looks to the left crippling pressure and acid atmosphere
looks to the right barren planet with toxic soil
well there’s still asteroids we literally have no idea how to mine and process rubble piles asteroids in zero gravity
Just do lasers at them. They either blow up and you drive over the loot or each shot of the laser magically teleports resources into your hold. It’s not that hard… to think about space
Just let people who are interested in tech talk about tech ffs.
It’s neither particularly pro-Marxist nor anti-Marxist.
Pick your battles. Let them talk.
ppl in that thread really advocating for genetically modifying humans to live in space or remote controlling ‘avatars’ with quantum entanglement, when we could just have cool mecha instead, smdh…
imagine wanting to be this
instead of this
anthro-pessimistic biopunk, not even once
A few years back famed sci-fi author Kim Stanley Robinson (of Mars Trilogy fame) wrote a space book where the takeaway was basically about how interstellar colonization is hard and sucks, and that maybe we should appreciate living on our precious planet Earth.
And a certain section of sci-fi nerds got so mad.
Think about that a lot with stuff like this. Kill the space nerd in your head folks.
If you think of space exploration as an “Elon Musk thing” that says more about you than anything, IMO
Soviets pioneered space exploration. You’re internet poisoned, you have no functioning mind left.
I mean, there’s just one person out there constantly talking about going to Mars and it’s the Muskrat. Anyone who talks about ”colonizing planets” as if it’s something that’s actually going to happen is deeply unserious.

Depends on what timescale you’re talking about. e.g. if we keep building stuff for 1000 years (barring a catastrophe) then it’ll presumably happen.
Normal political thikning is different because it isn’t on that kind of timescale.

Who cares if he’s noisy on mainstream media?
Don’t let shit like that distract you, that’s what they want.
I’m positive the soviet union didn’t posit space exploration as the key solution to ecological overshoot, depleting energy and mineral reserves, demographic collapse, and climate apocalypse. This is what is central to bazinga theory. You don’t need to solve any contradiction. You don’t need to make choices. Just, uh, genetically engineer robots who will terraform random planets for us. Yeah. That’s the plan.
