Whomever stands to gain from policing the space. A mining corp might have private security, a criminal organization might want to maintain control by eliminating other criminals. But this is a science reddit, not science fiction

Just planting seeds isn't enough. If it was a hybrid they often don't have viable offspring or the offspring are different from parent hybrid plants.

The last stalk of silphium was given to empower Nero. They knew exactly what the plant was and they knew when it was no longer being cultivated.

Islam is not bad. People of Islamic faith are, in general, not bad.

There are certainly some bad apples... Religious fundamentalist fascists governments that use Islamic tenets as an excuse to repress their people yes. Religious fundamentalist terrorists that use Islamic tenets as an excuse to perpetrate violence, yes. But these are faults of men, not Islam

I think we need to grow some full size human brains in a lab and ask them (with imaging, dissection, and every other test conceivable) before we get any real answers

Doing cool things with microbrains already

You get different mutated strains each year. You also get respiratory viruses of different types (flu, rhinovirus, coronoviruses, rsv, etc)

some people having the same illness seasonally can also be attributed to environmental or other seasonal habits (cold dry air , more indoor activities, interaction with asthma , copd etc) with seasonal temperature and humidity conditions making someone prone to respiratory infection

You don't need air to push off of. Rockets, chemical thrusters, and ion engines work in space because they spit out some sort of propellant, spitting out mass in one direction pushes the ship in the opposite direction

nuclear bombs also work in space, you drop nukes behind you and they can push your craft in your desired vector

once you have reached your desired speed, you don't need to do anything to keep going. you WILL need to expend energy or mass to slow down when you reach your destination
