It's not proper vat-grown meat unless it's a bland, pale colour, spongy, sorta melts in your mouth and gives the impression of eating packing peanuts or styrofoam when it comes to taste value. Otherwise, you might start to like it and once that happens things start to go downhill very quickly.. D:<

Hey, in emergencies, sometimes you can even have the privates beat themselves. That can get messy, though.

Pah! Weak! Russian soldiers are expected to hit themselves in the face thirty times daily in basic training. Sixty on Mondays.

Hey, at least he didn't tell you that the most popular meat grown in the vats was long pork. >:D

I'm aware that because of a lack of friction in space, an object launched from a moving vessel will continue to travel until it hits something. However, to slow it down, would it be plausible for that something (missile, small spacecraft) to launch a magnet in front of it, and then activate an onboard magnet in the oppisite polarity in order to repel the something enough to reduce it's speed?
Wow. I just realised the extent of how strange that idea is. Stella made it sound so reasonable... o.o

Sounds simple and reasonable when you think about it, but if you actually look at the physics, it doesn't really work. Yes, if you toss a magnet out in front of you and try to "bounce" off that magnetic field, you'll impart force onto your ship and change your velocity. However, you'll also change the velocity of the magnet, both when you throw it out in front (Since it will just keep on merrily coasting ahead of you at the same distance unless your ship accelerates to catch up to it) as well as when you bump into the magnetic field.
The problem is mainly one of mass. If the magnet you threw out is many times smaller than your ship, then all that will happen is that the rebound well end up firing that small magnet off like a bullet.
In order for the magnet to actually absorb the momentum from your ship (and thus slow you down), either the magnet has to be at least the same mass as your ship (or larger), or else it needs to be anchored to something that is.
Anything else?
