Granted. But due to previous space biological life discussions, I hate to corrupt it as well but.... it becomes a fungal hyper parasite which feeds on any animal life.
I wish I either had more likes or watched the likes that I do have closer

Oof. Take your time and don't burn out then.

Got to love these forums
Would it be worded better with the statement: there are at least as many different possible interpretations of an action as there are actions themselves. Any overt action that would draw attention regardless of its intention, can be misunderstood as threat, or as prey, this then logically points to a course of covert action should be the best path to follow until more information of a given situation is known.

how exactly would a biological spacecraft even move? expulsion of gas?
I also feel that maybe a completely biological spacecraft would lie in the realm of sci fi but maybe a biological computer could be interesting. Like the navigators from dune.
Mobility in space through any natural means I would imagine would be very slow. Moving along solar winds or other space phenomena could be problematic outside of a solar system.
Quite a few years ago I remember reading about experimenting with creating an actual computer created from brain cells. I don't never know what happened to that experiment or if it produced anything useful or not and can't seem to find reference for it.

Also a regolith-eating mushroom looks like a proper way to build a lunar base (if compare it to the NASA lunar base competition).
Fungal terraforming, among other uses, are being studied now which you know.
I think just the fact that life living in the vacuum of space would fall into a "primitive" way of doing something since the process happens naturally and unaided.
Hmm, maybe a hybrid of technologies could solve problems on both sides. But I think at that point it is no longer "primitive" per se.

It took humans tens of thousands of years to make a pug, bet it would take millions to make a spacecraft. In all seriousness biological ships are a fun idea to toy with.
Maybe not millions, but your point is most definitely not lost on me.

Granted. They recognize each other and become fast friends. There is only 1 USB standard for about one minute until USB C notices that hot little number Miss FireWire IEEE 1394 on an older sytem. Chaos ensues as C and A fight and resolve to never speak to each other again. Such is love.
I wish for better fans.

Here's a thought that I myself keep going back to and I am certain others have heard about this before as well.
Biological ships.
Living ships that are grown and changed through DNA manipulation. Hold on, stop laughing for a second and think tardigrades. They may be microscopic but can withstand some very extreme heat, cold, radiation and pressure.
So now the primitive part, how to manipulate DNA without modern gene splicing and editing techniques. You do it the same way that mankind did to dogs 30,000 years ago, or cats 8,000 years ago. It's already been proven that this can be done a lot quicker when it is targeted such as the famous Russian experiment.

May sound far fetched but it if you could get the animal to the point of surviving in space (which, by the way is actually plausible. Real space creatures could potentially exist already.. admittedly very doubtful to be the large Scifi type but nonetheless) then you need a way to get it out of Earth's atmosphere.
Just food for thought.

That's just Major general Plasmaball. He is none of the three and very hot so be careful.
Waiter! There is an empty bottle in my soup!

Granted. Dman gets his perfect russet potato, HyperDraco gets all the free time he needs while still making money, and ColdJ gets a nice, safe ride.to the bottom of Everest. Meanwhile you get a rotten regular potato, a pineapple and radish pizza, a lego crane that somehow always looses it pieces for you to step on, and a nice hot sandy desert to eat.
I wish for a faster computer.

In the future, one vessel is sent on it's mission. It's mission: to seek out new life, new cultures, to boldly go where no one went before in the deep depths of the universe. On it's journey, it encountered numerous life-forms, documented countless worlds, new systems in it's computers, chronicling the positions, figures, plus including their descriptions of huge complexity, which is known to be the universe. It split this burden with the people on the ship, which they too experienced the wonder of the deep yonder. But the vessel couldn't journey on forever, so it is destroyed by the life-forms it went out to study.
Nice!

I wish for a pizza.

There once lived this guy from Queens
Who's gestures were often obscene
But then he mistook
With merely one look
The mod observing him behind the scenes
Meh.... Doesn't quite fit correctly somehow.

To make it sound sweeter to explore.
Why don't tachyons get speeding tickets for going faster than the speed limit of the universe?

Its a hungry proton that ordered a physical burrito.
If a neutrino goes on a diet, would that be called a nutrisystem?
