That we might be closer to finding Planet X. In my country there’s a space mission going on called Gaganyan where we will send astronauts to space and I’m excited for that.

I’m really excited about the advancements made to bring back extinct animals. I just think it’s really cool that we’re able to do that, and I always am so sad when I hear stories like the Tasmanian Tiger where we wipe out predators that are important to the ecosystem and it causes an imbalance. But we might be able to fix some of those stories, thanks to science! However, I think it’s important to not go too far with this, cuz animals go extinct naturally for a reason; that’s just how the world works. Like I have mixed opinions on bringing back the wooly mammoth. But I feel like in cases where humans are the direct cause of a species’ extinction, we kind of have a responsibility to fix that.
I’m also excited about CRISPR and the possibilities to fix genetic diseases with it. We could save/improve so many lives!

Doctors, scientists, national health organizations finally coming to the realization that puberty blockers, (except for precocious puberty), are unnecessary, dangerous, and have irreversible side effects. Leave the children alone. They’re not fúcking guinea pigs
