Seems like these waterbears should be studied to see if we humans can learn their survival secrets!

Outer space – tardigrades are the first known animal to survive in space. On September 2007, dehydrated tardigrades were taken intolow Earth orbit on the FOTON-M3 mission carrying the BIOPAN astrobiology payload. For 10 days, groups of tardigrades were exposed to the hard vacuum of outer space, or vacuum and solar UV radiation.[37][38] After being rehydrated back on Earth, over 68% of the subjects protected from high-energy UV radiation revived within 30 minutes following rehydration, but subsequent mortality was high; many of these produced viable embryos.[27][39] In contrast, dehydrated samples exposed to the combined effect of vacuum and full solar UV radiation had significantly reduced survival, with only three subjects of Milnesium tardigradum surviving.[27] In May 2011, Italian scientists sent tardigrades into space along with other extremophiles on STS-134, the final flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour.[40][41][42] Their conclusion was that microgravity and cosmic radiation "did not significantly affect survival of tardigrades in flight, confirming that tardigrades represent a useful animal for space research."[43] In November 2011, they were among the organisms to be sent by the US-based Planetary Society on the Russian Fobos-Grunt mission's Living Interplanetary Flight Experiment to Phobos; however, the launch failed.

Lee my heart breaks for you.  Just remember we are spiritual beings seeking a human experience.  Know very well that all the  hardship and suffering you are experiencing is nothing but a mere lessons for us to learn here in the physical.

Thank you, superhero.   You're quite considerate.
A spiritual teacher I knew decades ago said to me face:  "Some things can only be learned in the physical body as we experience feelings and life situations on this physical plane."

Exactly.   I know what she meant.   I can do the best I can while I'm alive and try to set the best self-actualized personal example I can.   We all can.   Maybe a few Members can learn from what I just wrote, as well?

   The energy of creation 's ultimate truth is a divine oneness of love.  To understand what love is, you must experience the opposite of it.  That's the only way we can grow to higher and higher conscious.  Good luck to you lee.  Hugs.

You have the Truth as I know it to be in my Heart.   Right.   I couldn't have said it any better.   Wherever I go from here, I do what I can to survive honestly and be true to my Belief as it was said to me---and it's true for me---"I'm a Jew and I'm not perfect."   

That's the best I can do.   I think it's enough.   For me, anyway.

Mazel Tov,   Good luck, superhero, wherever you go and whatever you do.

In reference to posted reply #3624...

I'm also referring to my incorrect reference to the failing U.S. economy with this article as actually being  from the locally available Epoch Times, notthe equally local and available, El--Reportero  newspaper.

http://m.theepochtimes.com/n3/553225-peter-schiff-us-economy-screwed-up-stock-market-a-bubble-video/
       (This article loads and runs as usual on this borrowed computer.)

Okay, right:
       This is the truth, the way I see it.   I said all along the American economy was headed for a downturn and this is more recent info.   There was WAAAAAAAY!!!!!! too much money borrowed to pay it back.   Impossible!!!   The rest of the country and world haven't caught on yet.   They will, eventually, and then the American economy will be history.   Just as the subject of this thread implies. 
       WilbyInebriated asked, "When?"   Human free will cannot be screwed with.   This 'collapse' can be predicted by someone like me, but free will, will dictate exactly when this will happen.   Apparently, he didn't understand that.

He no longer replies to what I say in rebutting his formerly snide remarks, yes?  I   assert   I was told about him and he was told about me.   He knows this now.   He used to piss me off until I was   told   the things I was.

Right.   Got any comments now, Wilby...?   I can't speak as freely as i did before, since I have a job that requires a certain amount of verbal discretion on my part.   That's the way it is.
       However, I don't expect anything out of you and you know why, don't you?   Surprise me:   Respond to this 'persecution' by me.   I can probably stand up to your unflattering remarks---if you have any---and give you, verbally, what you give me.   I was getting tired of your shit until I was told the truth.   The truth cannot always be told, for reasons you should understand.

Do you still have comments / questions / remarks / allegations / attempted insults / self-inflicted, shoot-yourself-in-the-foot flubs?
       Yes, No, Maybe?

Right, I thought so.

From what I hear the average american worker gets 32 hours of work a week.Does not get benefits as a result of being part-time workers.Our leaders are now talking about an unemployment rate of 6.1% in the last part of 2014.This number does not take into account those who are working part-time and wish for more employment nor does it take into account those whose who has stopped looking for work.In the St.Louis area they are talking about Scott Airforce Base which pumps 2.3 billion dollars into the local economy being in danger of being shut down.So several senators and others have joined together, they are appealing to the federal government to keep the base open.triffid
