Talk about growing food in space as one possibility for the Mars Mission.
7,000 pounds of food per person for a five year mission. Well you can grow some of it I suppose. Having cargo ships deliver is also possible. (Space industry...farming?) Also it depends on the size of the ship used and the number of people going.

Graphene photocells could mean hyper-speed internet
"The latest study of miracle material graphene shows it could be used to provide
a much higher speed internet. Yet another application for the boffin collective's research darling could be high- speed optical communications, which hadn't seemed like a practical application up to now because graphene absorbs so little light, just around 3 per cent. But now scientists at the Universities of Manchester and Cambridge, including pioneers in the field of graphene research, have come up with a way to improve the substance's capture and conversion of light by sticking two closely-spaced metallic wires on top of it, resulting in an elementary solar cell."

Who ever gets their hands on the prototype could easily sell it to a competitor for thousands, if not millions, of dollars. So in a sense, it poses a threat to apple just like any other corporate espionage would. Just because it's self inflicted doesn't change much. And of course, we have no way of knowing if it was actually corporate espionage, we don't know for sure if it was an accident that he lost the prototype. I'm not about to cry "Conspiracy!" just yet, but with this much money involved I wouldn't put it past anyone. The fact that they were willing to go so far as to imitate police officers shows just how desperate they are though. |

Haha, I think giving someone a first-gen chemotherapy drug would be more dangerous and effective . Just injecting someone with mass-produced hBax would be simpler and cheaper, but the damage from cell death may not be lethal.
