One sentence you could say to annoy an entire fan base?

Granted, but they are all the same wish you just wished I wish I there was a rope ladder to the moon.

No it can't. Where do you people come up with this stuff. Any tissue culture person who cross contaminates two cell lines and cannot tell should not be doing tissue culture. HeLa cells are a bladder cancer, there are kidney cancer cells from monkeys, chinese hamster ovary cells, astroctes (precursor to nerve cell), hybridoma, fibroblast cell lines, etc. There are markers associated with each cell line and the ATTC checks the cell lines periodically to see how they are doing. -
If i were any public entity, unless i want to poke out double or triple for a launch on my own turf, i would go with SpaceX. They currently do not have the openings for that level of bisiness so ULA is still in businees. No growth business makes profit, they are almost always reinvesting at a loss, they use the capitalization of equipment and buildings, and their growth potential as equity for loans for further expansion. They make a profit in theres of the fair market of their enterprise. Thats why liquidity is such a problem for growth enterprises. Right now SpaceX has a tremendous value if you are ULA. Some wealthy country like say saudi Arabia (during the next boom) or Singapore, maybe even Vietnam might want to buy them. SpaceX as far as i can tell, at least until the BC facility opens is not in a situation of having supply outstriping demand. i see other problems, in Europe tech infrastructure is not good, thier current economicals that the guiana facility may be such a loss that its not going to be used in light of stiffer competition. ESA is turning into a payload maker. I see SpaceX pulling in businesses and companies that don't have a launch capability, once the BC facility they will have greater autonomy from the govt and more trustable with trade secrets of oversees firms. Though i still think a launchpad on a volcanoe in ecuador is stilll a better idea. BC, boca chica. I know its called Brownsville but for me, it will always be called Boca chica.m

You can convince yourself of anything you like, so people beleive god put life on earth, some people believe the bear in Ursa brought life to Earth. I don't subscribe to mythical speculations, i am aware how life evolved after it got established and fine for me. i will note that your belief is leading because it allows support of your other belief that life is widespread locally, again its guessing without a smeg of evidence. I avoid subscription to leading beliefs. Mythology is a wonderful thing, theres even a science about that, but mythological depictions are not science.

Nevermind Fredinno, he acts like he is the expert on space flight from time to time. I Think spacex could load LEO orbit with fuel for their own projects given they are accumulation stress cores that musk says can refly but doesn't want to. Simply one more flight, remove the langing flip downs and the vanes. burn all the fuel and use the rocket on last time to get as much feul into orbit as possible. The only thing they loose is a much cheaper 2nd stage and the fuel for first stage,mwhich everyone agrees is a trivial part of the rockets cost. They might even have second stage come along that they cannot use for the original purpose.

Granted, we scramble you so now the egg appears unscramble to you. I wish every creature could fly except birds.

Well as long as they keep progressing and keep doing fashy things, human nature will ignore thier failings. As per folks going crazy in 18 months, not a problem they are going tomdie an hour after theybreach Mars anyway. All you have to do is have a positive suggestion video, convince them to take thier helmet off before the air runs out, and the disappear into happy happy sleep land. You could justify it, someome with a disease that would kill them in two or three years anyway, and create a very orecise GPS coordinate on Mars. You land the ship and the astronaut moves a 50 lb crabon fiber titanium cylinder, to that very precise GPS location he digs a small hole and buries part of it in the martian soil. At the top of the cylinder is a hook. He then goes out and fills the cylinder with rocks collected as many types for 10 hours or so. After the bin is full, he closes it, latches a top. He then walks away and finds a convinent place to not be. Another ship en route lands right on top of the cylinder just as the falcons land on the barge, if the naut is still alive he can go climb on top and catch a ride back into mars orbit. The basket is latched and reeled back into the ascent ship, protecting the naut from the ensuing liftoff stresses. That ship then docks with an unmanned capsule, which the naut can crawl into, a robot inserts the package and the ship returns to earth. I don't see survival of one individual as a problem, just provide lots of media and interactions, maybe an anatomically correct android, lol. A wife bot that complains alot about facial hair, lack of table manners, every six months some after fight make up conjugation, that should suffice a reset. lol. Though, personally i would not return to earth, i think Diemos is a better stopping point until you can find the right launch windows to return. I addition if i were that human, i think inwould ratger spend the remaining time building the foundations of a base, either on mars or a moon. something like a roman era bridge that uses martian stones to create a cosmic sheild the landable units can be inserted into. So if the lander ship left me a couple of months of supplies and maybe an outhouse to replinish my space suit. maybe a machine that can cut the rocks to the proper shape.

And you believed that because of the big sarcastic looking face? Yes it can work if the magnets are attached to a separate bar and you are the one turning it not the wind.

I think the governemet would probably hand them a rock sack and buy the ride back. Talk about a deal!

The worker strike speads and the smallest asteroid is redirected back to you flagship. My mission after contract settlements with my workers is to launch a probe core part from the sph.

My base is shaped like a big gigantic godzilla thorn, sendeing the godzilla smashing into dres in great pain. I replace the entire landmass of Kerbin with dynamite and the seas wuth nitroglycerine. KSC is replaced with anhydrous picric acid.

Probe over heats and sends back carbon fiber toothpicks. After nerfing the techtree the mission to build a urinal off the launchpad.

Stardust had dibs on it first. Whats with the cheese, anyway? -
The phantom was unvieled and found to be an optical illusion. I mine the entire kerbol system with proximity grenades designed to completely vaporiz anything within 100 km, next player.

But the addon was lost in the latest upgrade of KSP and it completely disappeared. the misiion is to build an outhouse just off the launch pad.

Too late, you found your self in a temporal sink created by your lateness, and unfortunately that sink ended up in a different game. (500 GB sata ramdisk, Intel i 5 quadcore - 3.1, 16 GB ram 1200, similarly rated vid card), my base ate your base and opened the temperol rift wider for yours to fall into. Sends another Nova bomb into the Kerbol from point blank range from the previous players temporal rift.

The further they get from Earth the smaller people get; its the sixth, shrinko, force of physics. Also the moon orbits the earth at the distance of your thumb. How come when people see animals at a distance, they always compare them to ants? -

Doesn't matter, just order a new frozen stock. Contamination is a frequent problem in tissue culture, nothing unusualnabout that. One of the more common ones is mycoplasms. -

Not sure what your point is.
