It’s also kinda why I feel socialism will win out. The governments ability to make promises to citizens looking for hand outs. “Energy is a right” 2044

i think all the shit we are sending off into space is a bigger danger to depleting our resources than making stuff on earth. At least most stuff on earth stays on earth and you can get some of that material back once the items are no longer useful. doesn't work as well when you send shit off into space.

Not sure what fusion and electric cars have to do with my statement. Oil was an example of how our estimates can continue to be wrong. - a response to your 10 year comment on how long rare earth minerals may last.

G what you mean? We will be able to send resources to earth easy once we are in space.

to make things to send off farther into space

The belt past mars is like, a trillion billion earths worth of “stuff”

yes, and i imagine more power we can produce, the quicker we use stuff

still, once we have enough power to convert any matter into other matter, its not really a big concern

Now I’m begging you, watch Issiac lmao. He’s such a big picture dude and breaks down things realistically. Like why we need super materials and how we could make a ring world. Humans will look back at us with our WiFi, like we were full retards lol

then you can have like 100 recycle rate

The problem is, is the asteriod belt filled with the right "Stuff" needed for deep space explorations?

@Eric Black like how we look back out ourselves today?

Yeah

The “stuff” in the belt could make more stuff then we might ever need.

Like, life of sun ya know?

i'm waiting until we cannibalize the moon then go "oh.... so THATS what it did for our ecosystem"

We already know what the moon does for our ecosystem

Lmao, the moon does need to be used. We need the moons stuff to get to the belt. But the idea is we keep adding mass to the moon we remove.

i'm sure there is shit we do not know that it does

We could take a .25 mile deep crust from the moon and be fine (math)

hell, we don't even really understand our oceans

And that’s where the rare materials are, from astroids hitting it

funny how exploring space is apparently easier than exploring the bottom of hte ocean

Cmon G, oceans are harder for sure.

yeah, something about a lot of pressure down there or something?

lol

The amount of pressure from so much water on top of you.. opposite from space, it’s almost like the “perfect” game ya know?

If you were going to design a game where humans had to evolve through tech to reach another sun.. this seems like the perfect setup for it.

The rules are made so perfectly that everything is impossible until the layer below it is unlocked.

all the best tech is based off stuff life has already solved

I thought that too growing up

Like everyone had the world figured out, very not true

looking at the amount airplane designs have stolen from birds is fascinating

Nah m8 it's to send enough of us out into space so that the deep ones can emerge and retake the land

Most of the tech today is entering the quantum state, take moors law, how do we continue with it while preventing quantum tunneling.

I think our mission is to go to space, it’s calls to me personally. I told my wife I would leave her and the kids to go start a colony on mars. She said “bye” lol

How many millions of humans on earth would give up “earth” to go into space.. I say ALOT

How's the internet connection in space?

LAN parties are killer

ping is horrible tho
