indigi posted:where did you buy them and how much are they i want some CCCP ones. are they authentic They are all authentic, total collection cost me probably about $400, started the collection in summer 2013 when my wife was doing a language immersion course in Moscow and having seen some pins before, I asked if she could go to the Izmailovsky Market and get me a couple dozen ones as souvenirs. Since then, once or twice a year I will look on ebay and try to find any that i don't own that are a reasonable price (I prefer under $2/pin), though I am willing to pay a bit more if it either completes a "series" of pins or if it is from a series of pins that you don't see for sale often. If you just buy a random lot of soviet pins of all categories, they'll be a lot cheaper then if you specifically buy space ones, most will just be random CCCP things or Lenin or about sports, etc. but you'll find a few space ones mixed in most likely the backs of the pins will often have something about their manufacture, a stamp with a month and year or maybe a factory name or maybe a symbol representing a factory, here's an example:  Prices for the pins have gone up a ton since the Russia-Ukraine war, they cost closer to $5-$10/pin in a lot of listings now, and you can't get any shipped from Russia or Belarus and very few now ship from Ukraine. I've been seeing complete sets of some pin series that are super rare that are listed as shipping from Russia so can't ship to the US fermun has issued a correction as of 03:13 on Dec 1, 2022 |

I realized that I didn't upload a picture of 4 of them and that 2 more were not in my drawer that I keep them in, not sure where those might be.  I only got one pic, didn't show off the hologram, oh well. this is a pic from 2018 but the missing two are the two of the astronaut wearing red:  edit: this is why triples is best. triples is safest.

What about asteroid mining? On one hand it's a distraction from fixing the climate we have. On the other, unlimited mineral resources. And unlike The Expanse, I'm pretty sure you can just use tele-operated robotic miners instead of sending laborers halfway across the Solar System to get at those rocks

The minerals of interest in the asteroid belt are iron, nickel, cobalt, and some small amounts of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. It would undoubtedly be a better use of resources to just dig through garbage dumps on earth and recycle the minerals here, or have undersea mining drones on earth. But I suppose in some hypothetical where it would make sense you'd probably wanna put a refinery in orbit around mars or something so you weren't flying big useless rocks around. Really though, the whole thing seems like a setup for someone intentionally crashing an asteroid into the earth

indigi posted:probably going to happen either way I wouldn't think so unless humans start leaving earth in the billions and then there was a conflict between the people on earth and the space people. It would be pretty hard to direct an asteroid at a specific place on earth so unless some group was just trying to kill everything on earth and make it uninhabitable for millenia there's not much point Unless you're just talking about random asteroid impacts, those are pretty common. Supposedly a mass extinction level asteroid hits every 200 million years or so but at least 3 have hit earth already so that's at least 3 fewer potential big boys there out of 1.1-1.9 million 1 km+ asteroids in the belt. It might not make sense to mine asteroids but it probably wouldn't be a terrible idea to set up asteroid monitoring stations around ceres or mars that could shoot out little drones to steer wayward asteroids into the sun

yeah getting all the mining and resultant pollution off Earth would be unambiguously good, but it's much too expensive and centralized an undertaking for anyone right now. we can't get power companies to switch to nuclear or agribusiness to utilize ecologically harmful techniques, even in cases where there'd only be insignificant upfront costs. you'd have to dedicate the US military budget for a decade+ before any smelted iron made its way back to Earth, even if every citizen in China wanted to, they can't realistically begin such an undertaking right now with the US and EU breathing down their neck Red Baron posted:I think they were more talking about an “oopsie” where the asteroid just hits somewhere yeah either this or maybe millenarians

If you had the resources, technology, and political power to send robots to get minerals out of asteroids and return refined metals to earth it would probably take fewer resources and cause less pollution to make primary resource extraction more environmentlly friendly and just do it on earth, though. An iron mine, for example, it's main impacts are combustion emissions, acid mine drainage, and tailings. The combustion could be resolved by fuel cells or nuclear equipment, the acid can be solved by taking the sulfur compound containing rocks and keeping them from getting oxidized or even extracting the sulfur for other purposes, and the tailings can be used as a concrete amendment. That would all make the iron more expensive but probably not nearly as expensive as fancy asteroid iron

It would undoubtedly be a better use of resources to just dig through garbage dumps on earth and recycle the minerals here, or have undersea mining drones on earth. How good are recycling processes for converting electronics and other complex synthesized products back into materials that can be reused? I know Apple likes to hype them but I have to wonder if modern civilization is so good at manufacturing complicated items that it's very hard to convert into reusable form. Though of course, I might be thinking of plastics, which of course space mining wouldn't help because no fossil fuels up there.

if we're just assuming the progression of technology will make pretty much anything possible then we could have nanomachines or genetically engineered bacteria that can strip valuable resources out of scrap it doesn't really make sense to say that limitations of our current recycling capabilities mean that obviously we need to invent all the technology necessary for asteroid mining
