The paint is going to be the hardest part I've learned over the years. I like the nebula idea would mind doing that if it reacts to blacklights

Blind the windows. Turn down the heat. Vacuum seal it and draw all the air out.

Has anyone seen a spacesuit of decent quality that is cut in half to fit flush on a wall?

Stick-on glow stars for the ceiling would be cool if available. Otherwise maybe a dark or medium blue for the walls with nebula/galaxy designs?

Lets just make sure all the people going to Mars actually want to go and are guaranteed liberty and pay for their labour...
Our track record with colonizing 'new worlds' doesn't really exude valuing human life...

I get so sick of the "always success" motivational bullshit you see all the time out there.
If you're not failing sometimes, you're not trying hard enough. You're not accomplishing enough. You're not risking enough. But when you do your best, although you WILL fail sometimes (and it does feel like shit), you will keep on going anyhow.
I live in Japan, where we have a saying, which translates:
"Knocked down seven times? Then GET UP eight!"

That’s a question for people who willingly choose to risk their lives going to space. You wouldn’t do it, I probably wouldn’t, but who are we to say what others can and cannot do with their lives?

That's some Battlestar Galactica 1980 trauma right there.

It isn’t self sustaining because there is literally zero reason to do so. No one even bothers. Cheaper to ship stuff to it

The optimal number of mission failures is not zero.
The optimal number of airliner crashes is not zero.
The optimal number of toads in your ice cream is not zero.

They volunteer, that’s why. Safetyism is fucking annoying.

Failure is a core component of science. You fail until something works, and document it all. Science implies failure.

In science to have 0 failures you should do nothing.

I just learned you can hit the Aa in upper corner and it shows it in reader mode getting around the paywall.

Hydrogen emission is red. Oxygen is blue-green. These are true colors and make up the bulk of emission. Other elements do produce colors, neon is red too, for instance. Emission happens when gases are ionized and then recombine--excited electrons leave the atoms, then rejoin. Photons of characteristic color/energy are released upon recombination, hence the red of hydrogen and blue-green of oxygen. Hydrogen is common in "stellar nursery" nebulas, hence they're mostly reddish. Planetary nebulas often show a lot of green due to doubly ionized oxygen.
The so-called Hubble palette is actually false color, produced with narrowband filters--sulfur is shown as red, hydrogen as blue, oxygen as green.

I think the exclusion of a statment that they wanted to keep the job at least bars them from the failure to keep. Its hard to argue against them failing to do anything unless the objective is to do nothing then successfully doing nothing surely can't be comparable to failing to do anything....can it?

It's the result of different gases and dust particles being illuminated by nearby stars!

Tyson explained it. The telescopes see in infrared. We do not. We see RGB. So the telescope sees multiple frequencies and translates invisible (to our naked eye) light into light we can perceive.

I'd find it really hard to believe if they don't have decals for that sort of thing. Hand painted would be awesome but not everyone is able to do that well hehe.
