[quote:Anonymous Coward 1240046:MV8xMzM0NjgzXzIxOTM5NDEyX0VCNUU3NzU=] [b]AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH why is everyone talking about wacking off in space and tits in space and sperm flying around in space????[/b] in thunder and lightning are angels bowling, then comets and asteroids are angels blowing loads. ANYWAY, out of all seriousness: NASA has already reported and PROVED::: -Due to radiation in space, the lifespan is severely lessened. -Due to NO gravity the fluids in your body do not follow the NORMAL forced downward, fight back up routine caused by Earth's UNIQUE gravity to our CARBON based bodies. In space your body fluids are still FIGHTING to pump upwards, yet NOT being FORCED back downwards - resulting in bloating of the upper body, excess fluid in the brain, heart beat arrhythmia(sp?), etc, etc. -Due to NO MAGNETIC FIELD, sleep patterns are SEVERELY HAMPERED - even with strong sedatives many astronauts report only 2 maybe 3 hours of sleep. Brain functions start to behave abnormally and the normal electrical pulses throughout the body (nerves etc) start to behave abnormally. Short term and -possibly- long term memory is affected gradually. -Due to NO gravity, bone density and muscle mass is gradually degraded. "After a 3-4 month trip into space, it takes about 2–3 years to regain lost bone density." (Quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_medicine ) There is lots more, but they are the main few I've read about a bit - all can be found through google and even wikipedia. *ALSO* From soooooooooooo many reports, it is said that the Van Allen Belt is too irradiated for humans to be able to pass though unaffected - apparently you'd need solid lead shielding AT LEAST 6 feet thick to protect from radiation ***which throws in the question of the whole 'moon landing' seeing as they would of had to pass through the Van Allen Belt in their Pepsi-can thick sealed airplane - which is said to be IMPOSSIBLE in those cercumstances*** Once again - I am NOT a religious person, but I do not deny religion - anyone after truth IS a true christian/jew/hindu/muslim/etc/etc/etc. It's just the ORGANIZATION as a whole - all with the ONE RULE "It's our way or NO way". **BUT NOT EVERYONE CAN SAY THAT AND BE TELLING THE TRUTH???????** But what i'm getting at, is that it MAY SEEM like the Van Allen Belt POSSIBLY blankets the Earth - and the ONLY REASONABLE EXPLANATION ***if this WERE the case*** would be that the Van Allen Belt was PUT THERE to STOP US from LEAVING THE PLANET. I know it seems stupid BUT my reasoning is: - There SEEMS to be enough truth that LOW ORBIT SPACE TRAVEL is POSSIBLE - space flights, space station, satellite repair, etc, etc. The Hubble Telescope repair is one such event. - BUT why did every country on the planet suddenly DROP the idea of LIVING on the MOON - just because the USA said 'nah, we had enough now' it seems everyone else stopped as well - but wasn't Russia 'competing' ANYWAY STILL?? Wouldn't Japan or China want their NAME on the map even more gloriously??? What HAPPENED - EVEN TODAY KIDS DREAM OF GOING TO THE MOON!!!!!! So why is the Moon such a 'taboo' place to colonise????? - The idea of colonising Mars. That was funny - instead of going for a walk down the block to the Moon and starting there, they give the impression that they will need 50 or 100 years and trillions and trillions of dollars for research and development to travel to a dead planet trillions and whatever light years of parsecs or whatever away??? - NASA are just TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO secretive with their satellite photos - ONLY releasing what they WANT - some disappearing forever - some totally photo-shopped - some photos so grainy and black and white from a camera that's supposed to be millions of dollars advanced - THE LIST GOES ON. Why HIDE ANYTHING AT ALL?????? Does anyone know of Mount Rushmore (joking) you can take high def photos from every angle, from any location, anytime you want - detailed photos from it's construction can be found with minute detail as to see peoples pupils in their eyes. You wanna know why you can do these things? BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE. With all of NASA's secrecy, I believe them as much as I believed mum and dad when they said the presents were from some fat dude I never met. At least mum and dad came clean and eventually put 'from mum and dad' on the label. [/quote]

I beg to differ. If you read the article the changes that were displayed were most likely a direct result of the change of environment during the fertilization and developing process. The fish mutated simultaneously to better fit the environment it assumed it would be living in. This gives weight to the idea that evolution can happen nearly instantaneously in a species when the environment changes dramatically.
