Cosmic radiation is pretty easy to stop. 100 miles of atmosphere, about 10 feet of water, or a few feet of rock will do just fine. There is a lot of rock on the moon.
Nothing in space will really help with the climate crisis, imo. It will help humanity a lot if we get past it, tho.
I was going to say near misses are usually classified as passing withing the orbital distance of the moon, about 225k miles, or 250k miles for convenience.
Single best reason to buy parmesan flakes or chunks.
Also important to know if you have a wood/smoke allergy.
House hippos look pretty cute!

Yeah, I thought about it after and realized it was probably a different tech, but the point is reliable breeder reactors are possible, and certain medical tech is reliant on their existence.
Canada has CANDU breeder reactors, still in use. They also produce the majority of medical isotopes.
According to Wikipedia, and data for the last century, there were 73 annular and 71 total eclipses, which is pretty close to the same. List of 20th century eclipses. Now, I haven’t checked to see if there are more of one than the other in the eclipse cycle, but given the difference of 2 over a century and the cycle taking 18 years, it can’t be more than one.
But see them while you can. In the distant future, there won’t be any total eclipses.
I traveled to see the annular eclipse in October, and I’m traveling to the path of the total eclipse next month. I’m sure they both will be amazing experiences. My last total eclipse is decades ago.
In short, I disagree with this meme.
To add to your list. You could still get checks in Canada as of a couple years ago, but virtually no one does that outside of some seniors who refuse to move on.
I think the only english-speaking people in North America who know this read Hamlet in high school.
That said, I’m pretty sure all of us picked our mates because of traits we found desirable. Some of those traits are certainly genetic.
I’ll grant you that…
Twitter was never good, it was just popular.
Probably what that viking said the night before.
