There is a similar thread that goes up first business day of each month so there will be a new one in a few weeks, but the old one is probably still active. This will show the archive:
I guess you could try Microsoft's code hosting site (github.com) too, since they have some kind of scheme for devs announcing their availability. I don't use it so don't know the details though.
You couldn't do it with one slingshot, as several people have explained. But if the slingshot was big enough to launch a ship carrying someone with another slingshot, you'd do a little better. With the second ship carrying a third ship and so on, the slingshot round on the last ship might move fast enough. This is how multi-stage rockets work, by the way.
Just stay light, community has apparently functioned mostly ok without moderation, so just do minimum needed and don't create new bureaucracy. Thanks for stepping up.
nanoplastic — plastic particles 100 times smaller than the width of a human hair.
I hate this type of dumbed down description with the actual info removed. It's like when someone describes the capacity of a hard drive in terms of "libraries of congress" or "feet of stacked paper" instead of gigabytes or terabytes. We all use hard drives and know what a terabyte is, so give us the plain info.
Anyway, clicking the Nature link shows that nanoplastic means less than 1 micron diameter. That's much simpler than making us look up the diameter of a human hair to find out how big the plastic is.
