so far no martians

then in that case using craft like we have now to transport materials into orbit would be better

Tbh we don’t know what other living things are out there

Although *cough cough* let's hope we don't destroy each other first

and from there building larger vessels that can travel less hindered by earth's gravity (if that's how it works, idr)

We already doing that with 5G

Which can break our cell bonds

Also apparently there's an Ohio entomologist that's claiming that complex life has already been found on mars.

I'm skeptical, to say the least.

Duh tf

Billions of galaxies out here

Yeah herd about that

There’s definitely not just us

But also *really fucking interested* in knowing more behind that

Yeah

Earth gravity is one problem but once you escape you still have to spend the amount of gas needed to accelerate to cover half the distance, then spend the same amount slowing down

you don't get free deceleration like 'on earth'

Yep

yeah so something like gas stations across the solar system would be needed

or another form of propulsion

Oi mate fill me up eh?

But on Mars

<:laugh:583238348077006869>

every mile you drive to work today decreases the chances humans colonize space

Yikz

we may have to lower the population dramatically to ensure we can get off planet to colonize space and grow an interstellar population

humanity is a plague

so just through china into spacE

we have no right to colonize space while the degenerates still walk the earth

they can spacewalk and repair the ships

But we need to at least start asteroid mining

na, more like we need to divert some asteroids to earth

<:YEET:583247407186182144>

we may reach peak human population within our lifetimes

Yep

and it will only ever be smaller

afterward

if we keep it up, we will turn this world sterile to where it can't support much life

Yeah

and really, colonization isn't a good option because we need biomass

to setup any significant population anywhere else
