Yeah I see this as closer to those famous moths form England that changed color due to soot. It’s a small enough phenotype change that I’d say it should be allowed.

So, there is this rule established by hydro:

Species Rules
Sub-Species Rule

For the purpose of this game there shall be no physical differences in sub-species. If you want a species to look diffrent in a specific biome then they must replace or split off and become a separate species specified for that environment. Note that this rule dos not effect sexual dimorphism, life cycle metamorphosis or any other physical change that can happen to a species.

Though these are less specific than a full on physical differences, and is more like shades of hair color in mammals.

Meh it's a small nitpick.

Hey WereCynognathus, you going to join this gen? There's still a few spots left in Gen 161

The opportunity shrew took the last spot in 160

It's still missing every image, so opening it up wouldn't do much good right now since it has nothing to look act really besides descriptions.

India found it. Water on the moon is very important, it could allow use to build ships that can travel to Mars in a fraction of the time.

the gives a question: why an space station if we have the whole moon??

Because the moon has gravity while the space station has none.


QUOTE (penumbra espinosa)

that doesnt have sense, or at least i dont get it.


QUOTE (Building Blocks)

also the moon is out of the way

It's less expencive this way...for now.

On the getting to mars faster thing, on a special on the science channel they were talking about ships with a giant parachute that catch the explosive force of the ice, after doing something to it that I forget the specifics of, that propels it at speeds much faster then rocket fuel.

guess what burning solid rocket fuel makes.


QUOTE (MNIDJM)

I remember now, they use a concentrated beam of light to over heat the ice as such a rapid pace it causes an explosion.

how about plasma and solar sails??

There are two problems with the moon:
1. on the moon, it costs about $8,000,000,000 to get one gallon of DRINKABLE water to the moon. 8 billion dollars for 1 gallon of water? INSANE!
2. it's easier to build in zero gravity than in weak gravity.

Hi, all. In this thread I'll post once in a while interesting finds in popular biology and other sciences related to Sagan 4, enjoy.

Here's something I recently read about in National Geographic and found interesting:

A simulation of evolution
That's pretty awesome, also the tech for simulating such things is probably WAY better now than in 1994, so now it'll probably be awesomer if done today.
