there are far too many ideologues who despise that the earth is not what they dream, when it cannot ever satiate any of them at once
and it will be the same on Alpha Centauri <:laff:387622602111320065>
sure
but it'd give us future opportunities to really improve, and if we waste our times being perfect, we'd only be keeping ourselves limited from attempting to do so 50 times over on a million other experiences
you'd learn more from 100 failures than 1 perfect success
the more failures, the more possibilities you can get
centrifugal forces for example can keep the effects of gravity down to an absolute minimum to really limit that warping of the human body that we experience in low gravity
not to mention, colonies on mars really won't be the defacto path we're destined to go on
there's a much more likely chance that we're going to form something like bishop rings or oneill cylenders orbiting the sun, since they're much cheaper to make, as well as quite possible to construct with existing technology
while simultaneously providing massive swathes of surface area that would be comparable to what we see today in the square mileage of nations
with these artifical structures, we could form literally any environment we could ever dream of, either to preserve life, or to create new life
it could be as hot or cold as you want, obviously with the stationwide agreement among peers
im just discussing the possibilities
for example, if earth became inhospitable, we could build literal nature preserves for animals that would be entirely self sustainable
@F-Star that's silly and omnicidal
really now, the plastics will remain until they're brittle and everywhere
they literally require human intervention
life as it is now beyond humanity would be completely different anyway by that point
why not just make the planet into a nature preserve
let the eagles peck the eyes out of animals on their own free will, etc
complex life so far appears to be completely unique to earth. Intelligent life probably even more so
to kill of humanity just to see if another would come about some time in the future is funny
>here's one, humanity dies and life resumes its course
might as well just be hiding away under a blanket in the middle of a house fire
to imply that we ought to die off since life would be better for it would be akin to giving up on your problems
to run away
to hide under a blanket in a house fire, lol
that'd probably be even more irresponsible
conveniently ignoring that I'd said that it was implied, not directly declared
if life isn't better without humanity, then what would be the point of saying "here's one, humanity dies and new life resumes course"
yes
then what would be the point of bringing it up?
you might as well be talking about the value of replicating robot chopsticks if it's irrelevant
sure
anyway...
