Your ship on the ocean analogy is all within the context of life on the Earth.
Which is within the context of life in the Solar System, which is within the context of life in the Milky Way Galaxy, which is within context of life within the Universe. Plenty of things on Earth can kill us, plenty of things within the Solar System can kill us, quite a few things within the Milky Way Galaxy can kill us, and very many nasty things within the Universe can kill us. Best to be as prepared as possible.
This fantasy
about our future in space, or on some insane mission to Mars is unrealistic, and it will mean certain death for any future astronauts ,foolish enough to accept any such mission.
Not if we install adequate shielding (not the Star Trek stuff) and provide sufficient nutrition, living space, exercise equipment, mental stimuli, and entertainment. Which is something that can be done now or within a decade of dedicated work to develope the system to a functional point.
We as humans on Earth should be concerned about the welfare of our fellow Earth brothers and sisters.
No, I will not be drawn in to support some "American" just because their mother snuck into this country so she could squeeze out her anchor baby and I will certainly not be drawn in to support the innumerable heathen savages of the rest of the world. Their very birthrates make them a threat to me and more broadly the survival of the Human species. Without decades of well funded work in space agriculture; Humans will eventually reach a point beyond which the Earth can not be made to yield any more food without a change of the modern Human species ( I refer you to "Fleet of Worlds" by Larry Niven and Edward M. Lerner c.2007) into a completely unified global Herd/Swarm Species. At this point all Humans will be reduced to a starvation diet and we shall utterly collapse. Untapped or Appropriated lebensraum has been the only thing staving off Malthusian Catastrophee for the last few centuries and the only place we can turn to now is the cosmos.
Not on some wastefull insaine mission to space, or Mars.
Refer to the above. Also, I suggest you start a serious investigation on the number of fields impacted by Human efforts in space.
There is no
way that a dead lifeless Martian world would support Human life.The Martian surface has
to much uv and Gamma radiation to support any prolonged human presence.It is also
much to cold for Humans to live there.What you people are suggesting is pure unadulterated insanity!.
It was insanity to fly! Mars is not to be inhabitted by Humans now, but possibly in a few centuries or a millenia. Work has to begin now though so that we can set up the plan to make it habittable. We will have to start smashing ice comets and asteroids into the place to get Mars kick started but it can be done!
Please now direct your posts to solving hunger , and thirst right here on the planet Earth.
Cut off all food and medical shipments to Africa, begin a depopulation pattern nuclear bombardment of the Orient and India. Bring fission powered desalinization plants online in Australian coastal cities and flood the outback. Ethnically cleanse and colonize southern Africa (refer to Colonization of North America), repeat Australian desal. project. Colonize the Orient and India when radiation at safe levels.
Not Mars or Jupiter! .Stop this selfish insaine,money wasting, space fetish fantasy.Please grown
men of your age must grow up!?
I am selfish of my blood line's destiny and jealous of my personal fortune. Use your brain.
That planet was destroyed by us.
Silence Pakled. A planetoid would not form betwixt the pull of the Sun and Inner Planets and the pull of the Outer Giants.
It was a planet full of evil women that killed every male being that came across it. There was no negotiating with it. Most of them are here reborn in this life.
Jackass. Why not set up a freaking quarantine? I am almost inclined to bring a law suit against you for emotional and economical hardship and grief due to the creation of termigants on this planet!
The only retards are on this planet.
Oh I see the brilliance of the plan, they must have found all 900 of you retards and sent you here, knowing you would be stranded. Then they say they will come for you in 11 years but never intend to.
They think they know something but do not, they only know what they see on tv.
Don't forget the internets, books, and finger paintings.
The plan is to come back and get us. That is why they will be here soon.
Keep saying that. No one likes you and that is why you 900 got your ass sent here so you would be stranded and not bother anyone else in the 10 galaxies.
a newbie like me who I know from another board told me ...women weren't welcome on the science boards
Utter horse shit.
a woman would raise the iq of the board too much for you bunch of neanderthals to have any say.
By all means, bring it on.
