    Dyson Sphere thread

    As indicated by a condition proposed via Carl Sagan, people are at present sitting at ~73% of a Type I human progress. Yet, when we achieve that achievement in maybe a couple of hundred years (accepting we don't explode ourselves all the whileand sit all day at wxchat), the development of a...

    Lego SpaceX Falcon 9 Complete Set

    It's great that you were able to introduce children to your Lego hobby, it's useful for at least a brief exploration of space travel. I still can’t get my children off the phone cause of my wall work and transfer them to space toys, although I am a big fan of space and Lego) Wonderful models...

    Contact with other forms of life?

    I'm going to answer before this gets sidetracked into the 50th merry-go-round of ancient aliens crap. The probes that have been sent out during the last 20 years or so have found more evidence that oceans likely existed auto xloo on Venus and Mars in the past, before Mars froze, and Venus'...

    Time and space and speed

    This is true of non relativistic quantum mechanics, but not of relativity, either kind. In special relativity observers must compare physics using Lorentz transformations, and these mix time and space coordinates in linear transformations. So time can't easily be eliminated or downgraded in SR...

    Question Construction in orbit

    I was just curious about how I work with large machines in wall work. I know you can build space stations in orbit, but are there really big spaceships built that can be assembled from parts in orbit? It would be really cool to say, build something like 2001's Discovery in orbit with multiple...

    What was the most important Space Mission?

    For me, the most important space mission is the extraction of minerals and the development of technology. Because now, looking at what is happening in the world, it seems to me that we will not soon fly into space. We are not going for development but for degradation. And it would be cool to...

    Space Tourism

    I think that space tourism is a bad idea as we would spend allot of money on one trip when we could spend it on more useful purposes such as improving our plastic problem. I work for a motortrader, if you only knew how many cars there are in the world, that's how much garbage and scrap, and how...
