Yep! The only people I've ever known who were (literally) "on steroids" were uniformly and without exception psychopathic jerks. It's a stupid epithet, frequently used to describe the exact opposite of the sentiment it tries so pathetically to convey. Phrase ought to be retired.
More on topic: I'd love to see a mission or more focussed on exploring interstellar regions. I'll bet there's a whole lot more we'll learn there, even though I'll be long dead by the time it rolls around.
- DrBazza 4y ago> I'd love to see a mission or more focussed on exploring interstellar regions. Yes. I did like the article, eventually, buried in the details, was "twice the speed of Voyager", and "can't gravity assist past the Sun, no real saving and might go wrong".
- mlindner 4y agoSteroids are used for a lot of medically important uses. I used steroidal inhalers to heal my throat/lungs after a flu-like something several years ago. Worked wonders.
- mikro2nd 4y agoYes, of course you're right, and I was in error thinking only of the people who use steroids for non-medical purposes, and forgetting that there are many legitimate applications. My bad, and I apologise for that oversight.
