maybe you should call Dr Insano, he seems like he'd do all that
also, while you're at it, get an extra ticket to the moon for Bill O'Reilly

I'm actually a 'space guy' and in my daily work the biggest problem is that not all those in 'team science' are in it for this reason :\ Seriously, a surprising number of people is in it for the paycheck and the tax benefits (I train astronauts).
Depressing? I know...
But I will consider your input for the next discussion

We already have jetpacks. That one that was in the James Bond movie, I think that was the real thing. They did an NCIS episode on it. They exist. It's just no one wants you to have one, for the same reason that you want to be the only one who has one.
And, that thing about going to Mars and all that, I really don't see how tricking people into space travel is going to give us aliens. I think tricking us into believing in aliens has given us space travel.

I know this is just in good fun, but... science is... kind of diametrically opposed to lying. Falsifying data is one of the worst things you can do. Hell, we all make mistakes and get bad data that way perhaps, but lying? No can do, lest we end up like the cdesign proponentsists.
Point 2. Meat. Thanks Bob, have been saying this for years. Yes, I don't eat meat now, but 'meat substitutes'. But would so go back to eating meat if this was done.
And it solves two issues, not having to kill animals for meat and not having to torture as many animals for medical testing. Only the most fundamental animal rights person would still have a problem after this was invented...
Point 3. Space. So true...
Overall great episode.

I would be asking the same things as you Bob, but I was hit with the despair of dreamless capitalism several years ago. And by dreamless I mean the only dream is to have money and to make enough incremental steps to make it seem like we are progressing, but not enough to make EVERYONE pissed off that it's all about money.
Someone needs to watch the first episode again.Casual Shinji said:
Great episode Bob! Kind of like the Junk Drawer only with the science theme. Maybe we can get another one of these down the line? Also, a bear the size of a hamster would be the kind of pet that sells like a furby. I would want a couple but the thing to worry about would be the diet. I don't want to wake up with a partially chewed off anything.
...kind of surprised by the number of negative posts here...it's almost as though they forgot that this is an opinion show.

...i'm not sure what to make of this... i do wanna a jet pack, and a hamster the size of a bear would be awesome. for a little while at least. The cultured meat thing... ehhh... mybe it's just because i'm from texas, but somehow lab grown steaks just don't appease my appetite. I don't know, i'm omnivorous and really like meats. don't know i probably wouldn't know or be able to tell the difference but it's still something that kinda struck me as wrong.
