Dead Brain Cells the name Dead Brain Cells among three suggestions by Leone, the others being "The Mental Pukes" and "The Retarded Assholes". Lowe had made commitments to his job and could not sing with the band anymore. Dakin decided he would sing and play bass at the same time. The band released two albums and toured twice in the United States. Their first album, "Dead Brain Cells", was released in 1987. It was followed by a concept album, "Universe", in 1989. Their song, "The Genesis Explosion", was featured in a Canadian television commercial for Microcell Telecommunications in 2005. The commercial depicts an
Electrically powered spacecraft propulsion Electrically powered spacecraft propulsion An electrically-powered spacecraft propulsion system uses electrical energy to change the velocity of a spacecraft. Most of these kinds of spacecraft propulsion systems work by electrically expelling propellant (reaction mass) at high speed, but electrodynamic tethers work by interacting with a planet's magnetic field. Electric thrusters typically use much less propellant than chemical rockets because they have a higher exhaust speed (operate at a higher specific impulse) than chemical rockets. Due to limited electric power the thrust is much weaker compared to chemical rockets, but electric propulsion can provide a small thrust for a long time.
