But those are just metal containers basically

2018-11-19 21:34:20 UTC  

Right

2018-11-19 21:34:23 UTC  

So

2018-11-19 21:34:27 UTC  

if we can harness solar radiation though

2018-11-19 21:34:57 UTC  

Why can't we jam the cisterns with batteries @Beemann

2018-11-19 21:35:02 UTC  

Really

2018-11-19 21:35:21 UTC  

Just containers really

2018-11-19 21:36:06 UTC  

Why don't we just make a really big water wheel and place it next to the earth so that the earth's rotation powers it

2018-11-19 21:36:13 UTC  

Woke

2018-11-19 21:36:56 UTC  

solar sails? they've actually discussed that I think, but for replicating gravity on space stations

2018-11-19 21:37:15 UTC  

Bring back Project Orion tbh fam

2018-11-19 21:37:27 UTC  

I want several nuclear explosions to fling me to Mars

2018-11-19 21:38:39 UTC  

Orion

2018-11-19 21:38:44 UTC  

Sounds familiar

2018-11-19 21:39:03 UTC  

Nuclear propulsion for spacecraft

2018-11-19 21:39:09 UTC  

Ohh

2018-11-19 21:39:12 UTC  

That one

2018-11-19 21:40:20 UTC  

Yeah, nuclear pulse propulsion is the only way human interplanetary space travel will ever happen.

2018-11-19 21:41:03 UTC  

alcubierre can be a thing

2018-11-19 21:41:05 UTC  

I hope

2018-11-19 21:41:40 UTC  

Where you going to find a negative Jupiter-mass?

2018-11-19 21:42:00 UTC  

In the couch cushions

2018-11-19 21:42:06 UTC

2018-11-19 21:42:16 UTC  

All sorts of good stuff there

2018-11-19 21:43:26 UTC  

if we don't invent ftl tho we will go extinct fast

2018-11-19 21:44:00 UTC  

why?

2018-11-19 21:44:12 UTC  

Resources are finite

2018-11-19 21:44:23 UTC  

ftl is not possible.

2018-11-19 21:44:42 UTC  

With fusion power you will never run out of anything.

2018-11-19 21:45:28 UTC  

There is enough resources in our system to support trillions of people for millions of years.

2018-11-19 21:48:09 UTC  

No we wonts

2018-11-19 21:48:23 UTC  

Bacteria wil surviv

2018-11-19 21:48:27 UTC  

If we dismantle Mercury we can build enough habitat for trillions of ppl and use our stars energy for billions of years if we manage our star.

2018-11-19 21:49:14 UTC  

You guys worrying about traveling to other planets are small time.
What we need to do is make our *planet* travel.

2018-11-19 21:49:27 UTC  

Wokest

2018-11-19 21:49:42 UTC  

But we will freeze to death @Schedrevka

2018-11-19 21:49:44 UTC  

So no

2018-11-19 21:49:56 UTC  

We will need to move the entire system

2018-11-19 21:50:01 UTC  

With fusion energy we will be able to afford the fusion of heavy elements. We harvest our star of it Hydrogen and turn that in to Carbon and Oxygen.

2018-11-19 21:50:13 UTC  

Easy, just make a trailer hitch for the sun
