Question: What if I invent a currency and then lie about its value to get people to invest in in?
Well...you will be arrested.
But what if I want their money more than the person who has it?
...Still illegal
That doesn't follow, no, I want it more, sir. This guy just doesn't understand ponzi schemes crypto.

According to the article, it seems like we never really bothered measuring the sounds because they weren't clearly audible to human ears like birds or dogs are.

Is that the same, or opposite of the ANTI-ANTI-SMOG GUN?

Even if we find evidence of recently-deceased life on another planet, it would rewrite every science book we have.

But you don't have to pay rent or order takeout, and you get to BE IN SPACE. I'd say that's a fair trade.

Reply to comment by Bubbert73 in ELI5: How did early settlers know the boundaries of their land claims? by GreenKeel
A very good point that sometimes they straight up didn't know for sure. Some claims overlapped or were worded so vaguely that the interpretations had to be settled in a court.

I mean, that statement is 100% accurate. Commuting bothers me to the point where I can't do it anymore. Life is far better without it.

*In mice, with sample sizes ranging from 5-10 among 6 different studies.
While interesting, it definitely warrants much more data, with larger human trials before a strong correlation can be stated.

That's the Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) antenna used to communicate back and forth with Earth through orbiting satellites around Mars. Not sure exactly what that cover is, but it likely helps with the signaling or protects it from the harsh environment.

Reply to comment by xGHOSTRAGEx in After DART: Using the first full-scale test of a kinetic impactor to inform a future planetary defense mission by EricFromOuterSpace
Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2
So a 100x increase in velocity equals a 10,000x increase in kinetic energy.
(although it isn't that simple because the asteroids aren't perfectly solid objects and are more like loose collections of gravel.)

Reply to comment by Kraagenskul in After DART: Using the first full-scale test of a kinetic impactor to inform a future planetary defense mission by EricFromOuterSpace
If there is a asteroid on a collision course with Earth, and it's big enough to cause some catastrophic damage, everyone on the planet will want some plan in action to make it go away. The simplest way to do that is to be able to do that is to alter the path of the asteroid ever so slightly that its course misses the Earth. Even though a satellite has very little mass, if you make it travel fast enough, you can impact enough velocity to give a big asteroid a nudge. Even if it's a tiny bit, that redirection propagating over millions of km will save the planet.
DART's mission target was actually a smaller space rock (roughly the size of the pyramid of Giza) that was orbiting a larger asteroid. Since they could easily detect the smaller rock's orbital period, they could calculate how much the impact would change its orbit. This would better inform scientists about what to expect from future redirect missions so that we could make a robust planetary defense system in case The Big One ever shows up.
