>>
>>13491055

Well it's only expensive because it's a material not much in demand I suppose. If those robots are in demand, then supply will naturally increase while production methods will be refined and so on drastically lowering costs. It kind of assumes large demand to work though, which doesn't entirely answer your question on it's own.

>>
>>13491088

The manufacturing process for carbon fiber is a nightmare. Advances in the manufacturing of it would bring the price down. Demand isn't the issue right now. It would be an almost instant substitute for so many things that the company that manages it would become Apple rich.
>>
>>13491290

Well I meant more that if the demand for something that only exists in a carbon-fiber form (i.e. depends upon it to work) increased then those advances would be made by someone, because the money would be pumped in to do it where now it's only a small amount of people trying to do it since while there is a possible demand should it happen, there isn't an actual outstanding and existing demand to get it now, now, now as it were.

Well to be honest, there is probably no reason to ship resources back to Earth. So the only reason is if we actually colonised it.

Not all colonies are for making money. Sometimes people colonise because they want to make a fresh start. Right not it is still too dangerous, but at some point we should find a way to truly create a sustainable space colony design, or a moon base, and then people would start thinking of it as something viable.
>>
>>13491636
>probably no reason to ship resources back to Earth
Except all the people who want to buy your platinum.

Not from Mars, but it's not like we don't have relatively nearby asteroids.
>>
>>13491636
All those things need money. And our technology level make this kind of things really difficult. When Columbus set off to the "West Indians" it was only a trip of a few months. If anything went wrong he just had to turn back (like he almost did). If we set off to colonize, let's say, Mars with our current technology level we're talking about a years-long trip, extremely dangerous and with 0 chance to turn back if anything goes wrong.
>>
>>13491655
It's a real shame there isn't any money around.
>>
>>13491653
>Except all the people who want to buy your platinum.
Right now it isn't actually economical to ship the platinum from Space to Earth. It still costs too much and is cheaper to get it locally.
>>
>>13491677
Oh my god, how do you even breathe?
>>
>>13491670
It's more about our shitty space travel technology. If you make a motor that could take any payload from Mars to Earth securely (and vice versa) in a few weeks at most, the money for it would come to you in a heartbeat.
>>
>>13491686
>Oh my god, how do you even breathe?
I did the math a while back. But basically even if you have blocks of pure refined platinum on the moon, ready to pick up by hand, you would still lose money getting it back to Earth. Right now the fuel costs just aren't worth it.
>>
>>13491655

Listen, did you ever watch Planetes?
>>
>>13491693
Just to add, the important thing in my original calculation was the realisation that I had to sell the platinum at many times above market price to break even. Thus it is not viable.
>>

Feel free to tell me I am wrong. But do give me an answer first for why you think you would be able to sell space platinum at above market value, especially since you would be doing to in a manner that likely inflates suppy and would crash the price further,

>>13491772
>And what would be the point of colonizing hostile environments, or building artificial environments, when we already have a planet that we can live on?

You can say the same thing about the poor German colonists who died in large numbers in the Louisiana swamp. Why did THEY pack their bags to go to their deaths?

Colonisation were NEVER safe. But if you think you can make it work then being there early means getting a foothold before everyone else.

New Orleans was going to be a French colony. But the colony died out. But the potential was always there. Being the first there, assuming the colony lead to the formation of a future city, means you get to grab all the real estate cheap. It means you get to own infrastructure before people start showing up.

The idea isn't just colonies. The idea was always CITIES. People colonise with the dream of making money off the latecomers who follow them and create an economy.

But as the French learned, colonies can fail.

And of course, eventually Louisiana DID become a city and a vital port for shipping Slave Cotton to England. And as such it DID start to make money. Too late for the French Government as they went bankrupt long before that.

It certainly isn't about mining platinum at cost of several times the metal's value. There are many ways mining in Space can be important, but "bringing the metals back to Earth" isn't one of them.

Again, I really don't know how you typed out all that stuff about colonizing the New World and yet are still stuck here.

You're like a human Blockbuster Video. It's amazing.
>>
Here is what space mining WOULD be for:
Local manufacturing.

Anything made on Earth and shipped to Space carry a hefty premium. This if you could manufacture goods locally with available local materials, you would be able to easily compete with Earth imports. This is shown historically in actual Gold Rush cities, where the people who became rich were not the miners, but the bakers, bars and general stores, who sell goods like bread, alcohol and tents that cost an arm and a leg.
The Conquistadors famously went into debt because they had to ship replacement guns, armour and horses from Spain to South America as a part of their conquests, and most of their loot ended up in the hands of the merchants.
>>
>>13491849
Usually because they think initial costs will be outweighed by future profits.

Looking at it from a scientific perspective, though, I still think there may be problems with mass space travel and colonization. Even if entrepreneurs were really eager for tons of precious metals from asteroids and stuff, it's more likely they would invest in mining drones rather than permanent space outposts or colonies. IIRC the radiation in space has terrible effects on the human body. Until we find a way to get around that, it may be more cost-efficient to program robots to mine for ore, send them up to space, let them do their thing, and then take them and their cargo back down rather than having humans do it.

"All the people who want to buy your platinum" are certainly NOT colonists, but Earth dwellers. And it makes no sense. Please explain.

Have you ever been on medication? For anything, really. This isn't a crack at you having brain problems that require medicine or something like that. I'm just wondering if you've ever been prescribed a drug and therefore know that medicine, and perhaps pharmaceutical companies, are things that exist.

How about cars? Have you ever been in one? Surely you've seen pictures or video of them, or seen them on the street. Do you know how they work? The fact that they're fueled by a liquid? Some company has to provide that fuel.

Consider these subjects briefly and then ask yourself why anyone would ever get into the business of trying to get space platinum (or anything else in space) and bringing it back to Earth.

I'd say it really was on the ball. Aside from VOTOMs, Patlabor is one of the realest real-robot series. It captured one of the more practical uses for mechs outside of the military (construction, and the subsequent necessity of policing those vehicles), put a lot of thought into how the mechs would be controlled (with the gloves that can mimic fine hand movements as well as the labor OS), and has generally earned itself a good deal of respect from the engineers, scientists, and roboticists who are working on robots IRL.

with no force feedback, you have slightly better control than what you get with surgeon simulator

>>13491947
they could be force sensors for center of pressure determination.

the arms seem a little to small to be able to be used effectively with size of the rest of the body

Well, it's s "proof of a concept" they need to iron lots of things.

Hands are way too complex for us to get right with our current technology level. It sounds weird, but is the sad reality. Perhaps the future is really on artificial muscles.

> Do explain what economic value those things would provide

Mars is of dubious value as anything other than a base of operations for future advancement into the solar system, but Asteroid mining has the potential to be HELLA profitable.

One of the asteroid earmarked for mining once Planetary Resources gets its shit together is a big motherfucker that is nearly 70% platinum. Platinum, as you may recall, is a rare and precious metal worth more than gold. We also are using it in an increasing number of our electronics, further driving up its value.
As of 3 years ago, the amount of Platinum in that single asteroid was valued at roughly 6.3 Trillion dollars. And while that one is especially big and valuable, there are an uncountable number of smaller ones, each worth billions or trillions of dollars worth of various precious materials.

The first company to tap those resources is going to be sitting on an absolutely huge resource advantage compared to all other sources.

All that sounds good until you recall how much money cost to launch 1 Kg of mass to orbit, and how much time does it take to reach any place in space. It's simply not profitable with our current technology.
>>
>>13492709
What's that reason?
>>
>>13493143
Some NASA numbers:

>Today, it costs $10,000 to put a pound of payload in Earth orbit.

1Kg = 2.20462 pounds

Let's say your mining machine weights about 500 Kg, putting only that machine it orbit, as of now, cost you 11,023,100 in Uncle Sam's dollars. It's way too much money for just putting that machine in orbit alone.

For what purpose?

>>Right now
>Yeah.
Well that's the thing, by the time space travel is cheap and fast enough to bring platinum beck to Earth, you would no longer care about that. Because if that is achieved we would already be colonising Space. You are dreaming of a scenario that would be obsoleted by the tech advancements if it was achievable.

You would make more money shipping people and normal goods by that point, than shipping metal. Your dream is entirely impractical no matter the tech level.

If you want to colonize elsewhere in the Solar System, Mars is pretty much your only real option.

Since mankind first looked up at the skies, he has dreamed of having sex with them. See: the myth of Tithonus.
We have learned, with great sadness, that we cannot fuck the sky. We will not be the peerless hero who deflowers the virgin sun or the lady of the moon. We cannot even make love to the stars.
But we hope that there will be living creatures who dwell in the stars. We hope that we can reach them and find friendship, that our species is not the sole intelligent life, alone in all the heavens, growing ever more maddened by it's isolation. No, that we cannot accept. There must be others.
And when we find them, we WILL have sex with them. Their blood may be acid and they may breathe poison, but we WILL have sex with them. They may have clawing razors for genitals and limbs that would crush our human frames as easily as we can crush a baby's skull, but we WILL have sex with them, and you can count on it. How, you ask? You are like the early caveman who asked Thog Uklakala HOW when he said he would fight a sabertoothed tiger and win. You do not understand what it is to be human, to wish to have sex with the sky and cuddle with the stars, to want to travel to distant worlds and fuck their strange female-analogues, to wish to hunt the giant sabertoothed tiger and walk away, to wish to be the little girl. These are things that we cannot do with our bodies alone.

If we find aliens, we will have sex with them, just as we soar across the sky, just as we travelled to the moon, just as Thog hunted the saber-toothed tiger at the dawn of man.
We WILL have sex with them, no matter what difficulties we may face along the way. We WILL have sex with them, because if it comes down to it WE'LL BUILD A MACHINE TO HAVE SEX WITH THEM.

See this guy? He's being held down by gravity.
>>
>>13494285
But there's gravity on Mars.
>>
>>13494316
To be fair to that guy, the gravity on Mars isn't as strong as Earth's. Its "grip" isn't as tight.

>>13494161
We have failed to uphold Brannigan's Law. However I did make it with a hot alien babe. And in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars?
