What you're looking for is Project Orion:

>Elon will send someone up there
You have no idea how fantastically difficult this is.
You need to build a large ship at least 300m X 200m x 200m.
Give it some massive steal walls to protect from the radiation.

Look we are not sling shooting some douchebags in a aluminum peace of crap to the moon here! Where you can simply give them diapers to shit into on the travel.

Bill is a complete faggot however Elon is a scam artists who extracts money from governments and investors. If he manages to land humans on Mars and bring them back ALIVE I eat a newspaper.

I don't see this happening in my lifetime.
And the earth is getting more fucked up politically.
I don't see any future other then a new dark age brought to us by our Muslim overlords and sponsored by fagots who bring Muslims into western countries in hordes.

This is what is understood under fixing our problems on earth first because even if this is managed it will be token victory before the long Muslim night.

The next debating points will be
>Space! How can I pray 5 times a day into the direction of Mecca if the position of the Earth changes so drastically!
>HERESY!
You look into the astronauts and praying 5 times a day into the direction of mecca.

Perhaps the Great Filter, and the explanation for why we see no evidence of life outside of our Solar System is due to the drive of space exploration itself. Not even discussing FTL starships like Alcubierre Drive's or wormholes for the moment. Sticking only to things that we can actually build right now, such as nuclear pulse propulsion. Or, essentially farting thermonuclear bombs in the range of megatons out the ass of a spacecraft and riding the blast wave to accelerate. These types of spacecraft could potentially accelerate to 80-90% the speed of light. And it wouldn't even take that long to do it. Only a few months.

With that said. What is stopping someone from piloting one of these spacecraft implementing PNP at 0.9c right into planet Earth? Is this the true filter that, if passed, unlocks the Universe to a species while decimating those who do not pass?
