You shouldn't assume that you're outside the law just because you're in space. There is such a thing as space law, and virtually every major country in the world has signed up to it. The original signatories were the United States, the United Kingdom and Russia, back in 1967. As of right now, there are 107 sovereign states who have agreed to be bound by its rules.
Kept deliberately basic and designed to be a foundation set of rules which can be expanded upon by our space-faring descendants, it specifically bans the placing of weapons of mass destruction either in Earth orbit, on the Moon, or otherwise stationed in outer space. It also states that the Moon and other celestial bodies should only be used for peaceful purposes, and that that the testing of weapons on them is expressly prohibited. Going further, it states the intention that the exploration of space should be pursued peacefully and for the benefit of all States and all humankind - a noble sentiment if ever we heard one.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
