As space fantasies go, building huge space habitats by mining comets and asteroids is on the more grounded and realistic side, compared to things like terraforming and colonizing Mars.

assume 20m thick dirt need that much for farming, 1m^2=60ton, + whatever structure’s needed to keep it all in at 1Gee + shielding = 70ton

NYC land prices per m^2 =~$20,000
as per https://www.numbeo.com/property-investment/in/New-York
starship if we get lucky might be $200 a kilo,

70,000*$200=$14,000,000 per square meter of O’Neil cylinder, just launch costs
perhaps you could get away with less dirt but then you dont get as good a replica of earth conditions, cant farm apple trees in 3m of dirt.

Hope aint lost tho, we just need to use lofstrom loops, much cheaper, and perfectly doable with todays tech, about 50 billion dollar investment

There is literally nothing you could "mine" in space that would have a higher value than the fuel and equipment needed to obtain it.

True under current cost structures. The tricky question is if it is possible to advance in space mining tech to the point where it is economically viable and how much must be spent upfront to get to that point.

Are you retarded? It would be impractical no matter the case *unless* we were specifically dependent on it for infrastructure... which needless to say would be a hellish industrial revolution 2.0 type of scenario.

>> No.15938017

>>15937976
Nope. Not any market incentives to make s full scale one. $14 million per square meter is far to expensive.

Eventually market incentives will arise, but not within a good few thousands of years. Why? Because genetic decline means we’re returning to medieval conditions. Dysgenics; dumb people having more kids than smart people WILL result in the population getting dumber.


Why were we smart in the first place? Low complexity civilisations (e.g medieval Europe) are eugenic. Lots of child mortality, lots of dead poor people. Long horrible road of nature killing everybody, but slightly favouring the intelligent. Eventually complexity of civilisation rises with enough smart people around. Then it all starts again. Cyclical. Watch Edward Dutton.

Yes there is, you still think like an earther.
The value is huge compared to the cost of shipping any of that from the Earth.
Of course that implies we are already colonizing space, and it's a chicken egg problem.

Yeah bro, "colonize" a resourceless vacuum.
Why not colonize the bottom of the ocean first - it's closer and the land is completely uninhabited by men - where's that pioneer spirit now?

If you synthesize simple sugars with the formose cyclea like glucose and fructose and extract only the right isomers you have a pretty good carbon hydrate source. Maybe polymerize the sugars and you got your synthetic bread.
There are already diff rooms ways to synthesize aminoacid completely chemical or with bacteria. You could just create them and also polymerize them so you get proteins. Then you need fat which isn't a big problem, you only have to synthesize Glycerin and some long fat acids.

the prison is the flesh, the biological life. it packs (or rather unpacks) all the gods and satans of the world. for they are modeled after biological human strengths and weaknesses.
such gods make no sense for other forms of life (not biological), as they share nothing. satans tricks don't quite fit anymore (fully), god's as well.
they may develop their own, but god and satan are completely and uniquely tied to human biology.
the earth's environment accommodates humans, with their deities. you can't take that away from it as long as biological humans (not genetically altered) inhabit it. the only solution is new type of life in another place (like planet or whatever), where the earth's gods cannot follow.
