Neeksy posted:Mars as habitable land is an absolute fantasy considering we don't have surplus poo poo to send to Mars indefinitely... We absoutly do have enough stuff on earth to keep sending supplies for what 200-300 people for ages. Supplies wise for earth that's trivial. The cost of sending mutliple large supply drops just for all the rocket missions would be massive though. Also you would really need to pre-deliver like just a whole bunch of supplies there, so if the first people can afford to miss a few supply drops if issues crop up.

Jelly posted:You don't become one of the most visible bigots in the world without harboring an entire village of self-loathing. Even before he got into all the reactionary poo poo and became a reply guy for the dumbest accounts this was clear when he started trying to be epic online when most people with unlimited resources would do anything else with their time. He made it way worse for himself by falling into the stupidest beliefs it's possible to have which shattered his image to the general public and got the media to finally cover him even somewhat critically when he'd always been an empty charlatan.

I bet Grimes said some dumb poo poo about the singularity and living on the internet and then Elon didn’t realize that she was full of poo poo and he started trying to do it, and that’s why he’s a le epic meme billionaire. He strikes me as exactly the kind of thirsty dumbass that would change something about himself because his crush suggested it.

There's a real big picture argument to be made for trying to colonize Mars, but it's real big picture, like said above, to spread humanity out onto multiple worlds so that if something catastrophic happens to Earth (which is possible), we'd have another place to go. But that's real big picture, like utopia planning, a humanity that thinks of bettering itself into the future, rather than what we have, a collection of greedy CEO's. In our actual world, there's no reason to go to Mars other than planting a flag to beat the Chinese, and some scientific benefit.

I don't think we should worry about Mars until we have a plan of terraforming it properly. I think we should also be looking at Venus a a terraforming target. Make whichever ends up with the tech to do first, first. Hopefully the other follows as a backup plan a few decades down the line.

Does elon understand that pissing off the top end legal systems of countries is extremely dangerous if he plans to leave the states? He's going to end up getting arrested at gunpoint on foreign soil I get he has bodyguards up the wazoo, but that doesn't mean anything against legal lethal force

But each would be a monumental, civilization level effort. Massive. Technically doable, right now. But who in the heck would pay the many trillions of dollars to do so?

And any realistic plan to terraform mars to any useful degree is going to be using decades and centuries as it's units in it's time frame. It turns out all that poo poo is going to take ages and a truly immense amount of resources. If things are going well in like 2200 AD for humanity, sure we might start a serious attempt than, but before that I really doubt it.

No, terraforming Mars is entirely possible in the next 20 years. All you have to do is buy some Starlink, Teslas, and X Premium++ Gold Platinum subscriptions.

I've been reading the "Red Mars" trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson and he goes into great detail about terraforming Mars. Some of the big actions were: Crashing one of the moons into the surface, and later crashing another big asteroid; giant global mirrors to increase the Sun's strength; digging enormous, giant holes all across the planet to release heat from underground; nuking the entire northern hemisphere from below ground in order to melt the permafrost; a giant space laser that burns a channel around the entire equator; etc.....

Terraforming Mars or Venus will never happen because humanity will run out of natural resources on Earth and/or turn it into an uninhabitable ball of death before we even get close to the technological level needed to make it possible. We can't even manage our own atmosphere. Thinking about creating one from scratch is just pure fantasy.

No, technologically, theoretically, we could do it right now. But it's a pie in the sky pipe dream.

It's like that "Torment Nexus" tweet except Elon musk is too stupid to read science fiction so he's basing everything on all the worst aspects of every videogame he's ever played because he liked the aesthetic.
