"All civilizations become either spacefaring or extinct." -CARL SAGAN, Pale Blue Dot
Welcome to /etm/. This is a place on Yas Forums to discuss everything space related(with a concentration on Mars). I normally post the general once a week every saturday between 8pm to 10pm UK time.
If you are new here, these videos will get you in the mood for some discussion: >What Would A Million Person Mars Colony Look Like? youtube.com/watch?v=JaimO7nvzzQ
Well la-de-dah, Ensign Cutiepie. Those really are the only options. Single-planet technical species simply don't survive their Great Filter events. Greets et salve.
What's the worst that could happen if we colonized Mars?
Wyatt Nelson
Hullo. Nice tank.
Thomas Jenkins
Elon basically said it's likely we will not get to Mars in our lifetimes.
Samuel Jenkins
If Starship does not get off the ground, that is. Because he is the only one giving a fuck, other companies are satisfied just farming congress money, oldspace style.
Christian Anderson
humans cannot survive being outside the earth. it's a pipe dream that technology cannot fix for at least 1000 years.
Aaron Nelson
very likely to be this decade
Matthew Cox
>What's the worst that could happen if we colonized Mars? Worst? Lots of possibilities but here are a few. >it's simply not worth it and we shrink back to Earth never to leave again >Mars Has AIDS9001 and it makes it back to Earth >Mars has owners already and they're repeated Fuck Offs (see Pic) weren't heeded >long term, Mars colonists genocide Earth, making Mars the sole human world, then die out in a cataclysm That's complete bullshit. Space settlement is purely a matter of financing and industrial output right now.
Yeah, but he's one of those retards who will no doubt go off on a tangent about MUH RADIATION MUH VAN ALLEN BELT. Wait and see. Not like we can't shield for radiation or anything.
Nicholas Hughes
I hate retards like you. Read the studies on the effects of those astronauts in low orbit. In addition to the detrimental effects of space on biology we do not have the technology to travel between the stars.
Eli Martinez
Starship SN4 cryo tests incoming. Will it be the first SN to fly? 5 is looking slick too
China announced its name for Mars mission - Tianwen-1, it will consist of the orbiter, lander, and rover. Launch this summer. Landing in the Utopia Planitia next year.
>muh radiations Live under a 1m water shield. Better than Earth's surface for radiation levels, especially cosmic rays. This works basically anywhere since it's just an engineering consideration and humans and our crops need water.
Jace Rogers
>travel between the stars Yeah, we're going to Mars, not fucking Alpha Centauri. Not yet, anyways. Not until we have generation ships with torch drives.
Leo Young
>Landing in the Utopia Planitia next year. More like landing in the Pacific somewhere.
If it goes well looks like we will see some hop tests
