What is the southernmost US city within the Arctic Circle?
The only part of the US that's north of the Arctic Circle is the north 30% or 35% of Alaska.The outposts of civilization up there are really not what you'd call 'cities' ... there's nothingto compare to a New York, Chicago, Dallas, or Buffalo.Anchorage is the state capital, and the largest city in Alaska. (It's about 370 miles outsideof the Arctic Circle.) The population of Anchorage is 301 thousand, and that's more than40% of the entire state's population ! There's not much left to spread around the portionof the state that's north of the Circle.Here are the towns shown on my maps that are just over the line:Town . . . . . N. of Circle . . .

What makes up the inside portionof your bones?
a soft pulpy tissue that lies in the spaces between the trabeculae of all bones. The marrow is active in providing a continual supply of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets to meet the body's demand for oxygenation, immunity and coagulation. The bone marrow is composed of a variety of cells (blood cells in all stages of development, fat cells and reticulum cells), connective tissue and a mineralized osseous matrix. Bone marrow may be red (haematopoietically active) or yellow (fatty). The proportions of these two types vary at any given time, depending on the age and health of the person and on the specific bone or bone site being sampled. Although at birth red marrow is present throughout the skeleton, normally the marrow converts from haematopoietic to fatty marrow as the child grows older http://www.medcyclopaedia.com/library/topics/volume_iii_1/b/bone_marrow.aspx
Why we don't feel gravitational force?
We do feel gravitational force if that force is not nullified by another force. But for an equal supporting force, we will be moving toward the center of earth and in that case, we will feel the gravitational force.While lifting an object up , we feel the gravitational force.==============================Another thought:We don't feel anything that is constant and never-changing.We only feel things when they change.Another example is: Velocity, or speed and direction of motion.You can relax quite peacefully, and even nod off, in a passenger jetcruising at 500 miles per hour, 7 miles above the ground. You'rereminded of your situation only when the aircraft turns, speeds up,or slows down. (And not even so much in a bank and turn if they'rewell coordinated.)Another example: A modern, high-speed elevator (a lift).You feel little or nothing during the high-speed 'cruise' portionof the journey, but you become aware of the motion during theacceleration phases, at the beginning and end of a long transfer.
What is the next step to putting a human colony on Mars?
From where we are now (early 2012), the next step in that direction requires thatthe general public be made interested in space travel and exploration again, incontrast to today's complete public indifference.At the present time, there is no budget, funding, program, design activity, engineering,schedule, program, research, experimentation, or development of any kind underwaywith the purpose of working toward a manned mission to Mars, and a significant portionof the general public is convinced that NASA's budget is a complete waste of money,and that this country must stop "shooting all that money into space when there aremore important things to spend it on at home".Hundred$ of billion$ of dollar$ in defense (Pentagon) cut$ have just been annnouncedas I write this. I'm willling to go out on a limb and predict that there will be no groundswell,no outpouring of grass-roots demand, to increase the budget for space exploration by asimilar amount, any time soon.
