Elon failed to fucking colonize South Africa.

Elon is a very dumb ideas guy. He will never accomplish shit beyond hyping up and scamming investors.

>>16163597
>Is Interstellar travel unironically possible?
yes
>Can we send humans to other stars and planets
not as meat

>>16163597
Elon Musk is the dumbest person on the planet and has no brain. I have a big brain

>>16163597
Elon can't do shit. Maybe AI will be able to once it exists

>>16163597
What would ironically colonising the galaxy look like?

>>16163597
Elon is far too dumb to ever do anything. He has achieved nothing. He's also the biggest scammers the world. He is not good. I'm much better than he is.

>>16163741
Ironically might be if we blew up earth with a nuclear war and fragments of the earth with bits of human corpse stuck to them were dispersed throughout the galaxy

>>16163753
Hmm that would be ironic

>>16163753
>he thinks nuclear holocause is about the earth being blown to pieces
Volcanic eruptions are stronger than nukes dumbfuck, it's the fallout and potential biological conditions being affected that could cause the end of humanity, the earth will do fine

>>16163621
How is is possible? Explain yourself.

>>16163597
Space is completely uninhabitable due to radiation cooking every cell in your body all at once. All astronauts die young of cancer. We're stuck on this planet, so we better take care of it. Invest in solar.

>>16163787
You can live inside buildings protected from radiation.

>>16163597
Humanity’s biggest filter is too many poor people.
Hundreds of billions of dollars spent, and for what? More votes for Democrat politicians?
Imagine how many space missions white people could afford if we weren’t forced to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on welfare and the military each year.

>>16163787
>Invest in solar.
From one impractical thing to another?

>>16163794
How is solar 'impractical' when plants use solar energy?

>>16163793
Wrong. Humanity's biggest filter is intolerance. Africa could be a first world economy by now if not for colonialism.

>>16163797
Solar is impractical because it will never be able to power civilization like hydrocarbons do. Nuclear is the option that *might* be able to.

>>16163803
>Nuclear
Obsolete technology that will destroy the planet. Might as well just start an atomic war. Solar is efficient, practical, cheap, and - most importantly - clean.

>>16163779
It was a sarcastic joke

>>16163813
You will have to ramp up your efforts at convincing the public at lowering their expectations if you want them to buy that solar is efficient. Maybe they'll be convinced to eat the bugs too.
I'm not a believer in nuclear, save the talking points. I'm simply not blind, and I know all the cushy comforts of the past century or so have been thanks to abundant and cheap oil. Cherish them and kiss them goodbye because scarcity is going to make its big comeback.

>>16163787
>Space is completely uninhabitable due to radiation cooking every cell in your body all at once. All astronauts die young of cancer.

This is patently false and easily debunked with a simple google search. The exact opposite is true: Astronauts possess remarkable and outlandish longevity and many of them live well into their 80's and 90's. The literal two men to walk on the moon, Niel Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin, lived to be 94 and 82 respectfully. Walter Cunningham, the Lunar module pilot, himself lived to be 90. The average life expectancy of an astronaut is in the 80's - it's literally longer than the average Americans.

There's more reason to believe that space has rejuvenative qualities. Granted, it probably has more to do with the diet, exercise, and selection process astronauts go through.

>>16163597
>Can Elon unironically colonize the galaxy?

Elon can't even name his fucking children. He's not colonizing anything.

>>16163597
Go away.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity can thereby move due to the conservation of momentum. It is credited to Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, who independently derived it and published it in 1903,[1][2] although it had been independently derived and published by William Moore in 1810,[3] and later published in a separate book in 1813.[4] Robert Goddard also developed it independently in 1912, and Hermann Oberth derived it independently about 1920.

"we" already do with black ops craft from recovered crashed ayyvessels. roggets are a smokescreen because they dont want the plebs to know or use that kind of tech and participate in the exploration of our galaxy

how much electricity does a cabbage make?

>>16164149
why do you believe that?

>>16163597
Of course, there is nothing in principle that makes it impossible. But you gonna need really fast ship or one that can endure generations.

>>16163786
anything we send we can send more times at once, through slightly different trajectories, thus statistically increasing the chances of whatever we send to get there. even if some information gets corrupted along the way you can rebuild the corrupted data from the other's data, like a RAID array. sending just one "thing" anywhere outside our solar system is retarded and with no redundancy.
also meat is not making it stop being silly

>>16164638 (me)
>also meat is not making it stop being silly
one solution to this is to encode "the best" human DNA into the von Neumann probe's data bank and upon arrival at destination have them scan for best place to set up shop, temporarily. the probe unpacks itself, builds the required robots, they build a human environment small base and start gestating the humans from the DNA we encoded. this version is still retarded but hey, you get your meat humans there this way. poor suckers.

>>16164322
because seeing these things is incredibly common

>>16164675
is it possible nowadays to create a human in a lab?

>>16163813
You are either trolling or clueless

>>16164638
>meat is not making it
Meat is just machines

>>16164909
seeing what?

>>16163813

>>16163827
>scarcity is going to make its big comeback.

Why?

>>>/sci/sfg/

>>16165112
Because hydrocarbons are a finite resource.

>>16165330
When they are done we will already have other thing like fusion or another thing.

More oil can be found too.

>>16165349
That's the spirit. There's just no way the past century was an aberration which is bound to end! It can't be, life is too comfortable right?

>>16165418
You are retarded.

Thanks for posting this thread OP. I was feeling a bit down today about my life and lack of accomplishments but now that I see what a moron Elon Musk is and how much better we all are than him, I feel a bit better. Please keep posting these, they're good for my mental health.

>>16165488
He is not a moron he is just in over his head

>>16165488
he unironically says its possible in this joe rogan interview, elon daddy is better than all of you faggots and can make it happen

go to 9:20 nerds

>>16164675
I know this is fun to think about, but this theory would be us playing God. Though, this whole thing reminds me of Ghost in the Shell, A Scanner Darkly, and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

>>16165672
Thanks anon. Mom yelled at me for trying to cook tendies myself while she was out buying me Hot Pockets. Knowing what an idiot Elon Musk is makes me feel important by comparison. You're the real hero for being so dedicated to my mental health.

>>16165746
you fucking dweebs are unbearable, keep worshiping and treating him like jesus, that sure worked out for you guys in the past
