Should be USA logic
Before the Ching Chongs get there
nah, the USA will land on mars, succeed in a return trip (after a few failed tries)
and then public will lose interest, just like the moon landings
because there's no profit in going to mars
also it says 'nuclear power will exist on the mars colony for the first 3 years or so"
why not permanent nuclear power? lol
wasn't there something about mining the moon for nuclear resources
i dunno
it seems like all other energy sources on mars are completely unfeasible besides nuclear power
Because it would require shipping fissile material and reactors from earth
and walking outside could probably only be done once per week or once per month, due to having to filter out all the dust
Whish wouldn't be cost or time effective at all
and having suits that are left ouside is dumb.... how do they maintain them?
the entire mars venture isn't time effective or cost effective lol
But yeah colonizing Venus seems more feasible
why venus??
Sun
oh solar power?
is that it?
i mean we can't really terraform venus either
but whatever
Honestly just build a ton of solar panels on some planet and Beam power back to earth
lol
i guess
not as efficient as oil tho maybe
or nuclear power
I wrote this comment in the kurgeCRINGE mars video
-----------------------------
2019: Debut some spaceship.
2020: Get more investors.
2021: Deliver more hot air.
2022: Get more investors.
2023: Sweep 10 more failed ventures under the rug, and bribe the media to 'forget' about it.
2024: Get more investors.
2025: Start a minor LEO space tourism venture.
2026: Get more investors.
2027-2035: Virtue signal more and more about Mars as investors dump in money.
2036: "Go to Mars" reality TV show is a flop. There's is a plan to go home, but some things go wrong, and the whole crew dies.
2060: Elon Musk refuses to retire, but is so senile that he can no longer give coherent speeches. This continues for a year or so until all investors have finally lost confidence. No one now mentions Elon Musk, except in the past tense.
2037 - 2088: A handful of more ventures occur, driven by entrepreneurs who were inspired by Elon and charismatic enough to attract continued investment. Mars mania is about to fade until some crews succeed in return trips, but no venture is taken beyond this. The thrill is lost by 2087 or so. This is just like the moon landing.
The Next 1000 Years: No one cares about Mars beyond tourism possibilities or science. Space stations orbit above mars, to send probes down to collect samples. The probes then blast off back to the space station above, to deliver the samples back to the lab. That sorta thing.
The moon however? There is a future on the moon, IMO; even a few permanent colonies. The distance makes it more economically feasible, and there was an argument for benefit to industry.
@What Would Jack Conte Do? I agree with the message mostly
However oil isn't actually that efficient
If you consider the war cost to keep the world status quo on America's part
And I agreed when should have some colonies on the moon, but the problem is that there isn't anything there
Water, minerals
mercury's also a good place for colonies, if we wanna get that dyson sphere built (and utterly destroy mercury as a result of massive strip mining to build the sphere, lol)
there's elements and metals on the moon or something
i was some essential element
can't remember which tho
