Do you have to use heat shielding on the drones to keep them from burning up?

But the way they weave the drama into their stories is amazing.

It's not when you have better longer lasting options like psilocybin therapy that can see patient symptoms go into remission for a year or even longer. It can treat root causes of mental illnesses leading to better outcomes and you don't have patients being dependent on many ketamine infusions per year. Don't get me wrong it's great they're finally trying different things besides antidepressants but I see psilocybin as much more efficacious comparatively.

Ketamine is showing a lot of promise for treating depression. The effects are relatively short term though. Patients need another infusion every couple months or so.

How much of a benefit is a space elevator on Mars where gravity is much less compared to Earth?

25mg of pure psilocybin is equivalent to 5 grams. Roland Griffiths, who does these sorts of trials at Johns Hopkins has specifically said they modeled the dosage off of what Terrence McKenna would call a heroic dose.
