 This is the Space Thread. Talk about outer space, other planets, evidence of UFO’s leaked by the military, pulsars, "yeah we could build a Dyson sphere but who's gonna pay for it?", the Space Force, which alien race you would rather be abducted by, the heat death of the universe, the space race, the best way to terraform Mars, soviet attempts to colonize the moon, that weird freeze-dried ice cream, vacuum toilets, that astronaut who drove across the country in a diaper to murder someone, those deeds to acres of martian land that people give as birthday gifts, asteroid mining, Space X, etc., etc. 3... 2... 1...

So yesterday there was supposed to be a launch and even Trump was there, but it got canceled because of the weather.

euphronius posted:why don’t we see evidence of other alien civilizations Well, when stars die they go supernova, and that sends out a giant explosion of radioactive death all around it. That happens in the Milky Way once about every 50 years or so. If it’s too close to you, your planet pretty much gets sterilized. They think that one may have hit earth 2.5 million years ago, and while it wasn’t close enough to kill all life on earth, it seems like it may have caused a megafauna extinction event. So colonizing mars won’t really help avoid this either, to avoid this you have to travel to different part of the galaxy if you want your species to survive, and one theory is that they all just go extinct before they manage to do that

wolfs posted:on a better, less hellish timeline the orbital mechanics or whatever of Mars and Venus would be slightly different and make these places habitable like the pulp novels said in a further alternate timeline, the soviets would have send more probes to mars than venus, colonized mars, and cemented its title as the Red Planet
