Succulents are fascinating plants. They have the reputation of being resilient and easy to grow and maintain. But that isn’t always what everyone experiences when they first get one.

Like 75% of American women, Ronnie Citron-Fink dyed her hair, visiting the salon every few weeks to hide gray roots in her signature dark brown mane. She wanted to look attractive, professional, and most of all, young. Yet as a journalist covering health and the environment, she knew something wasn’t right.

Were her recurring headaches and allergies telltale signs that the dye offered the illusion of health, all the while undermining it? Ronnie took a leap and decided to ditch the dye.

There are many things regarding the science of this world that are as yet undiscovered. Perhaps, the most important is the mystery that is gravity and its relationship to living beings. To date, we do not know the full origin of gravity, how we organize within gravity, and how we interact with it on a mature and immature level. These unknowns are the primary cause for concern when discussing the future reality that is space travel and interplanetary colonization.
