Cancer

Nothing special--they just float around with the rest of the body in which they are contained.

It doesn't kill em. They are resistant to the adverse effects of microgravity, cw normal cells which will die more quickly than in normal gravity.

Maybe we should send our tumors to mars!

i strongly believe that cancer propagation can be exponentially controlled at certain limits

I weakly speculate that mad scientists will create intelligent tumors, and equip them to do space exploration for us and bring home the data.

The phrase "exponentially controlled at certain limits" is drivel.

Aha...drivel! Exactly the word. Thanks, Encyclopedia Crankshaft.

Lets see...expressing a firm belief in drivel... use of a mathematical term to embellish a phrase for which there is no associated data.... reads like a politician or salesman, not a budding engineer. Your tutelage of the young man is commendable.

hey all can cancer be simulated with chicken pox??? how will cancer cells react??

Please, get a grip on yourself. Your question is nonsense and simply shows you haven't a clue. Go take a basic biology course.

Derik, this is exactly the type of question that gives purpose to the International Space Station.

If you are passionate enough about the quest, investigate the inclusion of such an experiment aboard the ISS.

I have a suspicion that this has already been investigated and discarded as a viable cancer treatment, but medical school (particularly oncology) will provide information that can be relied upon.

Well done artsmith. I will vote you one closer to your #100 GA.

Out young friend Derik has some reading to do.

Yes, lots of reading indeed.

And Derik, I apologize for my gruff responses yesterday - which I'm going to blame on getting two hours sleep and a night best described as torture. I'm usually more patient and less mean or rude _{I think}.

People like you, with lots of ideas and excitement, and with real determination to find a cure for cancer, will surely be welcome in the research community. So study hard and find your feet and words, and don't lose your enthusiasm.

You're going to meet some grumpy folks in academia, be sure of it. But most grumpiness that a person receives, afaik, is not about you but something else completely that you're not to know about. Stay strong inside, keep smiling and learning, and one day you'll get to that worthy goal.

artsmith am used to such because am an engineering scholar who is always involved in academic arguments with his peers,,but however,i have little biology knowledge and i realy believe biologists with enthusiasm like mine are those that can make a difference in this world...And not those who just think straight rather than out of the Box in a box.

derik, make room in your schedule for a biology course, because I can see you are really interested. You need some basic knowledge to start with, and then your ideas will really blossom. Good luck!
