Hello friends, what’s your opinion and idea about the future of space exploration, travel, the solutions to the hardships of space travel?
We have the tech to colonise the solar system now. The desire to do so it what is missing.
Any thoughts of travelling to others stars within one human lifetime will always remain SF.
Can you elaborate on “We have the tech to colonise the solar system now.”
There is nothing we need to invent to be able to start a permanent human presence outside near earth orbit.
Transport. Life support. Communication. etc
Wether is it something we should be devoting the level of investment required to do it when there are so many issues that need attention on earth is another matter.
“There is nothing we need to invent to be able to start a permanent human presence outside near earth orbit.Transport. Life support. Communication. etc” It is not just about ‘Transport. Life support. Communication. etc’, its about the fuel efficiency, the ability of humans to sustain in space, the ability to have great volumes of food, devote great time and risk, engineering hardships, etc. “there are so many issues that need” attention on earth is another matter. Can you specify?
The destruction of the climate.
That’s why we have to create a space colony and make multiple planets suitable for life. We cant depend on a single planet’s climate, etc.
Also - humanity can do multiple things at once. Fixing climate change is a political/tech issue, not a lack of resources issue.
If individuals realize and take actions to stop climate change, we are good to go for it.
