Interesting. I didn’t think of this but makes sense due to lack of gravity/lack of weight-bearing activity, so osteoblast production would be inhibited over time. I wonder if they take any of the osteoporosis meds to counteract

Astronauts actually do an impressive amount of resistance training while in space in order to stimulate bone growth.

To get to Pluto in a spacecraft traveling 35,000 miles an hour would take 12 years. To pass Pluto and continue to the outer edge of our solar system would take another 10,000 years

Mind-blowing Random Thoughts: Women in Computer Science mini-series, Part 1.

Ada Lovelace is widely considered to be the first computer programmer. She published the first ever algorithm intended to be carried out by a general-purpose computing device. Moreover, she did so in 1843, well in advance of the invention of the modern computer, and the machine it was designed for did not even physically exist yet. This machine was Charles Babbage’s “Analytical Machine”, which, had it ever been built, would have been an impressive contraption of wheels, gears, and levers “about the size and weight of a small railway locomotive.” She wrote extensive notes explaining the machine to other scientists of the day, to accompany an article by another scientist, and were about three times the length of the article itself, and became well-known in their own right. They included this algorithm that eventually brought her recognition.

Remarkably, in these notes she also predicted the ability of computers to be used for far more than just calculating numbers. She even gave as an example, the potential of a computer to “compose… music of any degree of complexity or extent”, which didn’t come about until over a hundred years later, and to this day is still an area of ongoing research.
