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

I just fucked my nigga

Oof

I hope the permaculture experiments are legit and if so, we have more breathing room down here

but it would require trading using more land and labor for a hopefully increased yield. would take our agriculture labor ratio up to about 10-15%

```Rural suicides in the U.S. have climbed significantly in recent years, and farm leaders and mental health care providers say the financial toll of President Donald Trump’s trade war could contribute to the tragedy.

An official of the National Farmers Union warned earlier this year that financial stress, including the added burden of disappearing markets in the trade war, appear to be taking a toll on farmers’ mental health. ```

Well, seems your overpopulation is dealing with itself 😂

```“With these added tariffs, farmers are not getting their [credit] lines renewed, banks are coming in and foreclosing on their farms, taking their family living away, and it’s too much for some of them,” Minnesota soybean farmer Bill Gordon told CNN earlier this year. “We have seen a definite increase in the suicide rate and depression in farmers in the U.S.”

Wisconsin had a record 915 suicides in 2017, many of them farmers under financial stress. Net farm income has plunged 50% in six years.```
