oh i was looking for that movie title ever since youtube recommended one of its scenes a year ago, what an interesting movie

anyways its beyond dumb to think of colonizing mars (irradiated lifeless shithole) or building space megastructures (doomed mass graves in space) when the blatantly obvious answer is to “terraform” earth (unfuck the effects of climate change and pollution)

these are questions if humanity ever destroys capitalism and makes it into the far future when this sort of shit becomes reasonable

terraform earth

This is the go-to answer lol. If we can’t even terraform earth to stop climate change, we sure as shit are not going to terraform a place with no atmosphere or water and is years of travel distance away from us. AFAIK right now it would take about 5 years to send humans to Mars and back.

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.

ACKSHYUALLY a space station is a piece of tech that exists in a vacuum.

I’ll see myself out.

I think the adult sons who unironically dream of colonising other planets (although no suitable candidate has been discovered thus far) are comfortable spouting this nonsense because they feel they will remain insulated from the effects of climate change 20 or 50 years from now (as they are right now) and they are too misanthropic to consider people losing lives and livelihoods to it right now as legitimate problems.

That’s why these adult sons are comfortable having conversations about space stations and stuff as one of them puts it while the top scientists and engineers in US and China struggle to send like 5 people to the moon and back. If you bring up Musk you must be deranged despite the fact that he is an outspoken fascist deeply coupled with American space endeavours. Please let the adult sons talk about space stations and stuff completely disentangled from political and economic realities in discussions that would have been dated twenty years ago.

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

Yeah, but if you take too long Sinistar chases after you. We need think about these things!
