Orion

Sounds familiar

Nuclear propulsion for spacecraft

Ohh

That one

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

alcubierre can be a thing

I hope

Where you going to find a negative Jupiter-mass?

In the couch cushions

^

All sorts of good stuff there

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

why?

Resources are finite

ftl is not possible.

With fusion power you will never run out of anything.

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

No we wonts

Bacteria wil surviv

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.

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

Wokest

But we will freeze to death @Schedrevka

So no

We will need to move the entire system

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.

Easy, just make a trailer hitch for the sun

And tie it with cables

Does Acosta still have its Press Pass??

And shouldn't there be a press conference today??

You're talking about a Shkadov thruster. A big ball around the sun with a small hole it to let out the light. You could move an entire galaxy this way if you wanted.

I think Accosta was given his pass back by court order, and now there is going to be rules put in place for how the press is allowed to behave within the white house. Beforehand it was just a matter of everyone being respectful by choice, but he fucked up so now everyone is going to have to follow the rules

Rule 1: no dabbing in the White House

We need to build a space elevator

Rule 2: constant flossing in the White House

we make the planets come to us

We attach a small generator to every soul Lord Xenu has trapped on Earth

XENU

I think the space elevator is a meme according to materials science.

it's such a bad idea
