I do wonder if people realize how ridiculously tiny we are in comparison to the universe, and unless we somehow effectively unleash von neumann doom upon the universe, that we won't leave much of a legacy that would last more than a couple thousand years past our own exinction.

Generally speaking, we're going to act like the smartest motherfuckers on the block who deserve all these cool planets until some hyper intelligent species of gas-filled eye bags gets sick of our shit and decides to beam-collider our asses back to the stone age.

Also, I'm going to laugh when voyager gets discovered by some alien race and they end up just eating the gold disk like it was a cracker or something.

It actually wouldn't be terribly expensive to build a launch loop and begin construction or mining in space. The only "problem" is that launch loops need a lot of room and we'd just rather have Africa be a useless shit hole full of AIDS than put it to use advancing civilization.

No, the problem is that mining in space needs a whole lot more in the way of initial investment than ordinary mining on Earth. Nothing will get done until it's profitable to do so. We won't colonize space until it's absolutely necessary. It's human nature.

>> No.6041920

>>6041897

It would be profitable after a couple years once the initial investment paid off. A loop would cost $10 billion to build and that would be paid back in a year just by cutting launch costs. The manpower and equipment needed to maintain the loop and any mining endeavors likely wouldn't come close to that $10 billion, so you'd be seeing a profit after 2 or 3 years.

>> No.6041933

>>6041920
And no corporation is going to front 10 billion dollars for a launch loop when mining is easy and cheap here on earth. You make the money back on cheapened launches, that's true, but if you don't do those launches in the first place because you're just mining on earth you're not saving anything.

And governments, whose job it is to spend money that the private sector isn't willing to, won't do it because they're busy trying to make the world not suck as much in other regards, or in other countries they're trying to steal from their people.
