      One of the biggest reasons living on Mars seems so impossible is the inexistence of water. With this new discovery, it could not just be possible, but probable, that solving the other issue of breathing could mean we could live on Mars.
  • suggests that water has played a more extensive role than previously envisioned, and that environments capable of sustaining life could exist, according to new research from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

What we can learn from procrastination : The New Yorker - 0 views

  • The philosopher Mark Kingwell puts it in existential terms: “Procrastination most often arises from a sense that there is too much to do, and hence no single aspect of the to-do worth doing
