I want everyone to imagine Trump trying to deliver a speech about discovering Planet nine.

I wanna build a big ramp and run spaceships down it using maglev at mach 1 and fire it into space from the top of a mountain.

gently caress space elevators, hit the biggest ramp, fifty.

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.

I bet you could you get Trump to support building one if you let him put his name on it.

Let me remind everyone that one of the probable implications of current exoplanet research is that super earth's are good and strong places for life to exist. Earth and (probably Venus) are comparatively garbage planets for life and the sun is probably on the high end for life bearing stars. So in a way we are special but just in the way we wanted...

also heat is going to be a massive big problem, especially with stuff like foundaries and industry

space is cold but a perfect insulator, which is why even the iss, needs those little white things sticking out the side - those are radiators
