I've watched a show recently on National Geographic Channel. It was about elephant rage. It was interesting. Is elephant rage normal among male bull elephants?, Or Is it a rather new phenomenon?
Answer
According to this story, the behavior has caused increased concern and monitoring began early in the 1990's.
From: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/08/magazine/08elephant.html?ex=1317960000&en=555595cd86596c93&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss
" All across Africa, India and parts of Southeast Asia, from within and around whatever patches and corridors of their natural habitat remain, elephants have been striking out, destroying villages and crops, attacking and killing human beings. In fact, these attacks have become so commonplace that a new statistical category, known as Human-Elephant Conflict, or H.E.C., was created by elephant researchers in the mid-1990âs to monitor the problem. In the Indian state of Jharkhand near the western border of Bangladesh, 300 people were killed by elephants between 2000 and 2004. In the past 12 years, elephants have killed 605 people in Assam, a state in northeastern India, 239 of them since 2001; 265 elephants have died in that same period, the majority of them as a result of retaliation by angry villagers, who have used everything from poison-tipped arrows to laced food to exact their revenge. In Africa, reports of human-elephant conflicts appear almost daily, from Zambia to Tanzania, from Uganda to Sierra Leone, where 300 villagers evacuated their homes last year because of unprovoked elephant attacks.
Still, it is not only the increasing number of these incidents that is causing alarm but also the singular perversity â for want of a less anthropocentric term â of recent elephant aggression. Since the early 1990âs, for example, young male elephants in Pilanesberg National Park and the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve in South Africa have been raping and killing rhinoceroses; this abnormal behavior, according to a 2001 study in the journal Pachyderm, has been reported in ââa number of reservesââ in the region...."

What are some pros and cons of having a successful space or rocket program?
greendayro
I'm doing a GT essay and it has to explain some pros and cons of having a successful space or rocket program. If you can include what exactly is included in having a successful program
Answer
First a stable economy able to give sustained stable support for the programs, the needed industries and scientific endeavors
Perceived strategic, economic or political benefits.
Electronics for instrumentation, guidance, and controls.
Metallurgy and materials for fuel and pressure tanks, propellants,
Medical advances to sustain persons entering the space efforts.
Education system that develops the needed technologists.
Current counties with these conditions are USA, Canada, Europe, Russia, China, India, Brazil, North Korea, Iran, Israel, Japan, Australia, Indonesia.
Exploration sustained the Spanish monarchy and created the exploration that occurred over the next hundred years creating our current world.

From those first tentative steps to the 1969 moon landing to today's reusable space shuttle, the American space program has brought forth a breathtaking display of applied science. Communications satellites transmit computer data, telephone calls, and radio and television broadcasts. Weather satellites furnish the data necessary to provide early warnings of severe storms. Space technology has generated thousands of products for everyday use--everything from lightweight materials used in running shoes to respiratory monitors used in hospitals. Since 1961, more than 400 human beings have ventured into space. Now aboard the International Space Station, astronauts are working to improve life on Earth and extend life beyond our home planet.

Where will humanity be 500 years from now without space exploration? We already are having resource wars as a zero sum game. Space resources will break that bondage allowing an open ended game. Finite death in a global warming fog of starving people, or infinite futures of plenty cruising between the planets. We still have a choice, but not for long since our stable world economy is teetering.
So,
Pros: we live lives of plenty amongst the stars
Cons: we condem our children to a mudball eating garbage.
