Space. The final frontier.

Why do most people stand against it? It makes no sense.
If you are a money grabbing kike or a hippy environmentalist, space is the answer to everyone's problems.
Resources a plenty and room for everyone. Business opportunities the likes of which have never been seen since the dawn of humanity.
Guaranteed racial survival by no longer being a one-planet species.

Yet most people stand against it, citing problems that going to space would fix.

*******

Let's discuss space and how politics and economics may change out there.

Most of them won't make it to space since beliefs+retardation=they stay on earth while we colonize the universe.
But there is also the fact that in space there is a lot of room. Enough for there to be entire solar systems dedicated to allah and no one would care because there are trillions more to hang out in.

Freedom.

Space and its opportunities imply absolute freedom. From resources and people. Especially in the long run.

>>69467361
actually I'm more afraid of space encouraging totalitarianism. Any colony in Mars / the orbit would need to follow to the finest detail a very strict set of rules for the entire community to survive because of the dangers involved. If the discovery of America proliferated the enlightenment because it was a free frontier which was easy for anyone to survive on by natural means, space could proliferate the opposite, a Hillary-like sense of social coordination.

That is, unless someone finds a way to live on Mars / Asteroids / wherever freely, use the atmosphere and soil there to produce his own independent life support, and perhaps even find a way to generate income. Only then will space be a free place.

The cost of doing stuff in space is too high yes, but there are tons of useful resources up there. The moon for example has these particles on it's surface that can be an amazing source of energy. It gets them from the sun.

Asteroids can be used for fuel stations, as they carry water which can be turned into fuel. They also have precious finite metals that we will definitely need for our technological advancements.

Colonies on other planets allow for more survivability of humans and other species, should earth ever become doomed.

Using current tech we can reach Mars, Venus, the moon and the asteroid belt comfortably (or at least about the same time length as great transoceanic expeditions in the past). Mars- for land, the moon for helium and habitat, Venus for habitat in it's atmosphere, asteroid belt for mining resources.

We can also build pretty much unlimited living space in orbit around planets with artificial settlements, made from iron etc. mined from Mars or asteroids.

With current tech. Literally nothing is stopping even the tiniest form of space colonisation but laziness.

For now the problem is escaping our own gravity well in a cost effective and safe manner. When that is solved then you'll see expansion. For now it's purely sending sensors into space.

The moon should have a significant presence in the form of autonomous bots and maybe a light human footprint as well to develop technologies and infrastructure, as well as further our understanding of the universe we live in.

It shouldn't have to be cost effective. The more you invest into it without expecting immediate return the sooner you will make your investment seem irrelevant due to the virtually infinite supply of resources made available.

But people only see the initial costs and recoil in fear. Not realizing just how economically sound it is, even if you go by conventional economic dogma.

>Literally nothing is stopping even the tiniest form of space colonisation but laziness.
Except the collosal amount of money it would take.
It will be decades of funneling money into that space program before you even begin to see it's benefits.
With current tech, it takes 7 months to reach Mars.
Basically you need 14 months worth of food, water and air, just to get there and return.
Plus you need to carry your building materials, and food, water and air for all the time it will take to build.
The cost is exorbitant.
And who will finance it? No government in the world in this moment has trillions of dollars to just bet into the space for shit, giggles and e-penis.

First of all you can make it profitable by starting with things with shorter return times, e.g. helium mines on the moon- quick and easy to get to but will aid space travel technology a shitload.

>7 months to get to Mars
Again, not that bad, considering that's how long some voyages in the ocean took. Anyway, in terms of food supply- all that is required is that a small camp is set up in Mars and they test out crop growing, water purification technology on it. They could store a massive food/water/spare parts supply in orbit and drop it off by delivery capsules without requiring expensive landing. That will lay the foundations for even bigger settlements.
>>
>>69475104
It's not that expensive m8. It would take one decade tops. Especially since most of the tech exists on paper since the 70s.
>no government has the money to invest in space
But they have enough to bail out useless banks, to spend on secret programs to spy on you, to wave their dick in the form of largest missile and deadliest armament, to slap around shitty parts of the world and bribe governments into collapsing in civil war.
I'd understand if it was used to make our lives better and make infrastructure modern and ultra efficient, putting the welfare of the individual first, but we aren't.

But you are right. Space isn't worth it. It's not like there is anything useful up there

No current technology is good enough to even realistically get 1 person alone out of the solar system and to the nearest star before he/she dies. Let alone getting them back. So that leaves us to our own Solar system. Every planet apart from ours is inhospitable to varying degrees of danger, with Mars being the most friendly. That's with a constant barrage of radiation from the sun and the average -60 surface temperature. Unless we make some big progress then we should just stay here and focus on using the tech to make life here better

Going outside the solar system is not ever a priority in the near future. There is no point attacking that idea.

>Every planet apart from ours is inhospitable to varying degrees of danger
There are many ways those dangers can be overcome, you're a mechanical enginner after all.

Also, you are forgetting the many others aspect of space colonisation
>moon
>asteroid mining
>on-orbit settlements
>>
>>69480321
When people fantasize about space travel they talk about getting out of the solar system, so i was just addressing that. The amount of energy needed for 1 person to reach the nearest star in a realistic time frame is roughly 1 year's full power usage of Earth. Which would take up a lot of room on a ship.

Expensive and more importantly heavy ways to overcome those dangers would have to be used.

The main problem I have with space colonisation, is that space isn't a friendly place and neither are all the other planets. We've been gifted a pretty decent one here and there isn't really anything to be gained from colonisation apart from being able to say that we've done it.

Mars/Moon colonisation is a pipe dream as things currently stand and I doubt we'll see it happen in our lifetimes. We might see people go to visit them though so that's cool


>>69480315

Privatized space ops are gonna be the spearhead. SpaceX will probably be the ones leading the first space expedition.

Now, if Trump gets elected, and we get a Russo-American alliance, we can chop our deadlines in half. All that brainpower, raw material, and energy, all focused on one thing.

Eh, it's looking pretty grim right now but we can still turn this around. More important than the technological angle is the cultural one. We have just stopped caring about things that actually matter in the long run and started using our resources to try and integrate barbarians into our societies. Image how far space exploration could be if all the money american niggers get as welfare went to NASA instead.

What the fuck kind of ivory tower are you living in that the planet eventually dying is an immediate concern to worry about? In all likelihood our species won't even be around at that point, much less around in any recognizable form.

No we don't, we have to borrow money to meet our worldly obligations, much less spending it on recreational space exploration done for shits and giggles.

Remember to read slowly and thoroughly. Sound out all the words if you have to :^)

I don't think it's an immediate problem, just that it is an inevitable certainty and will need to be addressed eventually. Also I'm very selfish and want it to be taken care of before I die so I can reap the benefits, and recreational values, of space travel.

To everyone saying MUH MONEY NEED TO GO TO NIGGERLAND
Just watch the fucking "Empire of dust" documentary
You could give them fucking billions of dollars, tons of food and raw material and those niggers would still fuck everything up.
They literally live on diamond mines, have fertile lands and yet they can't fucking figure out how to use it.

I'm glad SpaceX is working hard toward populating mars. I know few people will get there while I'm alive so I'll probably stay in my shithole all my life, but the human race will be saved from ourselves.
And with a little luck, there will be no niggers/shitskin on mars when we all kill ourselves on Earth.

Because just like solar and all the other green energy solutions it is not cost efficient. Do you really think that energy companies want to spend billions of dollars on discovery and exploitation every year over making and installing solar panels?

You bet that when the technology becomes better and comes down in price more people will be investing in space/solar/whatever.

Until then I'll keep enjoying my nice paychecks.

This. The greatest cost for a space mission is actually the development and manteinance of vectors and capsules.

Rail cannons (like muh Gundam or Tekkaman). That's always been a fantasy of mine. Space elevators are a cool concept but just aren't very exciting. They would also take huge amounts of natural resources.

No, the projected lifetime of a species suggests that we as a species will never have to deal with that shit. Whatever the hell is living on this planet (probably nothing) in 5-7 billion years will.

As for the benefits of space travel, stop staring wide-eyed as CGI renderings of moon colonies and think about this rationally. We're having trouble selling our petroleum in this country because it's very slightly harder to refine than that of our competitors, and your plan is to try and mine resources in space? If it were cost-effective, we would be doing it right now.

Because all of those institutions can make an argument that they're more useful than collecting space rocks and dick waving with the Soviet Union in the 1960's.

It wasn't until a voyage across the sea was a month that we felt comfortable going to America. Until the technology to get us places becomes fast enough and cheap enough that a trip to Mars is maybe a two or three week voyage, it all will be too long for most people.

There are some interesting and less costly space elevator concepts in development.

For example, a space elevator that doesn't get directly into orbit but acts as a runway for single-stage SSTOs
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-08/17/thothx-tower-space-elevator
>>
>>69477824
Once we can build shit in orbit we'll be able to colonize other planets.
We'll only need rockets to send people in orbit, not hardware or satellites.
For that, we'll need to develop technologies to mine asteroids and we far from that.
>>
>>69465959
What business opportunities? There are no markets in space.
What resources? It costs more to get them to Earth than they'd get for selling them.

Do some research.
No resources would be 'rare' if we could mine some asteroids. It'll cost a lot to develop but we'll eventually do it one day. Better now than later.

Another possibility is grabbing four massive spools, putting them in a mars-sun lagrange, and make it spin while electrifying it. The solar win wake should contain Mars if you make the spoons big enough and pass enough electricity through it.

Your trolling aside.

Exploring the deep sea could be used as the testing ground for spacebound concepts and equipment.

I mean. It'll allow for some crazy stress tests, I understand you'd be dealing with the complete opposite in regards to pressure and what not, but if it makes it in the deep sea it's more than ready to deal with space.
As you mentionned life support.
Also could be used to test equipment that gets dropped planetside, like drones and probes. Some planets have some insane pressure.

>>
>>69465959

but in all seriousness, how can we be certain that outer space is real? As in, the way it is depicted by Hollywood or observed by NASA?


What if space is something completely different? What if space is some sort of inter-dimensional thing in the sky, like a never ending magic bag that just keeps on expanding as you travel into it instead of Earth as a remote object in a large environment?


TL;DR maybe the reason why space exploration/ human colonization is because it is impossible because the way the media portrays space exploration is not at all how it works but it is the easiest way to try and explain it to humanity/control the narrative about "whats up there"
>>
>>69495228

There are risks for humans. Supernova particles are constantly breaking apart astronauts DNA whih causes all kinds of diseases.
As far as I know they are working on self replicating robots that will mine asteroids.
