Worldbuilding

The words “war crime” have been thrown around a lot lately. But what is a war crime? Here’s the answer:

But if it’s so simple, why hasn’t it been invented earlier? Watch and see:

So you’ve got a problem: you’re sending people on a year-long voyage with no gravity, and people don’t work well without gravity.

Aquaponics is growing plants on water, and breeding fish beneath the water. It’s like your own custom ecosystem in miniature, and it takes a lot less resources than traditional agriculture, not to mention land.

From the rain.

You can’t make this things up. See the video:
