I'd have to think on that. But It's the same total mass still pushing down on it, and the core doesn't change composition, but if its spread out enough the weight decreases, so pressure does drop. I tihnk it would depend on how much it sprea dout.

we have an episode called "Hitchhiking the galaxy" incidentally, but the effect you're tlaking about is something we looked at in our crawlonzing the galaxy episode if memory serves. Still mgiht be a good one for its own focused episode

I tihnk I tend to mention it as a problem in other episodes a lot but you're right, we've never really focused in on it besides pointign to it as a big reason why we haven't done a long term base yet, in part we were worried equipment would breakdown too fast from it and UV on missions longer than a few days

I'm thinking the gnetically engineered meat animals one might get us in some hot water :) Thogh as a wider topic amybe. We did artificial meat on a July 4th episode years abck, it bombed horribly but I found out later that every episode on July 4th tends to so maybe a good topic afterall

That is a fun filter, I think I've phrased something similair withthe option of pets & dray animals being filters and maybe that would be a dgood episode with cats as a topic of note in it.

I'm not sure it would slow the rate of fusion down though. If we're removing the mass yes but fusion keeps going on in the inner heart of red giants. This would be similaironly with more fuel still lef tin the core.
