What I mean by that is a fascism which is optimized for space development instead of military production and waging war.

We absolutely need, as a species, to become multiplanetary. Sooner rather than later. Asteroids are not fantasy. One exploded over Russia not so long ago. Plagues, nuclear war, you name it, we can easily destroy ourselves.

The only way this can happen is massive government support. SpaceX and other private space companies get all of their funding for manned spaceflight from the government. They are not an alternative to NASA. NASA has always subcontracted to private companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin, the ONLY difference is SpaceX doesn't get cost plus contracts. That's a vital, fantastic idea but the fact remains, private industry by itself cannot and never will bootstrap us into space.

I may be alone here in viewing fascism as having a finite lifespan. Communism lived long enough for us to see it peter out and die. Naziism did not, but had it survived that long the same would have occurred. It was not an economically coherent model.

But that doesn't matter. It would only need to last long enough to get a self sufficient colony up and running on Mars, and an industrial base/shipyard on the Moon. After that, it can go ahead and collapse on Earth, it has served its purpose.

Thoughts?

This.

The race of the New Men. They will replace the population of current humans, the modification will be injected into ALL pregnant females by mandatory laws insuring perfect children, who are above competent and are highly socially conscious from the moment of their adolescence.

It will cause a sense of unity and community within mankind.

For without unity we are but scum on this world, but with unity and sight on the expansive galaxy, we will be like gods.

Imagine a Mcdonalds on Zeta Cluster!

Imagine our movies and music subverting other cultures to see the egotistical gods that we are!

We just have to make the leap, we will seal out futures as the one thing that will bring a ounce of life to this vast expanse of shiny stars in the dark that we call universe.

Only humanity is worth anything.

this anon gives op the though of approval. Space fascism seems like a good idea.

But it is just a question to how much you would be willing to help earth.

Good economic systems can help space fascism and economic system are bound to a host of many, many other issues.

You have to start from the ground up to increase support for this (so that people dont rebel), you have to make societies that cherish scientific thought and do more life than being suicidal bombing pedos (slimes).

Ideally, you could probably achieve space Fascism with racial purges and/or nukings of bad countries in a couple of months.

Literally does not matter why we establish self sufficient offworld colonies. Those reasons will be forgotten in 500 years. All that matters is that it gets done, so that 500 years from now we're not still sitting on our asses asking why there are no offworld colonies yet, or worse, picking through the polluted hellscape of a ruined Earth as one of the last few living humans.

Do not be married to the idea of an eternal cause or movement, they are ephemeral. Means to an end. In this case to force the matter of making humanity a multiplanet species in the near term.
>>
>>35194935
>Ideally, you could probably achieve space Fascism with racial purges and/or nukings of bad countries in a couple of months.

No, because this would unite the world against you, and no fascism remotely based on race will ever again be allowed to flourish. It will be strangled in the crib by the now much more powerful opposing interests.

The ONLY THING that matters here is establishing self sufficient offworld colonies. You can pursue your racial holy war after that's done. If anything, nationalism is no longer possible on a single planet due to globalization, the internet, fast intercontinental travel and so on. But with multiple planets it once again becomes feasible.

If anything we should embrace, at least superficially, whatever multicultural bullshit will attract the most popular support. Give the people what they want. It doesn't matter if it's poison. If it results in self sufficient offworld colonies, you will have a largely empty new frontier the government cannot reach in a hurry to try out whatever sort of murderous ethnonationalist movement you have in mind. But that is the cart, not the horse. We must first establish those colonies.

i call for unification war. once one country homogenizes large parts of earth, the real work can begin. complete hegemony of the space above earth will secure said superpower's rule, from there to enact gradual anschluss via EU style union or direct political annexation, with thr ruler owning space and large parts of earth all must eventually fall to said power.massive police state and central education/propaganda bureau might be needed to curb rebels within empire, a small skirmish with hostile aliens would really speed up the process of forming a united earth patriotism
>>
>>35195073

If they are as incompetent, without exception, as you believe then the colony will depopulate itself in short order. What's important is to get that colony built in the first place.

We really must be single minded about this. Distractions are where we are most likely to go wrong. All focus on getting those colonies built and operational.

Again I tell you it is technology that we need not production

If anything we need a boost in research to develop our production capabilities then with what scarce resources we have we can develop an efficient means to reach space and since we invested in research first we will have the means to do so. But if we rush now we may well torpedo our chances of success or spend whatever political will and capital there may be in establishing space colonies on a failed venture.

We are going to do this right and we are going to do this with the highest possibility of success.

true, but humans need a tangible cause to unite them to action, the leadership must always remain pragmatic, but because we are dealings with humans idealism is a must. besides, in 500 years after the first few colonies, the manifest destiny will still give the species purpose and direction.otherwise future generations may query, why did we even get off our asses to create these off-world colonies. without a defined goal human action will be half-hearted and full of doubt.

No you fool robotics to build us larger more powerful space ships and stations

Robots will harvest the necessary resources
Robots will construct and assemble the necessary parts
Robots with our oversight will maintain and optimise themselves.

And its already happening we use robotics to weld our super ships we use robotics to scout. What we need is better algorithms and better material engineering to withstand the wear and tear of space.

And if space is as plentiful as we speculate then it is prudent to risk robots than put humans in the front line.
>>
>>35195243
>otherwise future generations may query, why did we even get off our asses to create these off-world colonies

It won't matter by then. The colonies won't somehow vanish if people start asking that. Once we've invested in that much expensive infrastructure, it creates its own market. See: Salt Lake City. Built for bullshit reasons, still in existence because once they built a city, a market was created. People lived there and generated wealth, so businesses moved there to meet their needs and so on and so forth.

You've designed humans out of the picture. When robots can do all of this there will be no need for humans to exist. If they can self copy from space resources and improve themselves they will eventually grow beyond our control and begin pursuing their own interests instead of doing shit for us.

No need, there are already bacteria species who can literally live in barrels of plutonium, in direct contact with the radioactive particles. They basically grow hardened nuclear armor to protect their DNA from radiation damage. Space eugenics (extensive genetic improvement) solves the radiation problem too. After some gene splicing with those bacteria, and a few months for the bodies cells to fully replace themselves, you could bathe in direct proximity to the nuclear rods and be none the worse off.

You are using a word which specifically means the slow, inefficient process of selective breeding (aka animal husbandry) to refer to genetic engineering. Which is called genetic engineering, not eugenics. Different words, different meanings. Stop calling it eugenics.

Indeed, locate,explore, conquer, subject, eradicate, replace and seed.

Locate all life sustainable, terraform-able or resource rich planet.

Explore the said worlds and define its importance to the Cause(whatever that maybe)

Conquer the world if it has fauna that may rebel at our destiny, the more intelligent the fauna, the more justified the conquest as they are a hurdle to the manifest destiny.

Subject the existing flora and fauna to our research and experiments to better adapt ourselves and evolve.

Eradicate any life form that threatens human dominance on said planet.

Replace the lost with our own designed local fauna and a large group of colonists.

This will ensure human dominion. All actions are for each other and the greater achievements of mankind. Breaking the ways may lead to the slide into the Old Cycle of bitter inner hatred and war, the only rational choice is to outlet the hate onto duties and actions, to control the violence of action with rationale of purpose.

Destruction and xenocide is a viable ideal for the expansion and dominion of mankind and this is justified by the fact that if it were not them, then we woult prey on ourselves.

We are the scourge of the galaxy and the Heirs to its throne.

From Old Terra we hail! Numerous and Belligerent! Death to those who oppose the Cause, even if he be Man.

robots will form the lower slave class for humanity, whereas humans will be encouraged to invest in an education and get an intellectually trying job, such as an engineer, scientist, bureaucrat,businessman etc. humans will be free to pursue the life of intellectual and scientific discovery and thought while robots labor for us. because they are slave units, robots intelligence will be either limited to one only sphere of knowledge, so while they can calculate how to best do their job with max. efficiency they will have zero IQ in any field outside of their specially designated job. robo-uprising solved. the real worry is humans growing to pity slave class robots, and trying to 'free' them.a robo version of PETA if u will. therefore laws which ban robots from possessing faces that are to humas or else attempt to replicate human emotion, which might cause humans to care and feel attachment to droids must be enforced

On the other hand the absence of mechanical computerised machines demonstrates my point that mechanical evolution is to date impossible.

And as I have already said replication is not uncontrolled it is in a controlled environment with specific restrictions and conditions in place.

In natural evolution there is no restriction there is no oversight there is no controls at all save only that which nature bothers to implement.

Hardly an apt comparison at all.

I wasn't suggesting that (it's debatable if that's even possible to program). A problem could arise though if the machines one track mind pushes forward with it's goals at the expense of humanity, even if it doen't 'mean' it (as in 2001 Space Odyssey) , but I guess that's what a kill switch is for.

What do you mean, the absence of robots? Robots are plentiful. If you mean the absence of self copying robots it's simply because we've not yet built one.

AYY LMAO ;__;
>>
>>35196388
ok, but it would still take the bots a few million years to pick their shit up. ample time to find them, even if they become a small eco-system, we could just purge like its hot in its infancy.unless our species was heavily distracted for whatever reason i don't think it would become a worst case scenario u envision. apart from only allowing special units to produce nano-bots as opposed to the rank and file being able to replicate themselves, the easiest solution would be to limit replication abilities to artificial compounds and elements we devise, meta materials which are not in nature, so they would never build independently of us as we would need to give them a supply of artificially configured molecules, so if they got lost in the wind they would have no building capacity as they lack the materials to build themselves
>>
>>35196538
No you argue evolution has brought us here.

By your reasoning evolution should have given us artificial robots by now. But it has not so clearly either evolution is incorrect or you are exaggerating.

I do not discount the possibility that there is a race of sentient replicating machines out there in the universe but for now that seems as likely as your hypothesis that machines will become aware and self replicating by our hand.

I would bet it's easier to start with a small swarm of specialized robots (one for mining, one for locating proper raw materials, one for fabrication etc), together they could produce another copy of any one of the swarm. This approach might work better than trying to stuff all the functionality into one box

It's emphasis on division of power while still permitting the government to act quickly and decisively and delegation of authority to those "on the ground" are ideal for this.

The difference between NASA and SpaceX is those at NASA exist to drag their feet and milk things to keep the good life gravy train going and stretch it out into the foreseeable future while Elon Musk is burning bridges from "ruining a good thing" by cutting out the fat & expediting things because he wants to get to mars himself before he's too old. In short, the difference is priority.
>>

we would happily reply with a great space crusade to put the alien in it's place
>>
>>35196797

Actually NASA's main problem right now is a lack of political will.
They've got shit they want to do but the US government won't approve or finance it.

Most of the tech Musk is using is stuff that was publicly released by NASA. The majority of his engineers used to work for NASA or were trained in programs supported by NASA.

I don't know where you got this idea, he gets his engineers straight out of college at slave wage rates, massively overworks them, fires them shortly after, then hires a new crop, rinse, lather, repeat.

>Ringworlds would have no harvestable resources
That's why you dump a 10 km deep layer of mineral/metals rich regolith down before you make your oceans, lakes etc. Boom, a ring shaped earth. The Ringworld series (larry Niven) takes this to the extreme with a 600 million mile (circumference) ringworld.

Yeah and those college programs are supported by NASA. Because shock and horror, pretty much every rocket or space science program in the USA is connected to NASA.
>>
>>35197109

Generally NASA is pushing the technological envelope. They're doing things that have never been done. So they have to develop everything from the basic underlying tech level and up.

They also have to go through all possible means of doing it just to make sure they don't miss an obvious easy route.

Don't forget they briefly considered the construction of a space gun back during the moon race and even built a working scale model to test the idea.

Thanks for sales pitch mr NASA pr, but spacex will and is doing what you do for a tenth of the cost, making the NASA justification as hollow as a hollywood starlet's vagina.

I'll believe you when SpaceX establishes a Mars colony or actually sends someone to Mars.
Hell at this point I'd settle for them sending someone to the Moon. But China or Russia will be there first.

It's THE point of SpaceX, to get its creator to Mars. One wonders if he gives a shit what happens back on Earth after he achieves his goal, would explain him burning bridges and burning the candle at both ends for everyone involved, use everything and everybody up as fast possible to get it done, regardless that it leaves a wake of ruin.

>>35197465

So really he just wants to leave his corpse on mars.

>>35197501
Yeah, he wants to retire there, from which death logically follows.
>>
>>35197090
If you're going mine it up, fly it into space, dump it, then remine it, refine it, and use it.

You might as well have just mined it up, refined it there, took what you need and sorted it into storage on the station to begin with.
