Manned space exploration gets set back by decades as overly cautious medical advisors try to figure out the cause of hair loss in astronauts.

Hair loss, eh.

Macular degeneration on the other hand :(

Every living creature, from the smallest protists to large elephants, grows lush facial hair. Creatures spend a large part of their days trying to trim it down only for it to grow again.

Since hair takes 1-2 years to decompose, discarded hair continues to build up. Some of it is burned, but that leads to other issues

Sounds like it could be a good carbon capture strategy. Just need to turn it into biochar so it lasts a couple thousand years instead of a couple years.

Please don't, I don't want facial hair

I don't make the rules, ma'am

Granted. Everyone on Earth now owns a Lovesense Lush which grows hair on its face.

Everyone's lush facial hair also grows 30x faster than normal
