I've been debating making this thread for a long time but finally this pissed me off enough to do it: MazeOfTzeentch posted:gently caress right the gently caress off back to D&D with your trust fund maoist oval office bullshit, this is the spaceflight thread, not the "clamor over everyone to make sure you look the most leftist" thread. Like yeah derails suck, and I feel bad about them in that thread since it's often full of neat information but this guy's whole life flashed before my eyes I've known so many dudes like this and it's gross and since I'm already feeling nauseous as poo poo I've decided now this is happening   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yzjk-m2vtc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qag2bOBUVfQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQQYbKT_rMg I think climate change and it's related effects are probably the Great Filter and if we don't get out there within the next 30 years or so we'll wreck our own poo poo hard enough that nobody will ever get another chance, trapping our species here until we go extinct At the same time, the fact that the only people pushing for this to happen are a handful of billionaires and their oblivious pampered techbro worshippers makes it increasingly difficult to be excited by the dim prospect of ensuring the continuity of our own species since it seems likely that even the best case scenario will more closely resemble <dystopian fiction of your choice> rather than anyplace you'd want to actually live This is not a good op and I apologize Tighclops has issued a correction as of 18:02 on Jul 15, 2018 |

I'm pretty sure butt stuff is legal on Risa at leastElukka posted:I mean we should do this because in the very long term it's an excellent idea not to be confined to one rock, but it's not an escape from current climate change or any other near- to mid-term crisis. If civilization on Earth goes to poo poo any nascent space colony dies. Even Elon Musk understands space is not an escape from climate change. This is why I think climate change is the great filter
