NASA and the subcontractors incompetence/desire to keep sucking up tax payers cash. Im still not totally convinced it will launch in 2 years

the government is spraying iq shit from planes

actually pretty close.
according to youtube videos, the ammount of lead in hosing in the new houses has dropped to near 0. sure, its making a resurgence despite being highly illegal, but that's only in poor ppl's houses!
but hey, so are CFCs according to the latest research!

It keeps out brainlets like you

>>8385160
I am not at all a brainlet lol. I just had terrible life circumstances.

Not everyone has a rich daddy that pays for all his college admissions preening. Some of us actually have real life problems that get in the way of things.

how is he a brainlet if he is equal in knowledge to a college graduate and just lacks the credentials

how does a piece of paper with a pretty stamp on it make you smarter

Why do I never undestsnd anything in class

This is why this board is such bullshit

Even if we manage to colonize other planets there's no hope for any world humans inhabit.

It's chemical fueled. Yawn. We have been building the exact same devices for sixty years, and it is just as inadequate for 'interplanetary transport' as it always has been.

We need 3000-12,000 seconds of Isp (or more) and meganewtons of thrust to make REAL spaceships.

Unfortunately, that requires nuclear pulse propulsion or Fucking Magic.

>>why aren't we using thing that doesn't exist yet instead?

Because we're afraid of it.

Not because it doesn't exist.

what if it's not matter?

sounds like they should have called it "dark mass".

>>8384792
There's a lot of evidence for dark matter. If it turns out there's another explanation, nobody will be embarrassed. That is what science is, you make observation and try to explain them.

>>8384802
>There's a lot of evidence for dark matter.
Actually there is no evidence of dark matter. It had never been observed.

Yeah, solar panels will work just fine. They can spend the extra money to get them up there. This doesn't seem to be a cost-saving or money-making venture to me. If one company can get a real foothold on Mars that will lower costs from everyone else then it is a huge step forward for everyone.

Dust and half the sunlight isn't a real problem as demonstrated by the rovers. Nuclear is more hassle than it is worth at this moment. It may be good later on though. It is best suited for satellites and unmanned stuff at this time.

Air isn't dense enough for wind.

Combustion fuels are to much mass and no free oxygen on mars.

There is a critical shortage of plutonium for RTGs. RTGs are only good at providing a small steady current for a long time. Plus the God damned hippies protest against them.

Uranium or thorium fission power plants are massive and need someplace to dump heat.

Does launching a rocket require a lot of electrical energy anyway? I'm guessing most electrical requirements will be for life support systems.

I can't imagine they'd actually want to use EVs on Mars. For exploring a planet, you need the range, payload capacity and independence of a chemical engine. It's not like there's an atmosphere to pollute.

category theory is pure philosophy, not mathematics

extra component in other dimension

>>8382040
Square roots of rationals do not generally exist in the sense of calculation. But you can model them as if they existed.

For instance, there is no rational which when squared is equal to 2. So when you do arithmetic with the square root of 2 you just have to carry it around as an uncomputed term. But there's nothing special about doing this with 2. You could also do it with -1.

Think of it like this: counting numbers you learned in elementary school:
>0 1 2 3 4 5 6 (...)
Okay, now say there is an extra dimension at the other side of the 0, we call them negative numbers, denoted by a - character in front and they represent shortages for example. Our number line now becomes:
>(...) -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 (...)
Hmm, quite strange. When we take a square root, we can only really take it from a number >=0, since what number squared could ever equal a negative number, if (-1)*(-1)=1? Alright, let's yet again define a new number i^2 = -1 such that now, we can also take square roots of our newly acquired negative friends. Lets represent these new numbers as being orthogonal to the numbers we previously know, since it's basically like you're representing two different types of quantities (those that square to positive and those that square to negative). We now acquire
>....i....
>-1 0 1
>...-i....
and we are at what you now already know. So really, if you are comfortable with us expanding positive numbers to the negative numbers, you should feel comfortable expanding the real valued squares to the negative valued squares. Turns out this expansion has some really cool and useful properties, which is why you need to know about them.

So does that mean we don't have to hear liberals complain about climate change anymore since it can't be helped now?

fear mongering, the problem with humanity is global warming it's pollution. We're being too wasteful and fucking up our land and water. That's something that's going to affect us much more than having warmer weather.

sadly not the happening we're waiting for.

Specialize in industrial and municipal water solutions, love it because it's water how can you hate it and I am also good at it.

Computer Science because I get to be in control, use my creativity, and I generally don't have to deal with the irrational apes that inhabit this planet and their social games.

Majoring in math. I love math because it is comfy, I am good at it and presents a lot of opportunities for my future.

They also call me 'the mathematician' at my job and that's also cool.
