Still awesome for a kid to gawk at. https://www.american-spacecraft.org/lunar-modules/lm-mission-sim.html B Squad Leader fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Mar 2, 2024 |

Dig me up in 500 years and fling my ashes into the sun whenever spaceflight is affordable. you’re already flying through space at 66,627 mph. the sun will come for whatever’s left of you in -7.5 billions years. no need to fomo your corpse into a rocket

Here's a cheat sheet to humanity in space: TL;DR: It's real hard Otherwise, there's no where good to go Humanity's only future in space is in spinning space stations There's very little appealing about Mars Or the Moon

The thing to know about space is that even though there are tons of stars and moons and explosions, it is still almost always nighttime there.

Cool thing to consider: There's the visible universe, which is the measure of the furthest source of light. However, because of the expansion of the universe, there are parts of the universe from which light will never reach us - it's too far away, and with space expanding, always further and further..... We know nothing about this unobservable universe. Like how big it might be. One can assume the laws of physics are the same, but just an assumption. And we'll never know otherwise.

Speaking of smashing rocks, we live on at least Earth 2.0, as Earth 1.0 was mostly destroyed in the collision with another small planet. Which we mostly absorbed, leading to our big iron core, and our relatively huge Moon. Earth 2.0 was a much improved planet.

Um, we may not all be around to see that particular update, but I'm sure it will be great. Don't listen to the haters.

I think what's different here (with the collision that ultimately produced the Moon) was it was pretty late in that process of building.

We have iron in our blood. Blood being super important to our success as a machine. That iron came from a big old rear end star that exploded, long ago. And not our Sun, that's our brother/sister/uncle/aunt. But rather, some long gone big rear end star, that exploded, and seeded the gas cloud that became our Sun and solar system. The iron in our blood is older than the Sun, older than the Earth....

There is no short term future on the Moon or Mars. Better to spend our efforts on structures in space.
