Mars

I think it's been fairly obvious we're ****ed for a long time, saving the world just isn't profitable. That said I think we'll have a fight first and use those weapons we've been making, just so we can beat nature to the punch.

 

The Gulf Stream is the major concern. If that destabilises then we are all ****ed. If you haven't watched The Day After Tomorrow which came out in 2005ish, it's incredible to think that nothing has been done 16 years later.

 

Aye it's long time to wait for a sequel.

 

Sat nav is based on general relativity

 

Well, they use quasars iirc, so kinda.

 

Used to love going quasar.

Pew pew

 

paintball is more fun, did it in an old mental hospital near epsom iirc, there was about 160 people, that was ****ing awesome 10x better than any other type of paintball or quasar I've done. smoke grenades going off, people hiding in the morgue where they stored the bodies, getting down the corridors was like the opening scene of Star wars, definitely made me not want to be in a war.
I caused a few tears that day

 

Your supposed to shoot them in the body not the crown jewels

 

Don't let Aber see that, he'll claim it's how they faked the moon landing.

 

Sure I read somewhere where they are a year away from putting those robots to tasks. Boring repetitive jobs, although I thought we already had robots that do that, just not humanoids.

 

Yeh I think that's the real challenge, although I saw one on QI once with Stephen Fry iirc. Basic tasks only though.

 

This was it...

That was 10 years ago.

Watch the robot take the step and then run. We take that **** for granted but it must be a ball ache to design and programme that.

 

I'm all for space exploration and the eventual colonization of Mars.

That said...no matter how much we **** up the earth. It will always be more hospitable than Mars. We can let global warming go rampant. We can wage nuclear war. We can pollute the oceans with plastic.

It will still be more hospitable than Mars. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't go to Mars. It is humanities purpose in the universe to fill the empty barren space with cats. Sure, we have to test out habitation on Mars with people first before we can colonize mars with cats... But if felines are going to spread across the universe they are going to need out help and it all starts with us going to Mars.

They keep sending more things up there, but there's **** all there.

You can see from that using a telescope.

 

You didn't read it did you.

They are looking for water,nooo, not rivers and lakes! The south pole of the moon is most of the time constantly in the shadows, so they are looking for water vapor and other resources which they will map out.

I was reading an article the other day, it more or less mapped out the future of humanity on Earth, and it is not good. So they need to do this now to help the generations of the future to find a new place to live.

We've got an advantage the dinosaurs never had, and that's the ability to seek out and explore to survive.
