Think about it, where are you right now? You're in space. On a big fucking rock, a natural spaceship.

And food for thought, for when you go to sleep tonight: You're a hell of a lot less safe than somebody in an artificial spaceship. That's right fucker, at least the guys shitting their pants on Apollo 13 were a smaller target for gigantic meteorites that could hit with enough kinetic energy to shatter most of a planet into fist-sized chunks and send what is left flying into the sun. Plus they actually had something solid between them and the vacuum of space. You sure as shit don't.

Look up, fucker. Just how sure are you that something the size of Australia isn't hurtling towards you at thousands of miles a second, ready to royally fuck up your day?

Second of all, no protection from E/M radiation from the sun.
Third of all, low air pressure means the wingspan has to be huuuuuuge.

On the topic of black holes appearing bright: super massive black holes in active galactic nuclei tend to appear bright because there is a lot of material available. As this material falls into the black hole, revolving around in ever-tightening orbits, friction with other infalling material causes the matter to heat, and radiate with increasing energy. Smaller black holes are only themselves bright when they exist as part of a two-body system with another star, from which the hole can draw matter. For solo black holes, we must rely on gravitational lensing to detect them.

I don't know about mind-uploading...mind copying maybe.

This is what always made me uncomfortable with Star Trek. They don't teleport with the transporters...they commit suicide and then create a copy of themselves at the target location that thinks they're the original.

Until people can prove empyrically that the essence of one's consciousness and awareness can be transferred from one medium to another, without killing or creating a new "observer", so to speak, then I'll be opting way the fuck out.

I'm all for cybernetics, though. That's pretty cool stuff.

H+ Thu Aug 18 00:32:08 2011 No.3584366

>>3584357

That's been considered. The way to maintain conciousness in that manner is to slowly over the course of years replace a few of your neurons at a time with identical artificial substitutes, until eventually your entire brain is running on technology. Bam, continuity of self, no transporter/copy issues. The brain is incredibly elastic in responding to things like this, and once you've changed your substrate to digital, you can jump ship.

Now you're singing a tune I can jive to. However, once the brain is hardware, a new question will arise:
Is the essence of one's consciousness simply the collected experiences and memories contained in the brain - thus able to be transferred around like so much computer data? Or is the physical structure of the brain itself necessary for the coalescence of consciousness?

There's an episode that touches on this. Riker beamed out of a ship marooned on a planet, but the beam was partially reflected so the beam-out both failed and succeeded.
The original Riker was fucked, and left to live like Castaway on that marooned ship for years. The copy, thinking he escaped that hellhole, went on to live an awesome Starfleet career.
They end up meeting later on, and that shit gave me nightmares.

Google supplies (via snopes board): :
The Saturn plans are still at Huntsville. However, the contractor infrastructure is gone, many subassemblies were farmed out to small shops that are either out of business or who have long since discarded the necessary tooling. It's estimated it would cost at least $16 billion to retool to produce Saturns to the old plans.

It should also be noted that Saturn didn't have very many flights, so reliability statistics are not available. This is a similar problem to that facing Energia. Many NASA and contractor engineers
believe we were incredibly lucky with the Apollo program and that if it had continued we would have inevitably lost missions. Also Saturn launches were expensive. They cost about $550 million in *1967* dollars. A 1993 dollar is worth 12.5 cents in 1967 dollars so multiply costs by 8 to get current pricing.

In reality you wouldn't want to reproduce Saturn in any event. There have been sufficient advances in most of the flight systems since Saturn was designed that a clean sheet of paper approach would be better. It wouldn't be possible to get the avionics components used, they are no longer made. So new flight systems would be required.
The F1 engine could be resurrected fairly cheaply, but better engine designs exist. And tankage is pretty much tankage, though the pogoing
problem of Saturn was never really solved. Saturn was designed in the days of slide rules and drafting boards. With today's advanced design tools, CAD and CADCAM, finite structural analysis, etc, a lighter, stronger version could be designed with considerable confidence that it would work to near spec.
