how would extracting resources in space save the earth exactly you're either going to use them somewhere else in space - doesn't help earth much or you're going to bring them back to earth and use them here - creating by-products and pollutants we're also not going to stop extracting anything on earth if we did that, it would just be supplemental to what we're extracting here sci-fi brain is accurate. none of that poo poo is ever going to happen, and if it did, it doesn't help anything

Nelson Mandingo posted:Yep, a handful of people surviving is significantly more ideal than the entire species being wiped out. Is it though? We are very, very clearly a flawed species. We don't have to go on forever. We clearly don't even deserve it. And nowadays I'm extremely concerned about people crusading for the continuation of the "human race" at all costs. People can do horrible poo poo when they'll zealously do anything for that to happen. Gotta break a few eggs (us) to make an omelette (the very few fortunate) right?

steinrokkan posted:We don't have problems on earth because of a lack of resources, or a difficulty in extracting them responsibly or whatever. All our problems are entirely political and no technology will solve them. If a comet wiped out virtually all of life on earth and the remaining 100 human survivors lived underground for a century eating cockroaches, their counterparts on Mars Colony would pine for their quality of life.

Three Olives posted:There are significant questions if SpaceX reusable model actually saves any money, it actually maybe costs more? According to SpaceX own numbers it maybe, maybe saves a couple of million per launch and their refurbishment time and cost is absolutely nowhere near where they promised it would be by now. You don’t gotta hand it to musk and maybe internet in rural areas is better in other parts of the world than in Australia but Starlink has been great where I am, at least compared to the alternative options available. I guess the microwave connection to a local phone tower was pretty good until some trees grew too tall and blocked the signal. But once that started loving up Starlink was way better than satellite NBN.

Gaylor Moon posted:It's just such a dick-waving ego thing for him. This probably just sounds like ignorant leftist speak but, wait for it, what if this dude actually did put his money toward fixing the problems we have here on the planet; helping actually impoverished people get food, clean water and not having to worry about their day to day in just a simple ways. I know the obvious is "because it won't make him money" but it really just does feel disgusting to me. It's all about ego for him and god forbid he actually use all that wealth to actually help humanity in any tangible way. He literally offered to sell $6 billion of Tesla stock and put it toward ending global hunger if anyone could show how it could actually be accomplished. The UN gave him a complete plan to do so and he immediately backed out of his offer. He's a gigantic piece of poo poo, OP

Three Olives posted:In exactly what way? What inherent value have we created on earth that should be duplicated on other planets? That's not an answerable question because it's rooted in explicit nihilism. Any answer will inherently be flawed simply because it's easy to go "lol nothing matters" to it. So I would say that any rational response is that it is inherently more beneficial and moral that we continue the survival of the species than not. I'm very pro-space development and that's not really a point of view anyone can really sway me away from. Infact I think it's the superior moral and economic road we should take rather than a military industrial complex. quote:This is 100% never ever happening stop watching Sci f Literally anyone saying that survival in space is fundamentally "impossible" is taking a mighty leap of faith. It's more accurate to say that with our current level of technology and space development it wouldn't be possible. This is an extremely new area of research. With increased space development would necessitate the need for increased funding and research into space medicine as well as other potential technologies.

The carbon cost is insane, due to how many satellites it takes to fill a constellation, and their short orbital life span. Same greasy loving nerds think it's cool they can get broadband through a satellite dish, so let's excuse 'ol Musky again. The Kessler Syndrome imminentization is bad for their pet hobby too.

Nelson Mandingo posted:That's not an answerable question because it's rooted in explicit nihilism. It's not nihilism at all. It's objective reality that we, as a species, are destroying an entire planet in real time and we are now experiencing those consequences every day. It's pretty easy to assume with our history that whatever planet we go to next, we will kill. That's what we do.  I love space exploration btw. I want more of it and it's great and has given us countless technologies that benefit every single human life and we should do it as much as we can but in the year 2023, you gotta be pretty dense to think that humanity is going to last into the far future. We have too many flaws. The biggest one by an order of magnitude... Greed.

Elon is probably the best example of why billionaires should not exist. No one person should have that much money. He really should be taxed down to a net worth of "merely" millions of dollars but that'll never happen for as long as Republicans have any kind of power whatsoever
