In the event of space travel, colonization, and human endeavors into our solar system and beyond it will be a leftist world that dominates the political sphere from there on out. Prove me wrong seriously.
Everytime i think of what a political world would be in a space faring age i think of leftist and expanded lgbtqtip universe where it never ends. Anything resembling so much as a viewpoint leaning right would be squashed. Honestly i just can't see a future in a space world with anything even right centrist leaning; does anyone have something to prove me wrong i want to be wrong i really do but every time i think of it all i see is a thousand years of darkness in leftist hell hole universe :*(

You don't have to increase its magnetosphere to deflect solar radiation, just put a giant radial filter out in a lagrange point between mars and the sun that reflects the harmful shit and lets enough uv, white light through to grow shit. Easily done, mars will just be in the 'shadow' of the filter.

Send the niggers and muzzies to Mars, after a decade they and their offspring will be too weakened by Mars' low gravity to ever turn to earth. They can be a curiosity to watch from afar by space tourists.

Use a few hundred nukes to blow off Venus' excess atmosphere and terraform it into a comfy white ethnoplanet.
>>
>>133904013
Wrongish.
A thickish atmosphere would stop more than enough radiation to make the surface viable.
I mean, on Earth, the magnetic field goes away every few thousand years as the poles reverse.

It's the thick matter of the atmosphere that stops dangerous shit.

Mars' problem is that it is too cold. There's lots of CO2 in the caps.
Gotta melt it.
The solution is to slam it with a few comet cores full of volatiles.
Maybe a few nukes, why not.
Gotta add heat to the system.

Add a mirror system at the Martian L1 and you're good to go.

The lack of a magnetic field for Mars is a minor problem.
Yeah, in a million years the thick atmosphere that humans like will blow away.
But man that's so far away it doesn't matter.

Mars needs heat and maybe some more volatiles. Enter comets and mirrors.
>>
I've yet to hear one legitimate idea for how we terraform a fucking planet before we learn how to remove carbon dioxide from our atmosphere. Leftists will defend this.
>>
>>133904693
Oh we can.
It's just expensive.
And no one wants to pony up yet.

There's even a cheap route with iron seeding, but no one wants to take that potentially apocalyptic step yet.

We know how, but we don't want to do it yet.

Mars is at the fringes of the habitable zone.
The problem is that it doesn't have enough atmosphere to retain the sun's heat.

I can actually give you that on the economic side of that yea it would actually ironically be more free market in space than on the homeworld with no initial regulations. But even in the very long term we know that would change. So i just can't help and see it very bleak for humanity but one thing it would take possibly hundreds of years to reign in the bureaucracy of the space age. But again we'd think of the U.S in its early stages; very free from old world european influence, people are unregulated becomes so wealthy and powerful that it ends up becoming what it fought to get away from a taxed to death nation with laws and regulations when you look at make no fucking sense. So i honestly can't help but think annon the space faring age is more lefty bs. But you do have a point in the initial stages it would be more economically free than on this planet.

Mars is a dead planet. The electromagnetic shield isn't strong enough to retain what atmosphere it still has. The atmosphere is not being replenished since there's no vulcanism. It is, essentially, a giant asteroid. It would require Nazi Bell levels of local space engineering to do anything even approaching geo-engineering. Plus all those house sized boulders littering the southern hemisphere. I see no real benefits to even visiting that rock. I'm likely missing something; I just don't see the point as of this moment.
>>
>>133906125
You sound more reasonable but i do believe its possible. But launching muh nukes or comet cores is bs b8. And you sound more on point with geoengineering that's what most people tend to lean to. This guy gets it but it would take massive investment and years to accomplish.
>>
>>133905872
Why?
Are you supposing that there is only a limit number of launches possible?

I'm saying that the limit is will and if people want it enough, it can happen.

Compare the budget of the US military to NASA.
I mean shit, look the at the old F-104.
The Starfighter was a suborbital spacecraft forced into a military role.

The issue is budget and desire.
If you want to send 1000 nukes into Martian intersection, we can. We have the technology. We're not going to run out of plutonium trying.

Likewise, if we want to send a mirror to change a Martian trojan to strike the planet, we can.

It's about the willingness to do it. Not the technology.
Obviously, it'd get better if we kept trying
But even now we can do it.

I mean shit, we landed people on the moon over 40 years ago. With computers equivalent to a fucking TI-83.

You must be baiting.
No one can be this stupid.

Yes, thickening atmosphere is a positive feedback loop.
It's not about "creating more energy" it's about RETAINING IT
You moron. If you want to collect more water, then spending money on a bigger bucket helps you do that. You're not creating more water. Moron.

>dead from radiation
The initial colonial buildings will need to be underground, yes, but as you thicken the atmosphere, the need will go away.
The reason why we don't receive much solar/interstellar radiation on Earth isn't because of the magnetic field. It's because of the atmosphere.
Gamma rays are not affected by magnetic fields. You ever see a magnet bend light?
>>
>>133906532
Meme.
Do some research first.

The atmosphere stops gamma radiation. We don't need more to be save.
The magnetosphere stops atmosphere ablation.
Which is measured in percentages over millennia.

If we can thicken up the Martian atmosphere by heating the polar caps or adding more volatiles via comets, then radiation is a non-factor.

And even if we accomplish neither, a buried colony is superior to any other type of colony.
Better than a space colony.

You have not even done the simplest back of the napkin calculations. The amount of material the solar wind will blow away is an exponential function you faggot.

I keep on correct you and you keep on acting like you actually have something legitimate to say.

For everyone else reading, let's take a moment to laugh at him.
He thinks that if a nuke explodes, it detonates. Laugh and feel glad you're not so stupid.
A nuclear bomb is like an old Swiss clock. It takes very precise actions to activate.

If you blow up a nuke, it does not detonate. It just falls apart . You can move a clock hand by setting C4 to the mechanism and expect to work.

Sure, you're gonna contaminate the launch pad. But nothing more. It won't go "all over the place".

I mean, nuclear devices have exploded before.
What do you think powers space probes?

>wanting to colonize somewhere that was already colonized and nuked into oblivion

>>
>>133906328
Launching nukes would do nothing. That's just physical perturbation. It wouldn't help get the electromagnetic shield going. It's all about the electromagnetic shield. The only reason we're alive is because our shield is active and reduces the amount of atmosphere stripped off in space. What little of our atmosphere is stripped off is replenished by our volcanoes. It's a very delicate balance. There is no such balance on Mars. Hitting it with anything is like hitting a rock and expecting it to spontaneously come alive.

It would only be worth it if we could use the raw materials ON MARS to keep people alive. Otherwise we're importing Earth's biosphere onto Mars and that just won't work since Mars will just destroy everything we cart over.

Not that I'm trained in any of this. Just thought experiments I've conducted on my own.

Typical blue pilled delusional space enthusiast.

If the rocket carrying the nuke explodes, you get a few kg of highly enriched uranium spreading into the upper atmosphere and trade winds and you can expect a noticeable uptick in cancer rates and people calling for the deaths of those involved and the immediate termination of that crazy scheme.

Meritocracy gives best chance for new colonies. Affirmative action degenerate colonists will die out.
Fuel, water, air, living space are all limited in deep space so no one will be giving anyone else free rides.
Border security - the genetically engineered bacteria we eventually terraform Mars with or any alien life forms will have to be kept away from Earth so biocontainment will be a huge issue. Also all ships are airtight with no way to sneak on or off.
Weapons would work really well against spaceships, a few little holes in the hull are a huge problem. Easy to defend territory.
It'd probably be a bit sjwish because you have to live in a tiny tin can with that gay guy for 3 years so tolerance will have to be high but overall it'd be ancap.

????? To slam comets into mars or just to nuke mars?

>Add a mirror system at the Martian L1 and you're good to go.

how, with magic? how will you maintain it?

In addition to your magical thinking, you simply have a poor grasp of physics. The quantities of energy that would be involved are just not possible right now. Humans do not produce enough energy nor do we have a way to transport it within a time scale to come close to this. Assuming that all governments somehow decided to turn all energy production in the world towards terraforming mars we couldn't do it. Are you on drugs?

Sure that's maybe best case senario where do you go from there then? say 500 years down the line when the terraforming is done?

And if so wouldn't be so in the begging ages then as you progress to a more easy going society you get what we got now?

There actually is. Enough to make the ISS apply thrust every so often to maintain station.

If the ISS, made for steel and lighter materials, need to push itself constantly out of falling to Earth, what would plutonium and uranium, and other particles need to do to escape?

If they're heavy enough to be radioactive, they're heavy enough to fall to Earth.

It does, you're right.

No, I literally said the problem is of resources. If you were God of this Earth and ordered our entire planet to focus on Mars and Mars alone we still wouldn't have enough.

>If I were you, I wouldn't draw attention to that.
I want to draw attention to it because of how stupid you'll look from your lack of reading comprehension.

Can confirm. Mars is just a staging point. Elon realises you can never be far enough from niggers. Elon has seen what Africa is like. His end goal is to have entire planets with just one race so that we can run an experiment and see how each race competes. The grand experiment will be Earth where multiculturalism will be tested to see the effects of the jewish weapon

>>133902333

No. They want to talk about colonizing Mars to get nerds to suck their tiny clits but will actually make no effort in doing so. Mostly because it's impracticable. Or at least in this life time it's impracticable. Hell. It's not even tangible.

But you replied to my refutation that it did, implying that you thought I was wrong.
We both agree.

It's not the magnetosphere that makes the surface of Earth safe from radiation, but the atmosphere
>>
>>133908893
>There actually is. Enough to make the ISS apply thrust every so often to maintain station.
Yes but even the interstellar medium will do that over enough time.

>what would plutonium and uranium, and other particles need to do to escape? If they're heavy enough to be radioactive, they're heavy enough to fall to Earth.

Their low cross sections would make it a close race between orbital decay and their own nuclear decay. If there's not enough air for temperature to be a thing, friction from interactions between particles is nearly zilch.

It's both, actually, but you cannot argue that the magnetosphere does not do the bulk of the protective work. If all this shit hit us the atmosphere would puff up too thin to breath, not to mention the fucking heat.

Not remotely comparable to the low level that ISIS is flying at.

I can't quite find the numbers for density in the mesopause, where the ISS flies, but it's certainly very much denser than the interstellar medium.
We have atmospheric phenomenon that appear at that height. Like sprites.


They'd still fall though
400 km is not that far.
If they'd decay out in 400k vertical space, they'd decay out 400k in horizontal space.

Fallout isn't really that much of a thing now.

Earth itself was a Joint Colonization(Blacks = Africa, Whites = Europe, Asians = Asia), so it would be fitting & ironic to see Humanity re-colonize the Planets they left. All those Craters you see on the Planets/Moons were from Weapons Systems during the War/Conflict.

>>
>>133909605

Of course it's both.
The magnetic field stops alpha and beta radiations.
That's totally true.

But once again, if you looked at the parent posts, you'd see that I was talking about gamma.
Gamma radiation is not affected by the magnetosphere at all.

Alpha and beta radiation is what strips away the atmosphere. But in very long term time frames.

We're talking about artificially bulking about the Martian atmosphere to make it safer.
If that happens, then yes, the Martian surface would be safe for hundreds of years.

you are not grasping the vast difference of scale involved. I am not going to explain freshmen year of physics to you. you are an idiot. Learn how to calculate velocity. Learn how to calculate energy transfer in Joules. Learn how to calculate apsis. You have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Do you think that people are going to fly up in the air above the martian poles and hang a mirror that just floats above them which will cause lasers to melt all the ice? Do you think that we will spot "some quantity" (you haven't even figured that out yet) of comets at "some volume of mass" (you didn't even consider that) point to them with big rockets, then blast off and somehow get these comets to hit mars causing tress to pop up? Hey I have an idea, lets just fill up giant balloons with oxygen, put them in to one really really big rocket and crash it into mars! With nukes!

Just pointing it out so you don't hide in it.

Mesopause? Wtf are you smoking? The ISS resides in the middle of the thermosphere.

>They'd still fall though
Not before 70&-90% of its mass had decayed though alpha emission.

Besides, nobody is talking about the third stage failing in orbit, they're talking about the damn thing exploding in the mesosphere or stratosphere, as rockets tend to do.

>>133910128
You're still launching nukes from earth to TMI. How many are we launching? a thousand? At what failure rate? 5%? The best we've been able to do so far is 11kt/kg. How big are the nukes?

You'll put thousands of kilos of uranium into the atmosphere. It's unavoidable.
