>CRS-8 will be the first CRS mission to the ISS since the ill-fated CRS-7, and stowed in Dragon's trunk will be BEAM; a small Bigelow inflatable module to be attached to the station. The first stage, provided the barge is go to support a landing, will attempt to land downrange on OCISLY

A lot like Formula One, I only watch SpaceX rocket launches for the crashes.

Nice. Hope all works well
I'm asking the smart folks here at at /sci/ for an answer to the age old question. I honestly don't have any idea.

Much the same as they do today, to be honest.

People’s differences in cognitive functions are partly heritable and are associated with important life outcomes. Previous genome-wide association (GWA) studies of cognitive functions have found evidence for polygenic effects yet, to date, there are few replicated genetic associations. Here we use data from the UK Biobank sample to investigate the genetic contributions to variation in tests of three cognitive functions and in educational attainment. GWA analyses were performed for verbal–numerical reasoning (N=36035), memory (N=112067), reaction time (N=111483) and for the attainment of a college or a university degree (N=111114). We report genome-wide significant single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based associations in 20 genomic regions, and significant gene-based findings in 46 regions. These include findings in the ATXN2, CYP2DG, APBA1 and CADM2 genes. We report replication of these hits in published GWA studies of cognitive function, educational attainment and childhood intelligence. There is also replication, in UK Biobank, of SNP hits reported previously in GWA studies of educational attainment and cognitive function. GCTA-GREML analyses, using common SNPs (minor allele frequency>0.01), indicated significant SNP-based heritabilities of 31% (s.e.m.=1.8%) for verbal–numerical reasoning, 5% (s.e.m.=0.6%) for memory, 11% (s.e.m.=0.6%) for reaction time and 21% (s.e.m.=0.6%) for educational attainment. Polygenic score analyses indicate that up to 5% of the variance in cognitive test scores can be predicted in an independent cohort. The genomic regions identified include several novel loci, some of which have been associated with intracranial volume, neurodegeneration, Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia.

What should be NASA`s work?
NASA should be woried in produce capsules to ferry people to de ISS?
And the whole Journey to Mars™.It will work?
The SLS seems just a way to keep the shuttle beneffits roling again and not some real next step.What would be the best stuff NASA could do now,dump the SLS and start something new?
IMO:NASA should only make R&D and low profit investiments such as a Moon L2 space station or a moon outpost.The ferry and the vessels should be done by private companies like ULA,SpaceX and others.
your thoughts,anons.

>NASA should be woried in produce capsules to ferry people to de ISS?
No. Plenty of other people are already further ahead there, and NASA isn't going to be able to compete with them on price.
>And the whole Journey to Mars™.It will work?
No. From what I understand, nothing NASA currently has in the pipeline is going to be capable of that. And NASA doesn't have nearly the budget to start developing anything else as well.
>What would be the best stuff NASA could do now,dump the SLS and start something new?
I don't think so.
The SLS clearly wasn't NASA's call, and if it DOES get canceled it's just going to be replaced with something equally stupid. So stopping it now would just set everyone back even further.
>The SLS seems just a way to keep the shuttle beneffits roling again and not some real next step.
Maybe.
Right now SLS & Orion look pretty useless, but if NASA could make enough promises to actually get them built they might be able to get some use out of them. If they waited until the pointless validation flights they "promised" are over, then stripped out a bunch of the pointless shit a replaced some of the dumber parts then then they might actually be good enough. They'd still cost fucktonnes too much, but they'd fly and they could be the start of an actually decent Moon Base program.
There's plenty of really cool stuff we could do on the Moon, if we had a base there and a super-heavy to throw stuff at it.
I'd write more but I'm out of time.

>>Realize you're now bald, fat, on a low wage with all your dreams crushed.
everything was accurate up till here
I have a full head of hair and am actually getting skinnier because I do not eat anything at uni, I starve until I am so hungry I am forced to leave my room and get food
but yeah im probably lower than #452 in ability, i am probably in the bottom quartile of my class
That's why I took up to drawing furry porn

Here's mine:
We don't have enough to do to keep everybody busy doing something useful.
The whole "he fell for the STEM meme" meme is caused by everybody seeking out the "good" jobs creating a flood in the STEM job market.
But it's true in nearly all fields.
Before 1980, Murrica had a trade surplus.
We exported far more than we imported.
Today we import more than we export, but we have about the same level of employment.
Clearly, we're creating busy work.
well? it's clearly 50 % right?

DAILY REMINDER THAT DAVID HILBERT HAS SET BACK MATHEMATICS A CENTURY WITH HIS QUEST FOR CHILDISH RIGOUR.

IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE BASED GODEL WAS FOLLOWED INSTEAD OF FUCKING KEKKRAUT SHILLBERT. THIS IS THE WORLD I WOULD RATHER BE ON.

How long is the vector (picture related)? How do I find out? I think it is 2,45 but I don't know how to calculate this. I made it over set of Pytagoras and a drawing.
>>7998485
the length of (1, -1, 0) is sqrt(2)
the length of (0, sqrt(2), 2) is sqrt(5)
so it's sqrt5
2,23
unless you're starting at (0,0,0), then all that shit gives you is a direction.
If it's the former, use your trig.

Hey /sigh/, how do you explain that the Sun is placed at the EXACT center of the solar system?
If it was set at ANY other location, the whole system wouldn't be perfectly balanced and we wouldn't even exist.
And that's the undeniable PROOF of Intelligent Design.

The center of gravity is at the center of the solar system, and so the sun, as the object with the largest mass, remains in equilibrium there. If a larger star were to enter our solar system, it would move to the center, displacing our sun.
