      Possible he’d have needed materials for his ship. Plus barfights are sorta the norm for him.

    We’re really behind schedule if we’re supposed to have FTL by now. We haven’t even started eugenics projects…

      59 more years. We still got a 3rd world war to get through.

      Dont worry, some years ago there was a mid-sized scandal where the chinese allegedly experimented with gene editing embryos to make them smarter. We never hear about those things any more, that must mean they surely gave up on the idea, right? Right?

        I wonder if that’s how they’re suddenly innovating instead of just stealing everyone else’s IP. They must have super babies in the design department!

        Actually there was an article just a few days ago that said the doctor who was working on it was proud of his work and planned to continue.

          See, we are right on schedule then. Though i think we have to do ww3 first, then the eugenics wars after.

    That’s the genius of the Cochrane genes … they live long enough to make offspring but not enough to have a long life

      No, it was a gag, in honor of First Contact Day. However, they are both are kind of a hot mess in their own way, so it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to me.
