They’ll do the same thing they did in the 1600s; just more deliberately, and with more smallpox. And there will be no hero’s left alive to stop them :decorum:

This is also the same judge that pressed the prosecution hard on why Manafort ought to be in jail pre-trial and had everybody wondering if he was a Trump plant. Seems like he’s just trying to make sure the prosecution’s argument is iron tight.

Something we’ve learned in the past few years is jurys don’t really care about air tight legal arguements. If the judge is making them jump through this so that the case is airtight, he’s doing it so that when the jury declares him innocent he can wash his hands of it

If you had evidence of state level crimes and charged against those without needing Manaforts self testimony then the federal level pardon shouldn't matter. But the 'never been tested' and 'system is designed with good faith' issues are still there.

There was a great thread a couple days ago that I can't find anymore cause Twitter search sucks but it was about how Polynesian migration success varied greatly based on what kind of islands they ended up on. On the low islands with minimal freshwater and arable land they could barely survive even though they could walk around and breathe the air and catch fish from the ocean as compared to a space colony.

Also there are massive nickel deposits in Australia that haven't been touched because they're too difficult to reach and thus uneconomical. Space mining is obviously magnitudes more expensive and harder to do.

Basically at this point in time putting people in space is stupid and we should take that money, look at the stars with robots and spend the rest on not turning the only habitual rock in the known galaxy into a thermal shithole

The key financial factor that I’ve seen deliberately avoided in every comparison about this is the ecological cost. In space you could do things eqivelent to strip mining and dumping coal ash in the rivers. Your only concern need be loose debris and dust being flung away from the local area. While you still need large machines for things like crushing and grinding but your equipment overhead for motion in the local area drops to almost nothing.

It’s also a matter of scale. You take an average asteroid and you can reinvest 90% of it’s metals into resource extraction infrastructure and the remaining 10% is enough for a Oneil cylinder or two

So yes in the big picture if your only measure is monetary sale value on earth it’s a wash. May as well just slowly deplete terrestrial deposits. But if your goal in anyway involves doing other stuff in space than you win out by doing bulk material processing in space.

Previously 'waterfront' homes in florida will be lifted onto stilts/pylons by their wealthy occupants and the land value will still be higher than the middle of the country so people wont leave.
