The Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, in the name of the Eternal President and Great Leader Kim Il Sung and of the Dear Leader Kim Jong Il, today joyfully hails the heroic working people of the DPRK’s glorious capital Pyongyang in their world-shattering application of the juche idea and the mastery of man over nature in transporting themselves forever beyond the reach of the imperialist aggressors and their neo-colonial lackeys by embarking on an epic journey into the cosmos. Resolutely smashing the decadent-capitalist and modern-revisionist anti-human self-limiting interpretation of the great scientist Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and firmly grasping the revolutionary implications of self-reliant scientific thinking, they have overcome the supposed barrier of the speed of light and expect within days to reach Alpha Centauri. On the undoubted successful completion of that journey they fully intend to further explore deeper into the cosmos paying special attention to the search for habitable extra-solar planets. In this endeavour they have the inestimable advantage of the on-the-spot advice and counsel of the Dear Leader Kim Jong Il. In his bitterly regretted though heroically borne physical absence the Central Committee is unbreakably united in its determination to strive to continue on the path of self-reliance, retaining as all its members do in their hearts many vivid and imperishable memories of his incomparable personality and a thorough acquaintance with the unparallelled literary legacy enshrined in his collected and now thankfully completed writings which will undoubtedly preserve for all posterity the true and lasting significance of his profoundest thoughts.

The Central Committee notes that in accordance with the Army-first policy, the leading cadres of the People’s Army and many other senior officers have enthusiastically volunteered to stand firmly shoulder to shoulder with the working people of Pyongyang and with the Dear Leader and the great steeled cohort of veteran Party cadres in their outstanding and unprecedented mission. The Central Committee assures the Government of the DPRK that it can continue to rely unswervingly on the heroic and unflinching loyalty of the People’s Militia and on the boundless love and unshakeable firmness of the entire people for the defence and further development of the socialist system.

The Central Committee, therefore, further calls on all the patriotic and peace-loving people of Korea to rally firmly around the banner of the Party and the whole nation in pressing forward the struggle for the peaceful unification of the motherland, the withdrawal of all US imperialist occupation troops, the disbanding of puppet troop formations, and the denuclearisation of the entire Korean peninsula including its maritime regions and the establishment of the united Commonwealth of Koryo and the deepening of the principle of ‘one country, two social systems’ by the new revolutionary principle of ‘one country, many solar systems’.

May the continuing immortal presence of the Dear Leader in our thoughts and memories and the joyous and heart-warming certainty that he is already at least one light-year away and forever receding to ever greater distances console us for his physical absence and inspire us all to new feats of self-reliance!

This was gonna be a thing but then NASA forgot about it and wandered off to try and build another space plane.
The 90's were pretty weird in space.

They'd just tell you they are uploading your brain and then not do it, because who the gently caress cares?

There is no government agency hardcore conspiracy nuts hate more than nasa, due to the massive role NASA plays in covering up the greatest secret of our time: the true shape of our Earth.

i figure id chat with iBaloogan, lay down some ground rules, divide assets, make sure it was a good transfer

what if when you dowloaded your consciousness the "physical" you died instantly? An immortal digitized copy of yourself is made, but from the perspective of the "you" that pressed the download button, it's an instant cut-to-black. The end. Would you still do it? (same deal with teleportation, ala The Prestige).

naw the POINT is to get to mars, I absolutely wouldn't because obviously my soul wouldn't get uploaded till like technology imrpoves (like, 100s of years from now)

I think the 'slice and dice then simulate brain in detail' style upload will eventually happen, but will lose the soul; maybe like 3000 AD + they figure out how to upload / transfer souls

I'd want a fully nondestructive upload, hell, I've ALREADY uploaded a good chunk of myself onto the net in the form of chat bots, websites, uploads, software etc. I really just need some AI to keep updating what I've already done, like when Twitter crashes and burns i want my twitter bot code to be updated to whatever Twitter 2.0 is. Something that manages my estate to keep paying for website hosting / cloud storage etc. Nothing complicated.

This is the reason that Flat Earth is so attractive to people.

It restores geocentrism. The entirety of existence revolves around us. In that universe, it would make a lot more sense for humans to be some kind of special being inhabited by an interior invisible light, instead of just another animal that happens to have a large and incredibly complex brain thanks to sexual selection.

That's why NASA and the other space agencies end up getting cast as lucifers and harbingers of end times prophecies. The blending of pseudoscience conspiracies and ancient religious dogma in the youtube age is just incredible.

The idea that the Earth is flat and that the planets, sun, moon, and starts are nothing like what we are told has been catching on recently, and most people seem to feel that it is a lie and more importantly a distraction.

Those in the flat Earth camp (like Santos Bonacci) are being called lunatics for suggesting this, and whatever evidence/proof they give to show the Earth is flat can just as easily be countered with evidence/proof that the Earth is round. But if one is to consider that there are multiple dimensions, then is it really that hard to believe that in our “dimension” (for lack of a better word) the Earth is round but from the perspective of someone in another dimension the flat Earth model is 100% correct? Well consider this:

In my interview with George Kavassilas, George said that about 70% of crop circles are made by ET’s who are trying to guide humanity in a particular direction, and the flat crop circle that they make actually looks completely different when projected in a form with more dimensions. Further, akashic records reader Andrew Bartzis has described the hollow Earth model as true, but not the way most hollow Earth enthusiasts tell it. The mainstream science model with a crust, mantle, and core is accurate, but the core is not iron but is more like a 4th dimensional star. Also, in every atom within the Earth lies a whole universe of beings to reside in (similar to the neck belt worn by the cat named Orion in the first “Men In Black” movie which contained an entire galaxy within the neck belt ball.)

So is it really that hard to imagine that the spherical Earth model that we know of relative to the flat Earth model is analogous to a higher-dimensional model crop circle that we cannot perceive relative to the flat crop circle model that we can easily perceive. And can one make better sense of this by thinking that if a whole universe can be contained in a small atom within the Earth, then a whole new type of higher dimensional crop circle can be perceived from a flat crop circle that doesn’t look anywhere near as fancy as its higher dimensional counterpart?

I’m only giving out theories and ideas. You folks can try to make sense of this.
