Haven't looked but pretty sure Huntsville did not vote Trump.

Reply to comment by lorrie_101 in New information about the role of a molecule found in chillis in reducing foot pain by healing damaged nerves. After three months, the team found that those who’d been treated with the capsaicin patch reported that their pain had reduced significantly, compared to those treated with standard care by Wagamaga
I've been looking. The patches in the article are 8% and prescription. Every patch and cream I have found OTC is 0.025%.

Looking for fresh water? I would think desalinating sea water would be more cost effective.

Reply to comment by chris_ut in TIL that the phrase "It was a dark and stormy night" was the opening line to an actual novel published in 1830, but runs on for another 51 words: "It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which..." by dylancatlow
As was the style at the time.

Ditto. Apparently there is some thought of a Johanna Constantine spinoff. Still waiting for Dead Boy Detectives, but with Doom Patrol getting axed I don't have my hopes up.

Reply to Local update on Saturn IB removal. More details given by US Space & Rocket Center. by bowties_bullets1418
I spent six years at Redstone Arsenal and it was always a marker traveling home to Virginia and back. Sad to see it go, but it is one of many of the rockets and missiles on display that have fallen to time and rust. Patrick Air Force base lost their entire rocket garden. Cape Canaveral lost several to hurricanes. White Sands seems to be faring better due to the dryer weather. One of my Pershing missiles is laying on a tarp in Missouri in three pieces.

Reply to Question: Who holds the record for longest time between astronaut selection and first spaceflight? by JarrodBaniqued
60 years. Wally Funk was one of the Mercury 13 and was selected in 1961. The M13 were women who underwent testing and training, but this was not an official NASA program. She flew on the first New Shepard flight in 2021.

Only one Buran was ever fully assembled and it made one uncrewed flight. It sat in storage in a hangar until the roof collapsed.

I'm sure. But there is some logic in separating sites and putting Space Force near major contractors. Although Huntsville is probably a target anyway. I suppose they have space since they moved the school. But I don't get paid enough to make those decisions.
