassium Pump that enables your muscles to work, eating enough K to attempt to get radiation poisoning would cause heart failure long before you reach that point. Hence why high dose Intravenous injections of Potassium used to be one of the main drugs used in lethal injections. Lower doses are still used for therapeutic cardiac treatments. So yes, K poisoning is a thing.... just not in the awesome gain super powers while doing it kind of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
