I've been working on my post-processing skills. Here's another attempt at NGC 2244, the Rosette/Skull Nebula. [OC] [1888x1888]

Which side of the velcro does NASA put on items?

Kind of a strange question. But regarding Velcro, which side - hook or loop - is usually used on movable items (like tools, lunch trays or whatever) and which side to surfaces (like walls, clothes, etc?) I would imagine they try to keep it consistent so a tablet, for example, could be attached to a pants leg or a wall just as easily.

Is NASA slowly dying? Heard that Space x rocket will fly to the moon.

Is NASA technology and even the agenda itself slowly dying? They want use Space x rocket for the mission to the moon. How long NASA will exist?

Bioastronautics/Aerospace PhD after BS in Chemistry

Sorry if this type of question is asked a lot. I studied biochemistry in undergrad with minimum math and physics. No engineering. I'm planning to go to medical school in a MD/PhD program, which affords the ability to practice medicine and pursue translational, patient-driven research. Most people in this program get PhDs in biology, genetics, etc, but in my gap years after graduating I became really inspired about bioastronautics. However, I do not have many of the prereqs like advanced maths and calc-physics. But I am strong in the biology side of it and likely would have a more biology-focused thesis. Is there any hope for me perusing one of these programs without needing to get another BS or something? Or any options for a PhD that is not officially bioastronautics, but similar enough that I could pursue that type of work after graduating?

My take on astronomy tattoos!

More like a tribute to humanity advancements on observing our universe.
