Here Are The Most Shocking Proposals From Ocasio-Cortez' "Green New Deal" http://news.valubit.org/here-are-the-most-shocking-proposals-from-ocasio-cortez-green-new-deal/
🤦
This is why we fight

@Lucifer Inlustris What you know about this one.
, and thats a GREAT thing! https://twitter.com/RandPaul/status/1093613635245613057?s=19
@stedly its very possible, although its unconfirmed and we can't know for sure but its still possible. Gravity wells can be used for slingshot propulsion.
It's how most of the voyager probes made it out so far in such a short time is a combination of gravity slingshots and ion propulsion
some people call it "Star Hopping" when it involves the gravity well of a star
stephen hawking even once said a cigar shaped craft would be ideal for interstellar travel
Astronomy is/was one of my strongsuits in highschool and college
one hypothesis i have came to mind to that mysterious asteroid
what if it was hollowed out and converted into some form of space station?
for long term generational space travel, such a task would be ideal, because you could in theory build more underground annexes as the population gets larger on such a journey. you would also be able to extract resources from the asteroid as you built more installations, slowly but surely converting it into one large spaceship.
since we have not detected any form of ftl disturbances around the asteroid, if it is an interstellar spaceship of sorts it most likely is a primitive one.
also such ships may have stasis chambers
meaning even if we tried to send a signal to the object we are not guaranteed a response at all. that is if it is a primitive starship
it may happen to us one day, where we send primitive space arcs out into the vastness of space and settle some far off planet and by the time we do the guys back home would have already colonized most of local interstellar space using ftl technology or we might drive ourselves to extinction due to war. Whichever comes first, at least the human race would continue in some form or another.
it would be cool if oumuamua is remnant of a long lost alien civilization, but again we dont know for sure.
just another mystery that may never be solved
also hollowing out an asteroid eliminates the problem of trying to build a large ship in orbit and shipping all the resources and supplies needed. an asteroid can contain metals for building material, organic molecules for soil production to grow food, water in the form of ice that can be extracted and stored on board and etc.
maybe even cilicates for computer chips
oxygen can be extracted from the asteroid for air to breathe as well
asteroids also contain alot of nickel, nickel 63 can be used in radioisotope generators to run essential systems long term without intervention by workers
nickel 63 atomic batteries can run for 100 years unattended before needing to be replaced
coupling that with plutonium or uranium generators could be enough to power a sublight spaceship during long term stasis hibernation
most space probes use plutonium batteries to operate their systems
🤔 \
such a craft would have to have some sort of modifications on it to prevent it from say crashing into a star or a gas giant on it's journey to a new planet to colonize
also most signals it would pick up from lower tech planets could most likely consider as garbage and just ignore them anyway
