I was reading a perspective a month ago in Science, "Sex differences in immune responses". The precise age mentioned in these paragraphs struck me: ...

T cell immunity gets really bad with aging. The thymus turns to fat.

May be too much hazard associated with that; unexpended propellants and such.

It may be a tangent, but frailty reminds me of bones for which I devised a ex vitro test in my final year. I was testing the Tibia. We were supplied...

Never?

The 5th test of the high-thrust oxyhydrogen engine designed for the Long March-5 was carried out for 520 seconds. ...

I think it's largely a safety/handling issue. TEA-TEB is toxic, its smoke is hazardous, and it ignites spontaneously on contact with air, water, or...
