There's intentional discrimination out there. It's not just about historical inequality.

This is great news. NASA looks to start building a real space industry, not just to use a few prototype ships to ferry supplies to the ISS. I wonder if NASA's role will shift to more of an administrative and supervisory agency over pri

lol, so we would still have an over 50% chance of living to 1,000 years old? That sounds pretty good if you ask me. And this is without even considering other technological advances that would increase safety during the time from 75-5000? H
