I've always imagined that the first people to leave earth to form colonies would be religious sects like the people aboard the Mayflower.

I for see Mormon colonies and maybe a few colonies created by various sects of Islam like the Kurds.

Nah. Earth is sacred and centre of universe. If we had different religions then they would. But the ones we have are all about sacred places here. Wrong religions, sadly.

Infact, the next improvements in space travel will be made by private companies with the intent of mining asteroids, it was already proven alot of them are full of precious minerals.

For now the governaments aren't interested in exploring space, and if you are wondering why nasa went to the moon to begin with it's because it was a huge dick contest between super powers "look guys we can send missiles in space and land on the moon, you aren't safe from our nuclear devices".

The pale "Pahrump Hills" outcrop surrounds the rover, and the upper portion of Mount Sharp is visible on the horizon. Darker ground at upper right and lower left holds ripples of wind-blown sand and dust.

Everything about earth, the moon, earths orbit, the moon's pull on the earth, the moon reflecting sunlight at night, earths axis and rotation, our distance from our sun and the output of energy from our sun; all of that combined is what makes life possible on earth.

it's a long and specific recipe, especially since Earth and The Moon used to be one planetary body in the solar system billions of years ago until it smashed into another planet that used to exist.

maybe theres other ways to get life, but we certainly havent found it.

Nope. Not unless your definition of "soon" includes the next century or so.

Space stations are way off because the effect of microgravity on the human body is utterly catastrophic, and we simply can't survive out there for long.

Planetary colonization is way off because, guess what: Other planets are uninhabitable by human standards. The amount of work we would have to do to set up even a temporary settlement on any other planet would be completely infeasible, let alone a permanent colony.

samefag here.

The second book in the 'main' trilogy primarily covers one group chasing another group/person to a different system while both groups use intertial dampeners to increase acceleration and it captures the effects that this has on the ship, crews, etc.

I never thought a book like this would become one of my favorite singular books of all time. In the universe, it's suggested that past civilizations had developed FTL travel but wiped themselves out of existence doing so.

What makes a well designed spaceship in vidya?

Does it have to be aerodynamic?

Can it be blocky or oval shaped?

We already have CNT stuff, and its all awesome. Some company in Toronto makes tailored suits with a layer of that stuff in it, which lets it stop pretty much any handgun round up to .38 magnum.

FTL stuff might be possible, but we probably shouldn't use it. Just communicating faster then light can lead to all sorts of brainfuck stuff, like reversals of causality, which is like some serious Fate/Stay Night tier shit.

What jobs would you do when/if we become a space-faring race?

God fucking damnit I wanna be a space trucker.
I fucking would love that job.

A comfy small living quarters with nice furniture, set the coordinates and soar.

It would be so beautiful. I fucking hate not being born in time to be a space trucker. Just kill me now.

The Ancients had some sweet ships, but the human ones were also pretty cool

I dont know why we haven't made weaponized spacecraft yet. The US army's drone fetish should have pushed them to make some kind of attack satellite by now. Maybe something that drops tungsten telephone poles onto terrorism from orbit, blowing up everything in a two mile radius. Or maybe just a bunch of suicide satellites that can be de-orbited and slammed into terrorism bases.

Resource and/or labor intensive. Which means that if we had the will to do it, we could start terraforming Mars this century.

Any upcoming space vidya worth being hype for? None of you fuckers better mention Start Citizen.
