I’m the designated jar opener in my family, if they bring it to my couch while I’m watching the news, I’m sure I can get it open in a couple seconds. Then they can say the customary thank you, which is “oh, I must have loosened it.” and then leave.
Multiple combination wrenches (spanners). Most other brute force methods are obviously out.
Use a hex bit on the bolt, one small wrench to grip the bit and chain a few wrenches together for leverage. They will wrap around in an approximate circle for a small space.
I think it will never not blow my mind that south Texas is a legit space port. (That’s assuming it plays out as planned, of course. I think we still have to see if environmental concerns outweigh the development opportunity?)
Well, there’s a balloon launch site further up the coast in Wharton, I think, that they were calling a space port, but I always thought that was a little bit of humor. It’s different for me to imagine driving down to the valley to see a monster rocket go to Mars.
I wouldn’t call 40 millions years far older, it’s basically the equivalent to a 3 months difference between two 30 year olds. If anything the amazing part is how we are able to determine this with such level of precision.
I’m not a biologist. The only context I have regarding rapid cellular reproduction in space is the 2017 movie “Life” where a fictional alien implies doom for humanity and all of Earth as we know it.
Are there any positives to this news? My understanding is that multi-celled organisms have a hard time repairing themselves in microgravity; bones in particular being affected among other processes. Hoping the research being conducted here helps advance medicine on that front.
I can only imagine what having the runs is like in space. Super powered E. coli coursing through your gut sounds extra…you know 💩
Could potentially be used to create better strains of “good bacteria” such as the extremely important ones that make up the human gut microbiome. I could see it maybe being useful for the development of antibiotics and vaccines too!
