The Management posted:mars permanent habitation is pointless and a terrible idea. there is almost no value to being on mars. there’s no current path to a self-sustaining colony, which means relying on supplies from earth for the foreseeable future. Its easier for me to imagine that human's invent strong AI or the ability to put brains in robot bodies etc etc than it is imaging we figure out the billion different things we have to do to make space habitable. I think if we did encounter any sort of alien life in space, it would be robots created by those aliens.

not to mention the need to figure out a high specific impulse high thrust engine that you can fill up on propellant for without needing to spend three times as much propellant to get it to you. chemical rockets have a shitload of thrust and alright Isp but there's no cryogenic methane station on mars that you can stick into the side of your Starship (tm) nuclear thermal rockets are a bit better about it because you can shove any liquid into them as propellant and it'll work, but lighter molecules mean more propellant density and thus higher Isp, but their thrust is comparatively low so if you want to get anywhere fast you need more propellant to have a higher delta-V, which means you're gonna need more propellant for the return trip, so you better get that hydrogen cracking plant functional within a week of arrival elon musk is too stupid to think through even the dozens of extremely basic rocketry problems involved in long-distance manned space exploration, let alone the hundreds of other human factors, which is why NASA's eggs are in the "space station orbiting the moon for resupply and refueling" basket instead of the "future home of the martian congressional republic" basket

Unless that bootstrap process includes booting up the core to produce a decent magnetic field, it is all pointless anyway. It will just be some cold, and nearly airless, desert. Send those robots to go hollow out an asteroid, and go live in that. Hook a truster of some sort to it and travel the solar system.

EricBauman posted:it's because mars doesn't have people of color i am absolutely sure that countries like char or south sudan would welcome investment projects to help them deal with catastrophic effects of climate change or develop infrastructure to put people's quality of life to the next level but these kinds of initiatives must be 100% altruistic and therefore impossible to fund, since there is no way of immediately extracting profits. even worse, rising quality of life would make it harder to extract resources from these countries anyway, the fsd rollout already shows clearly what the attitude of the "terraformers" would have to the local population that they run their experiments on. which boils down to: you poors should consider yourselves lucky that you can help humanity progress by dying in elon's grand social experiment

at least this time when we drop someone on the moon and they have to figure out what to say in front of a live audience of the entire goddamn planet, instead of being a slow-scan TV camera with an effective spatial resolution of "I think that's a person" being radioed back to earth and retransmitted by literally pointing a live TV camera at a monitor, it'll basically just be a radiation-hardened smartphone running OBS

actually, what books are that in the blue case behind the lamp and water bottle? or is it one book with a red white and blue pattern? the text in the red line seems to say 'pillars of civility' but i can't make out the rest. could it be this? https://www.amazon.com/Pillars-Civility-compassion-encouragement-responsibility/dp/1777871107 posted:During times of stress, confusion, and resistance, this collection of short essays provides the reader with an opportunity for self-reflection. When we live in a state of fear, rational thinking is impossible. When we take some time for ourselves, we can reach a state of calmness, which allows clearer thinking and healing to occur. As we discover which areas of our lives are out of balance, we can begin to regain that balance through the simple self-reflective exercises following each chapter. We need to commit to this process regularly to live a more balanced life in a chaotic world. The common-sense messages contained within each essay reflect my personal experiences and can serve as reminders that we are not alone, that our feelings are both valid and essential, and that there is a path to a life filled with joy and grace. yeah, he needs some balancing and self-reflection alright

I am 100% certain that revolver is a prop, that cylinder looks like it's made of prop foam and there are injection molding seams all over it and he's too loving stupid to figure out how to operate that flintlock behind it e: upon closer inspection the revolver doesn't even have a trigger. in all aspects of life he's such an utter loving poser
