‘Conan the Bacterium’ can withstand radiation that could kill a human. Scientists say they’ve found its secret weapon
" A type of bacteria called Deinococcus radiodurans, nicknamed “Conan the Bacterium” for its ability to survive the harshest of extremes, can withstand radiation doses 28,000 times greater than those that would kill a human being — and the secret to its success is rooted in an antioxidant.

Now, scientists have uncovered how the antioxidant works, unlocking the possibility that it could be used to protect the health of humans, both on Earth and those exploring beyond it in the future."

He's not up to date with the latest research. That has shown that there are identifiable structures of the insect-to-be in the larval body content. Meaning that chemical metamorphosis is not as total as formerly thought and that physical memory from larva to adult form is not just possible, it's even likely.

I reckon it's a mistake to kick Pat Helsinger out. He may be too much an engineer than a money man but he's made intel leaner, fitter and given intel a better chance of survival against Chinese chip companies.

I have only seen large drones like that a few times when I was in cancun/tullum. They were flown by a bunch of Americans.

Every day for three weeks only at nighttime and 50 at a time?

I'm now starting to get a picture of how shallow, you and Ghost1951 are when it comes to analysing events, so I'm not surprised that you come up with weird views and opinions on other events and situations. It's the logic that's missing - the same logic you need to analyse and diagnose ebike problems or anything.
