Not Ready

[Chad Hamilton]

I have tried to give my new tech to SpaceX with no reply. That's ok. As I see how humans are here on our own planet, we have no right to go into space. I could get us anywhere in less than the 10th of the time it would take us to get where we want to go. But it is my belief that we as a people are not ready. It is a shame, together we could have made history beyond what anyone though was possible.

That is a rather bold claim. Can you share anything to confirm such an impressive capability?

"A population is a group of individuals of the same species that share the same area. ... Long-term survival of a species is based on obtaining resources that are limited, so that individuals can live and reproduce. "

Anyone with half a brain can work out that total resources divided by total population = wealth per capita.

Population increases - standard of living decreases.

So, folks, where are we headed?

Only those with an IQ > 0 should reply.

Well, what if we colonize another planet? That must increase the standard of living.

"Well, what if we colonize another planet? That must increase the standard of living."

Assuming the loot gets divided equally???

 

[dfjchem721]

Colonizing another planet is not going to help with the per capita. What we need is more equitable pay for those who deserve it, and more rational taxation and budgetary constraints by governments

Colonizing another planet will only lead to massive budget deficits and wealthy tech companies, while most everybody else gets, well, you know what they get......

 

[IG2007]

Well, no dfjchem. No, if we take a portion of our population to Mars.

 

[IG2007]

Like, we can have a Mars Real Estate!

 

[Catastrophe]

Why don't we finish terraforming Earth first? Or what is the word? terrafinishing? that might have other connotations? terracompleting? sounds a bit less final?

Unless, of course, we are in imminent asteroidal danger.
Few billion years yet before the Sun gets stroppy!

Better still, why not limit the population growth?

 

[dfjchem721]

Limiting population growth by design is the ultimate solution, and probably the last one that will play out.

Perhaps another more problematic virus will do that for us. If not, we will depopulate ourselves sooner or later.

Time will tell........

Awww that nice slenderella woman. Never gives me likes!

Awww that awful slenderella woman. Never gives me likes!

Shhhhh that seems to have worked. Thanks Miss I didn't mean to be rude about you. Have a good day - is it Uganda where you live?

 

[dfjchem721]

..... if we take a portion of our population to Mars.

Wouldn't you have to take billions to Mars?

Maybe we can build a conveyor belt to get them all there without excessive cost. But I simply don't see how that would work.

Maybe Chad's space tech is the answer.

 

[Catastrophe]

Ummmm conveyor belt? Sounds a bit DOA.

Oh! Are we back to population control?

 

[Catastrophe]

Not to get too far off topic . . . . . . . . .

I have to say I really don't understand post '1

 

[dfjchem721]

That may be the point. To not understand!

After all, he has not returned to explain anything, or complain about all this gibberish. Well. some of it seems like gibberish......

 

[IG2007]

Well, I guess post 1 meant that the user has plans for high-speed rockets that can take us to Mars within 18 days rather than 180 days. Well, that's really impressive if the user has really got a blueprint for that kind of rocket.

 

[Catastrophe]

Yeah! But what happens when they get to Mars?

Oh! Oh! I see, but I don't think anyone wants that.
Best provide some facilities in advance, please.
