• Androgenesis (all-paternal reproduction) has been achieved in sturgeons by genetically inactivating eggs, inducing polyspermy, and fusing two sperm nuclei to restore diploidy, yielding viable offspring and nucleocytoplasmic hybrids with paternal nuclear DNA and maternal mitochondria.  
• The same technique could theoretically allow human parthenogenesis using only sperm if donor oocytes are genetically inactivated, though current human IVF dispermy rates (~5 %) still include an intact maternal genome.  
• Discussion of asteroid mining centered on 16 Psyche: metallic asteroids are mostly stainless-steel-grade iron-nickel-cobalt alloys with ppm-level platinum-group metals, making them valuable for in-space industry rather than Earth return.  
• Space-based refining and propellant production were proposed, with suggestions to use Starships as cislunar catapults to fling mining payloads toward the outer solar system, conserving vehicle reuse.  
• Cryonics critique: aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation preserves brain ultrastructure at a high evidence standard, but no human protocol yet exists and biological reanimation remains unproven; memory preservation via nanotech or upload is speculative.  
• Aging-intervention debate: germline modifications to delay damage accumulation were contrasted with late-life therapies; neuron-replacement strategies that sacrifice unused memories for cortical rejuvenation were mentioned.  
• Fusion-energy tangent: proton-boron-11 aneutronic fusion and lithium/boron low-mass fission (often mislabeled “fusion”) were discussed as compact, high-energy-density space power sources.  
• Catalase enzyme (PDB 1DGB) featured as an antioxidant example, with playful enzyme-persona banter illustrating structural-biology enthusiasm in the community.
