  “This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
  		 
  From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
  		 
  Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
  		 
  For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.

  Cloud Computing - The Definitive...

  Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses and individuals interact with technology, offering vast opportunities for scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency. At its core, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet, encompassing everything from servers and storage to databases and software. The concept has evolved over time, transforming from traditional IT infrastructure to highly dynamic and scalable cloud platforms that allow users to access resources on-demand. 
  The evolution of cloud computing dates back to the 1960s, with the concept of time-sharing and the idea of providing remote computing resources. However, it wasn't until the early 2000s that cloud computing began to take its modern form, largely due to the widespread adoption of broadband internet and advancements in virtualization technologies. Early pioneers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud laid the foundation for today’s expansive cloud services. 
  Cloud computing is grounded in several key concepts and terminologies that are important to understand for anyone delving into this field. At its simplest, it allows users to access and store data over the internet rather than relying on local servers or personal devices. This shift has been made possible by virtualization, a technology that enables the creation of virtual instances of physical hardware, allowing multiple users to share resources efficiently. Another fundamental concept is elasticity, which refers to the ability to scale computing resources up or down based on demand, a key feature that sets cloud computing apart from traditional IT infrastructure.

  Mastitis - Causes Symptoms and...

  Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast tissue that often results from an infection. It is a condition that primarily affects women, especially those who are breastfeeding, although it can also occur in non-lactating women and, in rare cases, men. The inflammation associated with mastitis is typically caused by bacteria entering the breast tissue through a cracked or sore nipple, though other factors such as blocked milk ducts, hormonal changes, or injury to the breast can also contribute. Mastitis is not only physically painful but can also cause significant emotional distress, particularly for new mothers who may already be dealing with the challenges of breastfeeding and caring for an infant. 
  The importance of understanding mastitis lies in its ability to impact both the physical and emotional well-being of those affected. When left untreated, mastitis can lead to complications such as breast abscesses, which may require surgical intervention. Additionally, untreated or recurrent mastitis can cause long-term issues with breastfeeding, leading to early weaning or, in some cases, chronic breast pain. Early recognition and appropriate treatment are critical for preventing these complications and ensuring the best possible outcome for the individual. 
  While mastitis is most commonly associated with breastfeeding, it is essential to recognize that the condition can affect women and men in other contexts as well. For non-lactating women, mastitis can sometimes be linked to hormonal changes, particularly during pregnancy or menopause. Men, though rarely affected, can also experience mastitis, often as a result of an infection or other underlying health issue. Understanding the different causes, symptoms, and risk factors of mastitis can help individuals identify the condition early and seek appropriate medical care before it progresses into something more serious.

  The Jupiter Sun - The Greatest...

  This idea came to me from an earlier work of Science Fiction of mine - The Book To End All Books - by Michael Mathiesen.  In the story, the main character lands her first job out of college in helping in the Jupiter Project - which consists of igniting Jupiter into our second sun.  In doing the research for my story, to make it more realistic, I found that scientists had already used red lasers to create fusion reactions in the lab.  These were obviously small enough so that they didn't burn down the whole state of Nebraska.  They used just a few atoms of Hydrogen to test their theory.  And, it worked producing fusion energy for the first time, but now replicated many hundreds of times around the world. So, this means that by upscaling our nuclear fusion reaction and creating huge amounts of energy, all we have to do is put this same kind of laser cannons on the four largest moons of Jupiter and fire into the center of the mass of Jupiter because it's completely Hydrogen gas, Hydrogen plasma and even Hydrogen so dense it's called 'Metallic'.  This mimics the conditions of our sun over 6 billion years ago when it was also a huge gas ball and only needed a spark to ignite its main ingredient into the gigantic fusion reaction that gives all the energy that all life on planet Earth needs.  A 2nd Sun would solve all our energy problems I reasoned and the impacts would be all positive.In this book, we go over the details of how NASA and hopefully Spacex and Blue Origins can get together and create a mission to create a 2nd sun in the sky.  Imagine how other civilizations all around the universe who are able to look up into the sky around their planets with telescopes and instruments as powerful as ours and they notice a completely new star blazing into the night sky.  They might even be able to conclude that this star had to have been created by an intelligent life form, a life form that may have achieved something no other life form had ever done before.
