We need not be concerned about global warming. We have akll the space we need. It's above our athmosphere. Come on, we should help the corporations because they can fun space research! GIVE SPACE A CHANCE!
Think of all the planets that are waiting to be colonised and robbed of thier resources, I agree, help the corporations to fund space travel and we can leave this poor dying husk of a planet behind forever.
Think, we could all be part of a team of terraforming engineers! We could be on the front lines of the colonisation!
Well, it's only speculation; that's why we need corporate genetic testing- WE NEED TO FIND THE TRUTH.
space and the exploration of it is good. people tend to forget we're already in it though... 'tis rather ironic that NASA is pumping loads of cash into finding out how to build a spaceship module that can sustain itself on a long voyage. ....move the scale up a bit...... hang on... WE'RE ON A SPACESHIP NOW!! Flying round a fusion ball in the depths of space. How long is OUR voyage?? Are we SUSTAINABLE?? ~
As long as we got only one planet, we're never going to be 'sustainable'. We may be able to stop messing it up ourselves, and we may be able to stop some natural disasters (like asteroids -they wouldn't be too hard to stop, we already have space travel and the earlier we spot them, the less we'd have to nudge them to push them away from a collision course). But there are other dangers, like the super volcanoes, that I don't think we can 'stop'. Far trickier to do a 'controlled release' of the pressure building up beneath Yellowstone than to push an asteroid off course in space, where there's a lot of room for error (any direction you push it in is pretty much okay). So even if we'd stop all the damage we, as humans, are doing to our planet, it's still likely at one time or other we're gonna get blown up... No I'm not one of those pessimists who's expecting it to happen at any time, I don't know when it'll happen... but eventually it will, dozens, hundreds, thousands of years from now I don't know. Eventually the only way we can survive is to spread out.
i think we need to try to save earth as well as look into terraforming other planets, cause it may be thousands of years before we get the technology and money to terraform.
We'll be able to terraform worlds and build artificial worlds by the end of this century. But I agree that there's no reason to abandon the planet we have.
You're quite the techno-optimist, Kandahar! I can't imagine why anyone would want to live in an artifical world on another planet or the moon, even if it were ever possible. However, I hope you're right about nuclear fusion becoming feasible in our lifetime, though I remain very skeptical.
Did he say anoything about nuclear fusion? I once tried to create it, but my experiment failed. Then, I donated myself for corporate testing.
Colonizing planets is going to cost alot of money that so far no one is willing to commit to 'cause they're putting the majority of funds into warfare. Warfare that is largely a result of unsustainable living practices that causes competition for limited resources. Until humans can learn to live sustainably on this planet, it'll be a long, long time before we get the resources and funding together to terraform other planets. Longer than a century anyways. A large factor of space travel is recycling and using resources wisely, they even recycle piss back into drinking water.
Since we were created from stardust eons ago it is our destiny to return to the place of our birth. As sure as Columbus and Hudson sailed the worlds oceans in great ships seeking new worlds and great wealth. Men,women and some of earths animals will one day travel unimaginable distances in great ships seeking the same. In three hundred years,I predict, we will be traveling at greater than light speeds where time as a diminision will no loner exist. This will give the human race the ability to travel millions of miles in a brief moment and streatch our horizions beyond imagination.
We've fucked up this planet so much already, I don't think we should go live on other planets. We'd just fuck them up too.
