So now they finally admit they've not been doing Journalism for a long time now, just turning press releases into articles and marketing them.

What a surprise.

This must be why the 3rd party OS option was removed from the Playstation Slim! SONY *loves* them some customers! {cough}

But we need bacteria to live and digest food...sterility will kill us as surely as more vigorous bacteria. The real question this story raises is how to adapt spacecraft and spaceflight to create more human friendly environments.

"Big, bloated, inefficient government leads to big, bloated, inefficient corps, with no real innovation or market competition. "

Rarely have I read a more egregious pile of nonsense.

Big government causes big corporations which leads to market inefficiencies? What?

First of all, the more powerful governments are, the more powerful regulation is which *limits* the power and size of corporate power. Let's not forget that Government *represents* the People. Zero marks for electing idiots though...as Americans you should be taking responsibility for making sure your elected representatives do what you want them to.

Secondly, the fact that massive corporations have "no real {incentive to} innovation" and distort "market competition" should be encouraging so-called "Libertarians" towards greater government regulation.

Hmmm...maybe we already have so many of these pharmaceuticals in our water supply through excretion that the test doses aren't good enough any more...like all the supposed estrogen in the water supply through women taking the Pill?

In less than 50 years this "super" tuna will mate inter-species and the resultant "Godzilla" will come out from the sea and destroy Tokyo.

"Because the efficient market solution won't work, we're left with inefficient regulatory solutions."

What a load of clap-trap...read this and ignored the rest of the article as it's obvious they don't understand economics.
