  • Out in space, it'll unironically be exponentially cheaper both financially and in terms of he environmental damage caused by surface mining as the decade goes on. We actually could get a lot of material to make mirrors to bounce sunlight around from lunar regolith, and where you have mirrors and a liquid to heat up, like water, you have a solar thermal generator, and up in space, that kind of a generator can provide endless amounts of power.

    I feel it'd be a better investment than nuclear and all of its political problems.

  • I don't think I buy it. Like, there is a lot of uranium around the world, but most of it is prohibitively expensive to mine, the mining itself is extremely destructive, Australia has the largest uranium reserves but most of the rest is in the hands of authoritarian fuckwits like China and Russia, society's collapsing into wars and suffering climate catastrophes around the world so the safety of nuclear plants is increasingly in doubt, it takes decades to build them...

    Honestly, if we're gonna spend decades on clean energy megaprojects, wouldn't it be better to go with something like a space solar power station which is a lot safer and the rectennas on the surface a lot easier to fix and replace?

  • I sometimes wonder if, when aliens eventually find us, they'll read shit like this and take it literally. Will we forever be known as space cannibals? Space orks, perhaps?

    I agree with you though. I am told to eat heart meat, you have to boil it for a long time to get it nice and tender and eat it with a strong sauce to counteract the blandness. I'd eat it with a steak sauce, perhaps boil some carrots and potatoes in with it. Boil it in a nice pot of rich asshole stock. AAPL flavored, perhaps

  • Who helped India with Chandrayaan-3 then? Because the most the ESA and NASA have been doing for them is a quid pro quo type of program where they help each other track each other's probes. India built their shit on their own. NASA needed Europe to help build the JWST, not just help launch it, and even then it was way behind schedule and over budget. India launched and landed their probe on a budget smaller than the movie Interstellar, so who's really ahead in the space game here?

  • After like what, 50 years of sitting around with ther thumbs up their asses? And we still need a private company to send people to the space station we helped build? Nah, fuck that. I concede NASA has finally got off its ass to do actual work the past few years, but its cowardice has led us to disaster. We are decades behind where we should be. We should have had people on Mars in the 80's and 90's and should be trying to go to Titan by now.

  • Grow the fuck up and accept the fact you're not wanted. Instance admins are allowed to associate with who they want. You are not owed anyone else's time and attention simply because you exist.

    Also, has anybody reported this guy yet?

  • But we in the U.S. are regressing. We don't even have a fucking Moon rover, but India now does and China has one on the far side of the Moon. Sure, we have SpaceX, but Elon Musk is a fucking twit, and the Starship he's building is having problems.

    Meanwhile India is the tortoise beating the three hares and it's pretty obvious watching it.

  • Reporting != report abuse.

    Their reporting is legitimate because the tankies actually are concern trolling, brigading and causing problems.

    But we both know you won't admit that and will argue the point into the ground because you, yourself are concern trolling. Just how the game is played.
