>>131245589
Kind-of yes.

We can probably build something like a bigger ISS or a moon or mars base at even more tremendous expense, and it'll be fairly or fully permanent at some point.

Reaching further out into the solar system seems unlikely at this point, never mind distant stars.

I personally believe these will not even happen with biological humans any time soon.

We'll probably send have to send artificial intelligences. Human thinking models in computers. Or some such.

Only with computers we might be able send low-weight but redundant systems that will work perfectly upon arrival. Human life can't make it at this point, and we would be troubled with massive weight/size/time problems in sending a spaceship colony even if we integrated crazy amount of error recovery codes into our biology (which we don't entirely know how to do at this point).

Not without insane growth in tech and our understanding of space. Currently there is no dependable way to even breed in space. In addition we would need gravity so that the fetus could grow to survive conditions outside of low grav and we would need sophisticated ways of releasing heat from ships and stopping radiation from penetrating ships also need ways to stop micro meteors/ space junk from popping the living areas etc and a cheaper method to transport materials into space so right now unfortunately it is a fairy tale with no possibility as even if we decided it wont cost money to send things into space the things in space would just die anyway couldn't even breed rats to eat in space that's how dire the situation is currently. Lots of documentaries about the subject probably do better to find those and have someone that knows the problems tell you the information.

No, space colonization would requires technological advancement , and technological advancement requires smart people.

When the niggers out bread the whites and race mix to make even more niggers, you don't have smart people.

the nigglers will require welfare, so all monetary value will be focused on them over technological advancement, because niggers breed like rats and to sterile them is "racist"

you cant genocide them all either because that is "evil", plus it wont even matter in 300 years there will be no more white people, so if in the far far future neo-niggers some how land on another rock, it wont be the humane race colonizing

No. Even a living on the top of Himalayas, in the middle of antarctica or Sahara is not viable.

There places have ready access to water, air, and soil. They have radiation protection and are relatively easy to reach. Natural world produces humans much more than the entire economy, and we survive because of it.

From an engineering stance, yes. Economically, maybe. It will have to be something like homesteading, where the economic drive is a result of individuals seeking their own place on another world and willing to pay for it. There's no economic case for a government to bother with it.

Lel, Voyager 2 might leave the solar system in 2019/2020 and it is expected to be almost unable to power anything much by 2025.

Just a chill 40k years later and it'll finally get within ~2 light years of one star. And in about 300k years it's going to be a few light years from Sirius.

So really, feels like we're very fucking close.
>>
>>131248126

>>131247948
It's not even economically feasible to extract resources that way. You'd spend more than you would get back in almost any realistic scenario. >>131248066
Depends on what you mean by "livable". You could live on mars just fine, but it would be a difficult environment to maintain. Totally man made and artificial, but it could be done for a significant number of people.
>>
>>131247603
It took them 40 years to reach that, and Voyager probes are the second and third fastest human-made objects ever.
>>
>>131248172

Besides, with the latest engines we could get a probe to the nearest star system within a human lifetime.

>>
>>131248236
>It's not even economically feasible to extract resources that way.
And its only that way because we have yet to develop the technology to make it economically viable
Again, its long-term planning here. Having ag stations, asteroid capture and mining stations, etc in orbit are all things we can do now, and that would pay off only a few decades down the road
But the key point here is that it would take decades to pay off. And again, our economy is not set up for something like that.

Sort of a chicken and egg problem there. We don't have the technology to capture a massive body and put it in earth orbit because it isn't economically feasible to develop the technology to do that anyway. regardless, it would take a huge fuck off size rocket to redirect it, which would take a bigger fuck off size rocket to put your fuck off payload into earth orbit to begin with. A that point you have such a powerful goddamn machine that you may as well just build a colony ship and call it a day.

It's EASILY possible. Unfortunately, our planet is full of monumental idiots and we devote our energy into outrageously idiotic bullshit that doesn't matter.

The average person these days has no idea, no sense, not even a fundamental concept of just how advanced our technology actually is. Not even a basic fucking concept. Not to mention how advanced it could become if we pumped large amounts of resources and time into further advancement.

Also, once we develop truly sentient AI... well... space colonization will become a much simpler matter than it is today by immense orders of magnitude. AI will change many things. Hopefully, it doesn't end up being some faggotry where the ultra-wealthy elites control it and thus everything and 99% of the world's population will dull labor slaves that don't even know what the elites have access or even that they could have access to.

Anyways, the answer is yes (easily)... but will it actually happen? Who knows.

the whole, 'flat disc flying upwards at 9.8 ms^2' argument is used to make the whole thing look silly. Gravity is most likely just air density mixed with some sort of electro magnetic bond. Tesla was most likely starting to figure this out, and that's why he was dicredited/ possibly killed. The Nazis invented electro-magnetic levitiation in the early 40s or 50s (see Foo Fighters (not the band)) and the US military adapted said technology from the NAzi Scientists that were brought over in Operation PAperclip. The government will most likely use said technology against us and claim its 'muh alien invasion'

Gravity literally cannot just be density, because the buoyancy force is linked to gravitational acceleration. Put a Styrofoam ball in water without gravity and it doesn't move upwards, it just stays there. Besides, things would float if you put them in a vacuum chamber. Any flat earther could prove that.

Do you understand how fast technology and knowledge, in general, will advance once truly sentient AI exists?

Just to give a brief something to ponder... ok, think about the total amount of thought you will think over the course of your entire life. The total amount. A decent amount of thought right? No... an AI will think that amount of thought in a brief insignificant short passing moment.

Think about the advancements we've made in the past 100 years compared to the entire rest of human history... that's NOTHING compared to what will happen once AI exists. That amount of advancement will be made in days... and it'll become faster... from days, to hours, to minutes...

It's a hard concept to understand. Of course, we do have to remember that we could easily fuck up with AI and prevent it from being used correctly. Or some faggot elites could horde the tech for themselves (if they haven't already) and etc etc.

But yea... an unrestricted AI with the ability to advance... it'll be mind-bogglingly insane.

The ISS is set in a place where it's always "falling", but it "falls" fast enough and in such an angle that it doesn't reenter orbit.

Interestingly enough, if you were to go super fast, like close to the speed of light, you could make the trip between galaxies in as short a time as you want to. For you, on the ship.

Because it's not the fuel and the outside structure what's expensive.
Anyone can fill a steel tube and fill it with kerosene and pure oxygen, but you do you ensure it gets to space?
How do you ensure it doesn't freeze until it doesn't work?
How do you ensure it generates enough energy to reach escape velocity?
That's like saying that cars should be cheap because you can easily make a steel structure with the form of a car and attach a bunch of wheels to the sides.

They can't carry enough pressurized gas to do the job, like a scuba tank losing psi the deeper you go underwater, the opposite will occur as you lose atmospheric pressure on the ship.

So if you take off at 100 psi, it'll be a lot higher psi by the time you reach the (((space station))) so it'll need to be made of steel (heavy) and lower than optimal pressure at take off, reducing the capacity significantly.

They don't literally hold the station up like a constant jet of gas. Things in orbit just stay in orbit forever unless they're slowed down. The space station is in really low earth orbit,and so traces of the atmosphere slow it down a little bit over a long time. You just speed it up by a few m/s, which really doesn't take that much fuel. Remember, it's speed parallel to earth, nut straight upward.

Yes and no.

Space travel would essentially require time travel, because shit is so far away, and moving too fast would turn you into jelly. Meaning, you can't travel through space and set up a colony somewhere else through conventional methods.

On another note, there's an international law (Thanks, USA) permitting any space programs from leaving the upper atmosphere or else get vaporized. The last space team that attempted to leave Earth's atmosphere into the vacuum was destroyed from an unknown source. The International Space Station, for example, isn't beyond said atmosphere. It's just in lower orbit and can be seen by the naked eye.

>>131251806

Sadly, I can't deny that some flights are faked today. Rocket launches are very expensive, and staying in orbit for an extended amount of time is almost a guarantee of cancer or at least some kind of radiation-related problem (e.g. most Apollo astronauts developed cataracts after exposure to gamma radiation - they described "bright flashes" that were the result of gamma photons hitting their retinas).

The funny thing is: We didn't have the technology at the time to convincingly fake the Apollo missions.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, though as I have done some contract work with the Air Force and NASA, I find myself more convinced that there is something we're trying to avoid up there (and its not radiation).

China is, without a doubt, falsifying most of their taped missions, though.
>>
>>131253451
>Airplane flying against orbit does not experience epic ground speed increase
Because they don't fly at 400km in height and gravity holds them much tighter than the ISS?

These pictures are irrelevant as evidence unless you can site them being used as "official" space pictures somewhere.

>You could live on mars just fine,
No. You can't. You'd have to live deep in the caverns, because there is radiation that slowly kills anything near surface. It would be a million times easier to live inside the cavern that exist naturally deep in the earth.
>>
>>131253574

The cost of getting things into orbit, which is still retarded as there are much cheaper means available to do so, but hardly anyone ever utilizes them

See, now you're getting it! You get to orbit with horizontal velocity, not vertical velocity. You only go upwards at first to get out of the atmosphere.
>>
>>131253574
Are you going to ignore that we already told you a couple of replies ago that what's expensive is the engine?
As I said, the logic you are using is that a car should cost a $500 maximum because with that you can buy enough gas, enough steel to make the body of a car and attach some wheels to the sides.
>>
>>131253610
That's using gravity to get to a longer distance though, rather then just getting things up into orbit

What could be simpler than a tube full of fuel pointed up? Our UAV auto pilots and solid state gyros can easily fly them on target.

Jet fuel (kerosene) is about $1 per litre, liquid o2 probably the same. Steel is dirt cheap, where's the expensive part of this?

Something more cost efficent, some of them are being looked into actually, like the space plane thing

>>
>>131253868
You can start seeing the effect at about 40km in height.
At that height, for example, gravity is 1.2% less strong than on the surface, and then the gravitational influence starts exponentially decreasing.
Commercial planes fly at about 10 to 12 km in height, while the ISS is at 400-410km.
>>
>>131253846
Nah, before you get too worked up you need to realize how far away the DISCOVR satelite is. it's really fucking far away, about a million miles. The moon is only 238900 miles away, so from that far out they look similar sizes.
>>
>>131253981
That's way more complicated than a big v2, and definitely more expensive. They're lying to us
>>
>>131253819
Precisely we use rockets because they are the cheapest.
And you keep ignoring, once again, that what's expensive isn't the fuel, it's the engine, like in pretty much all vehicles.
Without the engine, you just have a tube of steel full of cheap fuel.

The US and Russia both had plans for orbital battle stations in the cold war. The US one in particular was going to be armed with nuclear bomb-pumped lasers and a large armory of tungsten rods to be used as kinetic projectiles for bombarding the ground. The reason this never happened is because of the Outer Space treaty.

If humanity ever wants to get off this rock, someone needs to start putting armed military satellites in high orbit to set off an arms race. Without an arms race we're not going anywhere.
