Why???? Because their habitat/home range is being decimated. Humans are destroying 1000's of years of stable ecosystems, not only removing biosystems across the planet, we're destroying the #LifeSupportSystems that allowed us to exist.. No other animal does that.

Thank you, I never cease to be amazed at how wonderous & beautiful the biodiversity of life is on this #BlueGreenPlanet 💙🌏💚 If I was the boss of the world, I'd jail anyone who hurt or destroyed ours, & all beings #LifeSupportSystems 🐨🦦🐻‍❄️🦉🐸🦇🦘🦎🐜🦅🦜 #ToPrecious2Plunder

🌠BioTech: Space-to-Earth — how engineering built for space reshapes life on Earth.🌍 Human survival depends on clean water. In space, every drop must be captured, purified, and trusted inside a closed system. To meet that challenge, engineers developed advanced filtration and microbial control technologies for long-duration missions aboard the ISS. Those space-driven advances informed water purification systems now used on Earth, from hospitals and rural clinics to emergency and disaster-relief operations. As the science evolved, these same principles influenced nanomembrane and biotech systems designed to remove pathogens, chemical contaminants, and certain microplastics with greater precision. This progress builds on pioneering work by @ParagonSDC and its founder @Granttdh, whose innovations in life-support and environmental control helped lay the groundwork for modern closed-loop water systems. What began as a necessity for spaceflight continues to shape how we protect life on Earth. 👀 Next up: nanosensors born from space science.

The #ClimateCrisis & #BiodiversityCollapse is bought to you by consecutive Gov's who enabled the Corporation to #CookthePlanet This is deliberate #Ecocide .. knowingly, & with impunity, destroy our #LifeSupportSystems #EcocideIsACrime

TECHNOLOGY NEWSWIRE: China Readies Shenzhou-20 Crew for Second Tiangong Spacewalk China’s Manned Space Agency said that the three astronauts of the Shenzhou-20 mission will conduct their second spacewalk from the Tiangong station in the coming days. The operation will be the crew’s second extravehicular activity since the mission began and will further test the outpost’s life-support and robotic systems. Mission commander Senior Colonel Chen Dong and fellow astronauts Colonels Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie have been aboard Tiangong since 25 April. The agency said both the crew and the station remain in good condition and fully prepared for the continued incremental build-up of operational experience on its independently run Chinese orbital complex. #Shenzhou20 #Tiangong #Spacewalk #Space #ChineseAstronauts #SpaceMission #ExtravehicularActivity #TiangongStation #ChenDong #ChinaMannedSpace #SpaceExploration #Astronauts #Technology #OrbitalComplex #ChineseSpaceProgram #TiangongSpacewalk #SpaceNews #Aerospace #LifeSupportSystems #RoboticSystems #SpaceStation #ChenZhongrui #WangJie #SpaceOperations #ChineseSpaceAgency #EVAMission #SpaceResearch #AstronautTraining #TiangongMission #SpaceInnovation #OrbitalOutpost #SpaceAdvancement #ChinaInSpace #China #SpaceWalk2025 #TiangongCrew #SpaceScience #MannedSpaceflight #SpaceDevelopment #ChineseSpaceTech #TiangongOperations #AstronautLife #SpaceExplorers #MissionControl #SpaceAchievements

My little #artproject with versions of the #moon and the future meaning of the moon for #humanity, about #Artemis2 and what #medicalchallenges a moon mission poses to the involved people. My #photographic-artistic moon versions are based on a moon photograph that I took in autumn 2023. I was inspired by the fact that it, at least part of it, can be clearly seen from Earth, but in a far #future, populated by humans, it will surely look different due to human #infrastructure and traces of #mining of #mineral #resources. "#Spreadingout may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth." This is what renowned astrophysicist #StephenHawking said to the BBC (link below). Certainly the most important physicist and intellectual of our time looked into a bleak future for humanity on earth and expected that future #humanmade #catastrophes, such as #globalwarming and #wars, would no longer enable #survivalonearth. Which is why according to him the construction of #extraterrestrialcolonies must be a primary goal within the next hundred years. Artemis 2 is the second mission of the #Artemisprogram and aims to transport the #Orion MPCV #spacecraft to the moon, more precisely into #lunarorbit, namely in September 2025 with a crew of four astronauts. The Artemis project, which can also be understood as preparation for future Mars missions, is a series of three NASA programs, in which the other international space agencies ESA, JAXA and CSA are also involved. Ultimately, the main goal is to establish a permanent lunar research station as part of Artemis 3. However, Artemis 2 will not yet pursue the goal of landing on the moon, but will involve an orbit around the moon, which will take at least ten days in total. The aim is to test spaceship technologies, especially #lifesupportsystems. The #launchvehicle will be an #SLSBlock1 in the configuration with four RS-25D engines in the central stage. Although this manned lunar mission will not include a lunar landing, it is still the first manned lunar mission since #Apollo17 in 1972, the year I was born. Of course, a #lunarstation cannot be used directly to establish human colonies there. First of all, it is used for #research. Aspects that need to be closer studied and evaluated include medical issues, how #infrastructure can be expanded and how #mineralresources such as iridium, silicon, aluminum, rare earths, iron or titanium can be mined, extracted and used on moon itself. #Liquidwater reserves will have to be examined biochemically and the possible use of this water as a fuel for spaceships. e.g. to #Mars. The #waterreserves are larger than expected: larger, deep liquid water layers have currently been #discovered (see previous posts). The authors M. Bizzarri et al. (2023) have dealt with #biomedical aspects of the Artemis mission in their research work. According to the authors, the main problems that can harm human health are exposure to higher levels of #cosmic #radiation and the need to operate #weightlessly. Efficient protection mechanisms against radiation must therefore be developed, as well as technologies for generating #artificialgravity. In order to be able to identify health risks in a timely manner, wearing a variety of medical #sensors is according to the authors of importance, because they will enable an efficient and necessary #telemedicalnetwork. © #StefanFWirth Berlin 2024 Sources: Artemis 2 program on NASA website: nasa.gov/mission/artemis-ii/ BBC report about statements of Stephen Hawking by P.

If 4.5B years was 1 year, today is Life’s Birthday! Happy Birthday Life! We can’t do without you in all your diversity & splendour! #LifesBirthday #HappyBirthdayLife #lifesupportsystems #wearelife

Here is the good news! Caring for Earth is caring for you. #reciprocity #locallyattuned #lifesupportsystems

“Planting trees is good, but it needs to be the right tree in the right place and for the right purpose, and those decisions can’t be made without local people.” Earth’s #lifesupportsystems are more complex & in urgent need of repair

Biodiversity is fundamental. Rewilding = restoration to promote self-regulating complex ecosystems through restoring non-human ecological factors and processes while reducing human control and pressures. #rewilding #biodiversity #lifesupportsystems

The connection between flooding & deforestation needs to be recognised…. And then (now) we need to #stoplogging & #restore our #lifesupportsystems sees.uq.edu.au/article/2021/… #floods #itsallconnected #BiodiversityEmergency #ClimateEmergency

The upcoming #MELiSSA conference will take place in November 2022, focusing on current and future ways to closed life support systems- melissaconference.org/. See our topic here devoted to articles from the conference! frontiersin.org/research-top… #space #lifesupportsystems

Our donors continue to be a driving force in our mission. Thanks to @TheTankDepot for their support in donating this massive 5,000 gallon tank! With this new edition to our #lifesupportsystems, we can continue to provide quality care to all our residents here at #SeaTurtleInc.
