>too late to explore the earth

80% of the ocean is unexplored.

Hold the phone. We're counteracting lower gravity how?

>>5801745

That's because there is nothing worthwhile exploring there.

>>5801755

I'm sure someone at NASA is working on that full time.

>>5801757
How would you, or anyone else know that?

>>5801757
Do you even into paleontology?

>>5801732
>So where should we be by the year 2035. Mars, AT LEAST right?
Maybe if SpaceX delivers.

>>5801761

Because it's like scraping the bottom of a toilet bowl. All the interesting parts of the planet have already been explored and colonized.

Exploring uninteresting parts of the Ocean floor to discover more sand and more rocks is a waste of time.

>>5801765

Nope.

You're holding us back

Technological Singularity.
This will enable infinitly complex technologies, we will travel around the universe not just our solar system.

And that's like the simple stuff.

>>5801765

>Wanting to study extinct species instead of discovering extra terrestrial life

You're part of the problem, not the solution.

>>5801775

>Singularity
>Ever happening

My sides. It's religion for nerds.

Hell, If I had an inexpensive way of exploring the seabed I would, because it would be easier than looking for fossils on Mars.

We could have put a man on Mars by now, if we wanted to. But there is no point when we can just send robots instead.

It would be an ego stroking demonstration, rather than a worthwhile scientific mission.

>>5801783

Earth fossils wouldn't hold as much interest.

>>5801780
hahhaa
You sound like a man from 1800's doubting that we can create machines that can fly us around.


Stay simple minded, anon.

>>5801789

hahhaa
You sound like a man from the 1100's doubting we can't use magic spells to turn cow shit into solid gold.

Stay simple minded, anon.

>>5801793
hahhaa
You sound like a man from the 2013 doubting that we can't create a technological singularity within several decades, even when all evidence and causality all show in that direction.

Stay inside your cave, anon.

>>5801810
>evidence
Pray tell. Crush my dreams.

>>5801815
>crush my dreams
wyt?

>>5801815
Well if anon got married once today, then logically...

ITT: Plebs who think exploration is something that is exclusively done in physical space and have no clue about the enormous exploration efforts being carried out at CERN.

>>5801820
wyt?

>>5801821
Genetic engineering's where I see the singularity stemming from.

Physical exploration is overrated.
Both on earth and interplanetary.

What we need to do is to understand physics even more, create strong AI, play with DNA, etc to create fucktons of churazeee technologies.

>>5801834
>>5801810
One wishful thinking trying to shit on another's wishful thinking.

"Singularity" will come, eventually in one form or another.

2035 first manned colonies on other planet... there a go.. and another 66 years.. first expedition to another solar system.. maybe before you are dead you will see it

creeping singularity, believe in it

>>5801849
lol keep dreaming faggot... we aren't doing any of that...

>>5801768
>All the interesting parts of the planet have already been explored and colonized.
You're right. Because even getting to the bottom of the ocean is easy as any other method of terrestrial transportation. We could have colonized the Challenger Deep if we really wanted to, but it's only proved itself to be wholly uninteresting...

>Exploring uninteresting parts of the Ocean floor to discover more sand and more rocks is a waste of time.
>to discover more sand and more rocks
You have absolutely no idea what sorts of things lurk down there do you?...

Again... if we've only seen a tiny fraction of what is on the ocean floor, how would you know it's a waste of time?

>>5801859

>>5801861
Not him, no one said ocean/space exploration is entirely pointless.

Though it is extremely inefficient when you apply time/cost/effort and return of investment knowledge-wise.

Tell the Soviets to start making trouble again and get the public to stop being such dicks about nuclear pulse propulsion.

So, where you should be by the year 2035. Reddit, AT LEAST right?

Enjoy your dull life.

Don't tell me you're 12

>>5801849
>Manned colonies.
Those just won't happen for generations upon generations. Not reasonable to do nor possible to accomplish by conventional standards for any sustained period of time exceeding a year; though solar technology could do something to help those odds.

>>5801843
Thats like saying that Jesus will return, eventually in one form or another, you autistic fuck
