Packing for our longest journey (transport required for space travel debated, but what to take?)

OTOH, there's this: 80-Year-Old Man Hasn’t Watered This Sealed Bottle Garden Since 1972 And It’s Still Alive

Not saying the situation Davies is concerned about isn't almost infinitely more complex than a few plants in a bottle, but it does argue that we may not have to fully understand every little interaction between every two or three bacteria on the spaceship in order to get it right for our astronauts.

Millennial will not go if there isn’t any WiFi.

If it’s anything like Europe, make sure you pack some washcloths.

[dfwgator]

A towel!

And Don’t Panic!

Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Volume 1 & 2, of course.

Justice Kavanaugh and Beer

[LibWhacker]

Definitely beer, man! If they forget the beer, the spacemen will be rioting in a week.

Beer

---------------

That is why the Pilgrims ended up in desolate Massachussets...They ran out of beer to make it further south to better living conditions.

Speaking of beer, sobering fact #1:

Organic matter is edible only when its biochemistry closely matches that of the consumer. Even on Earth, the vast majority of organisms are not suitable for human consumption. There is no reason to suppose that terrestrial biochemistry, which is highly specific to both the conditions on our planet and the accidents of evolutionary history, is universal.

My choice will be cases of crème of wheat, peanut butter, bread, vitamin C, distilled water, TV, an intergalactic Amazon Firestick, and a Ruger Mini14...

Okay, I think the debate is over; we're going to have to take every darned thing! :-)

Might be wanting a bit of rope.
