Re: [DIYbio] Re: CyanoKnights - Cyanos on Mars - Experiment piggybac at MarsOnemission

>I refuse to respond to anymore of your emails. You have no experience in developing experiments for Space or other Planets or Extrasolar bodies so you make lots of conjectures.

You know about experimental designs for extrasolar bodies? Kool, share the literature.

You can refuse all you want (refusenik ;)). In fact who you are doesn't really matter.
I don't view this as email, it isn't really addressed to you. The fact that an individual is stepping in as an authority figure on the issue does. You addressed this project as though it cannot be uprooted and transplanted to another organization. If it is acceptable in one organization, why wouldn't it be acceptable in another?

You seem to be having thread fits all the while NASA is doing the same on a CubeSat budget. You know, probably LEDs, Arduinos and such. The very thing you are advocating against. These first missions are symbolic rather than scientific. Now that's being realistic.

Do other organizations exist? yes they do.
Can they be applied to? There are some guidelines, deadlines, and quotas but yes they can.
Will they go with the idea of some DIYer(s)? ... No, not when they don't even have enough funds to in their budget for their own creative people.

>It also appears you are trying to instigate a flame war.
Nope, just trying to show how pretentious people can get. If it appears to you any other way remind me to add emoticons.

You are being unreasonable towards an organization without having proof that it's a pipe dream. They are an NPO. For all you know they could hire advisors to get the job done. All they could be doing now is securing funds for advisors and feasibility testing. Let them pick an experiment first and then design the tools to accommodate their chosen experiment.

Your conjecture on earth storms being equivalent to Martian storms is based on the idea that if a parachute inflates in Martian atmosphere to slowdown terminal velocity of an object hurtling down, then it's speedy but virtually massless winds should be enough to rip a greenhouse to bits. Yeah.

>Understand sending a sample to the Moon is completely different, the sample can be returned, we can analyze the sample for many different genetic, epigenetic, &c effects.

In the mounting confusion, What hat did you pull the moon out of? And why should we not have that ability with Mars? Why grow anything on the moon when you can grow it out in microgravity?

Even if you never retrieve the samples, you can still retrieve the data for the "genetic, epigenetic, & c effects" (the last one is what ???)

>"The project I think you read about online that was weakly proposed by Chris McKay is not comparable to sending something to Mars."

You think? Read the article.

So you all this time you were displeased with the wrong site?
