    This page seems to be reliable to me because the interviewees were very prestigious professors at multiple universities. Also, one of the interviewees was a futurist who devotes his time to predict the future and what it will be like based off of basic sciences. That is why this video seemed to be legit to me.

    "But nanotechnologists think they have an answer for treatment as well, and it comes in the form of targeted drug therapies. If scientists can load their cancer-detecting gold nanoparticles with anticancer drugs, they could attack the cancer exactly where it lives. Such a treatment means fewer side effects and less medication used. Nanoparticles also carry the potential for targeted and time-release drugs. A potent dose of drugs could be delivered to a specific area but engineered to release over a planned period to ensure maximum effectiveness and the patient's safety." Nanotechnology can be a better, more efficient way of getting rid of cancer cells.

    This seems like a great website to use. It backs up all of its statements with facts, so we know we can rely on it. I know this source will come in handy later because it actually explains how nanotechnology is used in some medical fields. I also know this is reliable because they list the sources that they used. This seems like a very official site to use.

    "Growing at the average rate of about 3% per year, however, one may calculate that our own civilization may attain Type I status in about 100-200 years, Type II status in a few thousand years, and Type III status in about 100,000 to a million years." Michio Kaku's website has some great articles that have to do with our topic. This article, in particular, has information on types of civilizations. I know that this is a reliable source because it is on Kaku's website.

    This website specifically describes the currently known ideas about how we could produce an Interstellar Spaceship. This website is reliable because of the fact that all of the information given in this website was taken from a conference held by DARPA or the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. This website gives the different ideas currently being thought of and furthermore, gives a brief explanation of each one. This website is wonderful to give someone the knowledge of what current ideas to produce a working Interstellar Spaceship are out there.

    "The distance any signal has to travel is astronomical - so it will be weakened by an astronomical amount squared. It has been said that SETI is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But if the instruments proposed by this group are built, SETI scientists will stop sifting the hay with spoons; they'll have a pitchfork." As this article focused primarily on the future of SETI, as one may have assumed from the title, it shall be very helpful while I am writing a draft on the theme. Since this article is in a well-known and respectable science magazine, I can conclude that "The Future of SETI" is a reliable source.

    This site is from MIT, it talks about their nuclear energy program and other people's ideas. It also talks about their nuclear fusion reactor. Their reactor is the same as the one in the book, this makes it a useful site to cross reference the information in the book. This site is reliable because it comes from MIT, a university known for its science and engineering programs.

    "Beyond listening for deliberate signals, SETI scientists could conceivably find extraterrestrial transmissions that weren't meant for us, just as our radio and television signals have been leaking into space this century." This pdf gave some very helpful information on SETI. I gained much knowledge about the background of this theme and will definitely be able to use what I have learned while writing my paragraph about this theme. To make sure that this was a reliable source, I did a bit of research on the author. Dr. Steven Garber is the founder of the Washington Institute and is the Scholar-in-Residence of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, leading me to believe that this pdf is a very dependable source.

    "A trip to the moon on gossamer strings? A "partial" space elevator that could carry satellites to geosynchronous orbit might be just the ticket." This source gives a great insight on how a space elevator would be created an operated. It has great information on much it may cost, how it would be used, and how it could even be possible. This is a reliable source, as National Geographic is a reliable company. I believe this resource could be very useful for our themes and research.

Be aware of the problems of organ printing and the future of artificial biology - 0 views

  • (NaturalNews) Organ printing, or the process of engineering tissue via 3D printing, possesses revolutionary potential for organ transplants. But do sociological consequences follow? Organ printing offers help to those in need of immediate organ transplants and other emergency situations, but it also pushes the medical establishment towards utilizing artificial biology as an immediate means of treatment over sound nutrition and preventative treatment. The hasty technological advancement towards organ printing is offering surgery-happy medical establishments even more ways to use invasive medical practices.
  • The creation process of artificial tissue is a complex and expensive process. In order to build 3D structures such as a kidney or lung, a printer is used to assemble cells into whichever shape is wanted. For this to happen, the printer creates a sheet of bio
  • paper which is cell-friendly. Afterwards, it prints out the living cell clusters onto the paper. After the clusters are placed close to one another, the cells naturally self-organize and morph into more complex tissue structures. The whole process is then repeated to add multiple layers with each layer separated by a thin piece of bio-paper. Eventually, the bio-paper dissolves and all of the layers become one.To get a further understanding of the methodology, it is important to understand the current challenges that go along with 'printing' artificial organs to be used in human bodies.As of now, scientists are only able to produce a maximum of about 2 inches of thickness. "When you print something very thick, the cells on the inside will die -- there's no nutrients getting in there -- so we need to print channels there and hope that they become blood vessels", explains Thomas Boland, an associate professor at Clemson University.

  • Blood vessels feed organs in the body, keeping them alive and working. Without blood vessels, the organ cannot function. This is the problem scientists are currently facing with organ printing.Using the patient's own cells as a catalyst, artificial organs may soon become mainstream practice among treatment centers worldwide. As the health of the nation delves down to record negatives, organ printing may be the establishment's answer to a number of preventable conditions.Organ printing is relatively new, and the idea of printing new organs sounds very much like science fiction. But it is on its way to becoming a reality. It is more than just a possibility that 50 years from now people will be walking around with a new lung printed in a lab.

    "Make your reservations now. The space tourism industry is officially open for business, and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space. " Space tourism is already happening, but for unrealistic prices. It is only for people who can pay a great sum of money.

    Ears, bones and other body parts have been spit out of 3D printers in the lab. Here's a look at what organs can be created with 3D printing and are ready for prime time.
  • Emma Aanestad on 05 Mar 14
     
    "Such a futuristic dream remains far from reality, but university labs and private companies have already taken the first careful steps by using 3D-printing technology to build tiny chunks of organs." This website provides information on how far we currently are in the process of construction new organs from 3D printers. It talks about what bodily materials have already been made by the printers and how they were made. For example the pieces of skin that have already been successfully used on patients. Then it tells you about who came up with this discovery and when. We can use this source as a reference on how far we have come with 3D printing. It is reliable because it is on an official science website and all of the information is cited throughout the article.

    "Energy is vital to our daily lives. It helps us produce food, fuel transport and power communication channels across the world. Over the coming decades, more people will gain access to energy and enjoy higher standards of living. But these developments could place greater pressure on our world's resources, such as energy, fresh water and food. At the same time, climate change remains a serious concern. At Shell, we use human ingenuity, innovation and technology to unlock the energy our customers need to power their lives in the years ahead, while aiming to limit our impact on the environment."
