/sci/ - Science & Math

/sci/, more or less, what is the consensus on human heritage? Who were the Neanderthal? I checked wikipedia and all, but I wanted to hear it from you, because you might know something new or give an insight to it.

What really happened? How old are we?

alright sci, say i want to get into a top 10 applied math grad program on a full scholarship, what will it take?

I am undergrad at a top 50 right now.

Why do cold drinks taste better?

The Moon was a metaphor for the unattainable: "You might as well ask for the Moon," they used to say. Or "You can no more do that than fly to the Moon."
The Moon is no longer unattainable. A dozen humans, all Americans, have made those odd bounding motions they called "moonwalks" on the crunchy, cratered, ancient gray lava--beginning on that July day in 1969. But since 1972, no one from any nation has ventured back. Indeed, none of us has gone anywhere since the glory days of Apollo except into low Earth orbit-- like a toddler who takes a few tentative steps outward and then, breathless, retreats to the safety of his mother's skirts.
Once upon a time, we soared into the Solar System. For a few years. Then we hurried back. Why? What happened? What was Apollo really about?
