Interstellar spaceflight seems out of our reach. Mars colonization is impossible due to its low gravity... and rotating spacestations really are just a last ressort because people actually want wide open plains for hunting ane living.
That leaves only one option of a meaningful space stuff: to cool down Venus, have the CO2 liquify or fall out as CO2 snow and then cover it up at the poles and heat the planet up again.
OR just build a floating city up where the temperature is cosy, the wind is linear, the pressure is harmless and there's no acid rain
Chase Lee
3rd option. Spend resources send out emergency beacons. Our space program should resemble that of someone stranded on an island. It is the only rational choice. We need help.
Actually this idea is verified as what the human race will do in the future. Nostradamus predicted this.
Carson Allen
They want you to think the earth is round because that would mean there are limited resources. The earth is flat and there is unlimited resources, over the arctic wall is another society that wants us to fight over the limited land so only the strongest society comes out on top to join the ice wall society
Admiral Byrd, Antarctic Treaty, Nazi bases in Antarctictica, fucked up flight paths, Navy missile lasers staying level on water for over 100 miles, NASA fakery.
The sun and Moon are exactly the same size. Tides do not correspond to any model of gravity currently on the table. We only ever see one face of the moon. THERE IS NO SOUTHERN POLE STAR. THE STARS SWEEP ACROSS THE SKY. GOD IS REAL AND THE EARTH IS FLAT!!! SPREAD LOVE!!
wormhole accretion will make both space travel and terraforming irrelevant
Cooper Hughes
People like solid ground below their feet.
And what if no one answers because our Earth is like the Easter Islands, the only island in the world?
Cameron Rodriguez
Space is fake
Dylan Morris
Venus is beyond fucked it'd would a really long time and nobody wants to work his ass for something that will never happen in its own lifetime current society is to selfish, for that reason alone mars is a more viable choice
Wormholes aren’t real. Black holes lead nowhere, they are just mass that spikes into small space. It even isn’t a “singularity”, that is a misnomer. Due to Plank space the mass has a definite expansion which isn’t infinite.
Michael Howard
This world is shit and deserves worse than a massive ELE-sized celestial body collision.
Owen Lee
Globetards lmao
Nathan Edwards
>Not realizing the bulk of his “space knowledge” comes from science fiction. We’ve never done anything in space bro. Probably never will
We need to work our ass off. It’s the only thing that will unify us as a people and a non-degenerate race.
Blake Perry
>Telling the Allans that we are vulnerable and alone
Jose Baker
Space is some dangerous shit. You don't want to crash a bunch of asteroids into Mars to make it bigger, only to have it collide with Earth just a few decades later. I'd stick to asteroid mining
Alexander Long
>Archon Unobtaniumstein decrees there needs to be more diversity in our flying city >imported Muslim snackbar's in the buoyancy deck >city comes crashing down to the 400 degree surface Sounds like fun.
Joshua Bennett
Let’s start then, “bro”.
Ian Foster
No magnetosphere. No terraforming possible until a way to deflect solar radiation is devised at the planetary scale.
Josiah Smith
If no one answers it is no different than never reaching an inhabitable planet. But we played the smarter odds.
There are no aliens in space. Humanity is the first, and must spread.
Connor Adams
I guess a terraformed Venus can manage 10 million years with just losing a few percent of its atmosphere due to solar wind. And UV light is actually absorbed mostly by stratospheric ozone which builds up in an oxygen atmosphere by itself.
Christian Young
There's literally no point in leaving Earth and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a universal law that shits up anyone who tried to.
Jack Harris
Where do wanna start, hepcat? How about space elevators?
The chance we find an exoplanet that we can live on is high, The chance we can terraform Venus is very high, the chance we can find smart alieens is slim.
Zachary Parker
How come Aussies see the moon upside down? Why can't they see the big dipper?
>terraforming venus Think we could terraform a comet while we're at it? You fucking retards watch too much sci-fi.
Brayden Rivera
>the chance we can find smart aliens is slim Correction, the chance that we find smart aliens who don't immediately annihilate us is slim.
Isaiah Phillips
I don’t like space elevators, too fragile. I like the mass driver idea, much nicer and more stable. Ellesmere island would be perfect for several mass drivers.
Kayden Barnes
It the risk you take in a universe that has proven itself more violent than peaceful.
Liam Barnes
Underground moon base seems more likely, then asteroid mining, then maybe venus/mars as the resources needed would be tremendous to do anything long term on either. Either way it's a death sentence for any post Earth generations returning here...I wouldn't wish it on my descendants. I legit hope that there is some way to better understand and use gravity.
Eli Bennett
Smart aliens are likely not negroes.
Matthew Jones
I know your picture is full of shit because it has those people at like 1000 miles tall what the fuck we arent giants
Anthony Howard
What’s your problem with Venus terraforming concepts?
Noah Harris
What if an Aussie turns 360 degrees and walks, shouldn’t he see the other side of the Moon?
Eli Price
360 is a full circle. back where he started.
Robert Baker
That’s the exact same picture of the moon on both side... Way to stick your dick up your butt retard
The amount of electricity arcing across its surface, the surface temperature and pressure, the composition of the atmosphere. You'd have a better chance of terraforming Mars even though its magnetosphere is practically gone and so is any chance of it maintaining any semblance of atmospheric pressure friendly to humans.
Levi Lee
there is even a red square to help you out knuckledragger
Jackson Price
Yeah.. one of the copies of the exact same pic got flipped.. Your point?
Nolan Parker
Neither of you have even the slightest scrap of data on which to base your guesses.
Henry Lee
>Can't stop climate change to save ourselves >Terraform another fucking planet Sounds possible
Sebastian Rogers
the people who will be funding the first big push into space will be greedy penny pinchers, so naturally the main endeavor of early manned space exploration will be to harvest comets and asteroids for absurd amounts of resources that will make the gold rush look like child's play. the first space colony will probably be stationed near the asteroid belt.
Colton Young
Yes it is the same moon, so that is how they see it. Why not ask an Aussie to take a picture at the same time as yourself and email it to each other, then you can see for yourself.
Anthony Miller
>The amount of electricity arcing across its surface What electricity?
>the surface temperature and pressure Which is why I said Venus needs to be cooled down. A nice little 250 million km2 sunshade in space will do. At a few grams per m2, it is absolutelt doable.
>the composition of the atmosphere. That’s actually a perfect one, you can rain out the CO2 and have a mostly nitrogen atmosphere and convert any remaining CO2 and CO to oxygen through greenhouses and global seeding of plants.
>You'd have a better chance of terraforming Mars unfortunately Mars gravity is too low for humans to permanently dwell there over generations
>even though its magnetosphere is practically gone Exaclty as irrelevant as for Venus
>and so is any chance of it maintaining any semblance of atmospheric pressure friendly to humans. A magnetosphere may help with atmospheric drag over hundreds of millions of years. But do we really care about those long timeframes?
Oliver White
>What electricity? See? You don't even know.
Samuel Perez
>A magnetosphere may help with atmospheric drag over hundreds of millions of years. But do we really care about those long timeframes? The solar wind would blow away anything we pumped out at the surface, might as well piss in the wind.
Lucas Foster
You can’t terraform Venus retard
Brayden Allen
Why does interstellar travel seem out of reach? How much time did you spend working on it today?
Grayson Robinson
Top dude is in the US not the UK >Wow... y’all got anymore of that prooof?
This is what I am working on. All hands on deck this is our prime directive.
Jaxson Bennett
we haven't even built any large scale colonies in the sky, underwater or anything even in Antarctica yet. We're barely making man-made islands in the oceans. You think we're going to colonize and terraform another planet? It's literally hundreds/thousands of years away in terms of technology. We can't even cure basic illnesses. I think people underestimate how primitive we actually are. If you think we will be in space doing fun stuff like this anytime soon you're delusional.
Maybe you’re right maybe we should pursue many of the things you just said.
Nathan Cook
Of course we can stop climate change, but we don’t want to. We could stop climate change by simply planting trees at a cost of a few billion a year. But there is no interest in actual solutions.
Terraforming is a very slow process, on the scale of geological ages slow. best to go with 's route
>"In about 40,000 years, it and Voyager 2 will each come to within about 1.8 light-years of two separate stars: Voyager 1 will have approached star Gliese 445, located in the constellation Camelopardalis; and Voyager 2 will have approached star Ross 248, located in the constellation of Andromeda." We'll be balls deep in the Warhammer 40K timeline before it comes near any other star and that is using the term near liberally.
Jackson Wilson
Surely even a flat-earther is familiar with the concept of a northern hemisphere and a southern hemisphere?
Elijah Robinson
People in australia shouldnt see the exact same moon but upside-down retard. They should have an ever so slightly different perspective. They should see more of the "under side" and we more of the top
Ayden James
What electricity?
Colton Bennett
The solar winf hasn’t blown away the 90 bar Venutian atmosphere in 5 billion years. Why should it start to do so when it is 2-3bar?
Mason Wilson
population reduction is the unspoken evil needed.
Colton Foster
Terraforming Venus is impossible, and even if it were, is too close to the sun. The best you could do is turn it into some sort of forge-industrial world.
Wyatt Allen
It is out of reach because of the distances we need to travel, the energy requirements, potential for serious damage from micrometeroite collisions at high speeds etc.
Sebastian Wright
Ok... but for an internet one picture diagram I think it explains the concept pretty clearly. Not sure what your point is.
Joseph Mitchell
We cannot cure the common cold as there is no cure, Nothing prevents us from putting sun shades into space between Venus and the Sun.
Brandon Lewis
>concept Nice use of words
Jack Russell
My point was just to be a confrontational ass, I had nothing constructive to say. But actually thats fascinating I never thought about how the moon would appear flipped.
Nathaniel Myers
>so is any chance of it maintaining any semblance of atmospheric pressure friendly to humans. I hate it when people say this shit, when they say that the solar wind has and will strip its atmosphere away they mean over millions of years, if we had the technology to give it an Earth like atmosphere right now it would be depleted in a few million years, not in a time-span we really care about
Chase Powell
/this/
Tyler Hill
This is what I’ve been looking at lately: this Marco Pereira Guy seems interesting
Just dump a few trillion tons of cyanobacteria. They will make O2
Hunter Turner
Venus still has a functioning magnetosphere to prevent that, Mars doesn't. >what electricity? I've already given you more of a hint than I was given when I discovered what's really going on at ground level on Venus.
Nathan Sullivan
>Nasa sends a solid gold record into deep space with instructions how to invade us.. I was being a tad sarcastic.. I’m not sure how that’s not the stupidest thing in the history of mankind, if they really did it.
The surface of Mars is actively being sterilized by the sun. I hope you have some hearty bacteria that can eat nothing and magically poop out atmosphere.
Matthew Jenkins
Unlike Earth, Venus lacks a magnetic field. Its ionosphere separates the atmosphere from outer space and the solar wind.
As you are wrong on all things, I won’t ask you again about the ludicruous claim of magic electricity.
Michael Allen
>X and Y seem hard >so lets do Z which is harder and on a timescale in which X and Y will easily become feasible
Adam Foster
wishful thinking seriously I don't know if people take in account how big shit is and how long it would take, maybe you can paraterraform it(dome it over) and create atmospheric sections but full on Spore terraforming would take practically as long as pulling it apart for dyson parts it's a golden dickpic user, for the sexy blue aliens that exist out there, you gotta have faith!
William Phillips
>cyanobacteria. They will make CO2 Or trillions of tons of cyanobacteria corpses
x and y are impossible, so let’s do z because it works and we’ll get a freaking second planet from it
Ayden Thompson
>we cant terraform earth he thinks we are going to terraform another planet
Jordan Mitchell
>x and y are impossible False.
Liam Barnes
Terraforming any planet in our solar system is science fiction, all terrestrial planets in our solar system are tectonically dead, no energy being emitted from the planet's cores. You could dump trillions of dollars worth of work into these planets, it's just a waste and will leave the atmosphere.
Camden Morgan
Venus is bad for terraforming. 400 Celsius means it's way too hot, and the acidic athmosphere guarantees there won't be any long-term colonies on the surface. Both Mars and Europa are better candidates.
Luke Green
Why can’t we terraform Earth?
Blake Young
>Photoshop pic of earth >Photoshop pic of Venus.
Charles Young
In space, no one can hear you fart.
Nolan Cook
venus is a gas giant. good luck with that.
Jordan Fisher
What if we take Mercury and crash it into Mars?
Elijah White
Venus is rocky.
Joseph Thomas
haha like uranus haha XD
Henry Rogers
Then you end up with a serious dent in Mars.
Josiah Ross
you're a gas giant
John Hernandez
It is also interesting about how Northern hemi folk do not see southern hemi folk's constellations and vice versa. Even though it may look like the big dipper on their flag, I do not think it is.
Evan Nguyen
HAHAHHAHAHH and people say germans dont have humor
