It depends... Are we speaking about keeping only tall blonde kids? Or aborting a fetus with 95% Down syndrome? Angelman's? Some other even worse? Stopping a possibility fatal pregnancy? Where do you put the line?

So... Is this Aladeen news or Aladeen news?

Probably! Edit: actually, yes: https://www.amentumcareers.com/jobs/search?country_codes%5B%5D=AQ&page=2&query=Antarctica

That was two different things, I was checking if there are any fun offers there and found this one. I wouldn't start my plumbing career in -40C

I guess poop needs to go somewhere, too

Knowing the Germans there is a slight chance somebody going to court because it was advertised as 1.5€/kg, and winning

This, I remember that some 20 years ago when going to the Antarctica for a PhD seemed like a good idea, I found a job where they were looking for a plumber. The pay was insane at that time

Yes, I just wrote about that above. It's just the difference in cost between the two. How many large space observatories were there altogether? In the order of dozens maybe?

I tried that as well, but for me it was like being 10 again: -you meet the bandits -I, the lvl1 player kill them all -OK -I just remembered my party had a necromancer, raise the corpses -sure thing -I march around with my undead army and murder everyone who is in my way -This game is about creativity and cooperation -Not today -OK

Yes, and we are already doing that, VLBI uses dozens of telescopes, each of them larger that we could sensibly launch to space

We could, but it's way more expensive. There was a ~10m dish added to space VLBI, but the ground stations are several times larger, up to a few 100m. And you need dish size for sensitivity: in interferometry the largest distance between two telescopes gives the size of the synthetic instrument, but the size of the individual dishes fills up the detector.

Also, if something breaks it's almost impossible to fix in space.

Anything adjustable? I got a Merkur some time ago, and while I have a bunch of others that's my all-time favorite
