we are a civilization that still has not decided on a universal manner in which to tell one another how hot it is outside. no loving way we're organizing any sort of movement of people any further than Mars in the next century (and I'd be really surprised if we got that far)

mars is a colossal waste of effort and money and i'll be amazed if we ever get that far just because people will keep talking about it because it sounds fun and then peace out when they get the invoice

i mean sure maybe you can put a scientific team on there to figure out some of the interesting biology and geology questions but a permanent and major human settlement is retarded for a huge number of reasons.

that was earlier versions of the microwave engine. i do not remember the specifics on the ones in the papers that saw publication in Q4 last year but iirc they were much more efficient. that said, i honestly haven't looked at too much of this stuff that closely because the real extra-terran solution is exactly what i said above: void habitats. even in the 300 page cheerlead for mars colonization that mary roach wrote called packing for mars, she takes on the question in the final few pages of why we would even want to go to mars

her best answer was "i dunno, let's play"

what they don't tell you is that going into warp feels exactly like cumming

It's sadly behind a paywall now, but if anyone wants to spend a dollar on a day's subscription, there's an amazing Centerville Herald local interest piece with the memorable title 'Hitlers Were County Pioneers', which if I remember right tells us that Gay Ludwig's dad George W. was in fact George Washington Hitler.

I work on the bottom floor of my office and we have a mens and womens room, only its a single room with 1 toilet in each. There are 6 men that work on my floor and 0 women (they all come from upstairs to use the private bathroom) so when the mens room was locked, the guys who worked down here would use the womens. Well I guess someone complained and one day I came in to see a big sign on it that said WOMEN ONLY and an email from HR to reinforce that.

that's probably not OSHA compliant fyi

yeah probably and even then when you compare it to just making a stanford torus where you can simulate 1G, have all your own foodstuffs and so forth straight from the start, and way easier access to the spine-shatteringly huge mineral wealth contained in asteroids and other dead, rocky bodies any planetary colony just seems like an immensely stupid idea

like for real there's one near earth asteroid that has been positively identified to have more deposits of iron and copper than have been pulled out of the earth's crust in our entire history - and that NEO ALSO has deposits of silicon, silver, etc. just loving eat that thing whole, send 25% of everything down to earth to stop all mining so no more earthquakes are caused and no more water tables are irreparably fouled, and use the other 75% to build a void hab that is actually kind of nice to live in so you're chill to go find another asteroid and do the whole thing again

charlotte is actually in the lucky position that north carolina annexation laws make it relatively easy (compared to older northern cities) for it to expand its city limits, so they go pretty far out. of course the nearby state line with SC is a constraint it can't get past

:yeah:

The asteroids are the only thing that could draw enough interest of a company that wants a monopoly on, like, all the rare earth metals. Venus and Mars would come much later as science outposts, if at all.

Is this right?

quote:

Democrats have a different challenge. The party’s increasingly dominant progressive wing could be a liability in these moderate districts. Only two of the 24 most competitive districts went for Bernie Sanders in a primary contest. Many broke for Mrs. Clinton by landslide margins.

i'm sorry, mr reporter man, but i have it on good authority that all centrists must be purged from the party and that if centrists are even considered democrats in the future the democratic party will dissolve

these 24 house districts will, obviously, be won only by full socialism now candidates and not the dirty disgusting centrists that need to be purged
