Can we actually achieve it?

>>507380925 (OP)
no, the distances in space are too great to overcome.

>>507380925 (OP)
why would you want to climb that mountain anyways.

>>507380925 (OP)
Yes but it will take at least one more civilization cycle reset before we get there. The current system where the primary focus is seeking economic growth at all costs to the point where we import and financially support useless eaters for the sole purpose of increasing consumption needs to crash and be reset back into a value based system if we want to reach the next level.

>>507380925 (OP)
It would need to be real, for a start

what do you think you will find up there, on the mountaintop.

>>507380925 (OP)
No because the first order of business is laying down your life for Israel.

yes, but we have to destroy jews first.

Kek no, every time we look at space we discover new ways of how deadly it is to both biological and mechanical life. The zone outside solar system, the so called wall of fire is about 42.000ºc by radioactive heat, impossible to travel

>>507380925 (OP)
yes. if the smartest people put in the effort and the government takes it seriously.
we either colonize space or go extinct when this planet dies

>>507380925 (OP)
Why would you go from a green hospitable world to barren wasteland planets that are so inhospitable that you require a special suit for you to breathe?

Stop fucking philosophising. Give me a damn engine design or something that can get us there or fuck off. Who cares whether we can or not. Let's just do it.

We won’t be around nearly that long.

>Can we actually achieve it?
This is pol not x.

But, you would need an armored ship, with advanced AI, equipped with artificial womb machines that will automatically grow frozen fertilized eggs, birth and then educate/feed for humans, once a suitable planet is found. This could take millions of years, for humans to inhabit a world outside our system.

We will never build a ship like this. We will reach peak oil before that happens. Once we lose the oil, we lose the fuel for the rockets, and with the global economic collapse, never reach space ever again.

>>507383771
so was the Atlantic

>>507387460
Space is like several magnitudes larger, I know difficult for a brown person to imagine that.

>>507380925 (OP)
In this solar system maybe, Mars, Jupiter's moons, etc, beyond that is incomprehensibly difficult without FTL shenanigans which itself might not even be possible.

>>507380925 (OP)
I've gone into deep space in the outer solar system region, and into interstellar space to go between starystems, while lucid dreaming.
0$ budget, no special training other than what I devised myself.
I've made contact with various alien intelligences who also share a dream space with us. I use constellations to navigate and pick targets.

you'll never achieve anything more than sticking up satellites in orbit with rockets. Einstein's gay jewish theories of relativism denies the existence of advanced propulsion and abundant energy models. we'll be forever strip mining the planet for crude fuels to light fireworks to get out of orbit.

until we throw out these false scientific models put in place around 1910 we will be forever toiling in the mud and wasting massive amount of resources just to put a schoolbus size object into space

>>507385754
>>507386706
We've got 500 million years, maybe a billion if we live on the poles.
The biggest problem is that we have barely 500 years of "fossil fuels" left. THAT could cause a new dark age for a few thousand years.
MAYBE nuclear / breeder / thorium reactors could push that out to a few thousand years, but unless we come up with something revolutionary in energy, things will rapidly devolve without cheap energy.

>>507383771
>no, the distances in space are too great to overcome.
It is entirely possible to reach other star systems.
Takes time, but Generation-ships, Project Orion, we can do.

>>507387873
>Mars
No magnetic field. No atmosphere and not enough volatiles on the whole planet to make one. Toxic soil contaminated with nasty shit like perchlorates. Low gravity that’s going to play hell with our biology which evolved for something completely different. No hydrocarbons for anything.
>Jupiter’s moons
Same as Mars only worse, and then bathed in a hellish bath of radiation from Jupiter
There is only one place in the solar system we can live, and we’re on it now

>>507386706
Then we have to go to space. We were cursed with a G-type star instead of a long-living F-type. But maybe it's God's way of saying "go forth and conquer the cosmos, or die here on Earth without so much as a whimper".

Stop feeding and breeding niggers.
Then whites will venture to the stars.

>>507387546

>>507387546
And rockets go thousands of times faster than any ship built by man.

Whats in the direction of Aldebaran / Pleiades?

>>507388557
>We were cursed with a G-type star instead of a long-living F-type
If we can't figure out FTL + infinite cheap energy in 500 million years then we are the niggers of the cosmos and deserve to die.

>>507388635
Our expansion into space over 50 years has been pitiful

>>507387873
We are not going past Mars. I think the Moon and Mars will be the prequisite for interstellar travel. Once we can figure out all the systems for sustaining a human presence off-world, then we can start looking at neighbouring stars with planets in the habitable zone. Everything past the asteroid belt is just too cold and icy. Maybe we'll have a research outpost on Callisto but I can't see much more than that. It will go something like this: Moon base -> Mars base -> Moon expansion and commercialisation -> Mars independence -> Interstellar.

>>507388543
machine life could live almost anywhere

>>507388694
and thats still nowhere near fast enough to get anywhere

>>507388543
>No magnetic field. No atmosphere
Again with this demoralisation bullshit. Read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsar,_Iran#Geography
>Toxic soil contaminated with nasty shit like perchlorates
We can figure out a way to clean it or just use feces or even mix them. Don't tell me it's impossible.
>Low gravity that’s going to play hell with our biology which evolved for something completely different.
We don't know that. 0.37g may be enough to remain healthy. We can literally recover from 9+ months in 0G, 0.37G has to be even easier to deal with. At worst, Martians will be weaker relative to Earthlings, but still strong enough to handle equivalent loads jn Martian gravity. The real issue with gravity is childbirth and it's about time we start experimenting with that.
>No hydrocarbons for anything.
Good thing we will use solar and nuclear then.

>>507389100

>>507380925 (OP)
>>507383771
People do not understand the size between stars, let alone between planets. In fact i'd say it's impossible to properly visualize. It is an absolutely ridiculous volume to which numbers don't do justice
Sure you could send people to another star, make them sleep for several thousands of years, and then they'd reach it. But colonization after that, cut off from everything else, is very hopeful and honestly of little worth even when taking extinction into account. You might as well settle somewhere else in the solar system.
So unless we get sci-fi travel inventions in the future, not within your lifetime just so you know, it won't happen.

>>507389842
>not easy, not impossible
its impossible today and impossible for the foreseeable future.

>>507380925 (OP)
If we still had segregation maybe. Only the white man could accomplish this, and as of now any space ship or star program would be 50% blacks and browns.

Consider if technology was just 200 years ahead of social policies, space would be taken over and colonized by whites only.

This will never be the case now, any space flight will have to be full of blacks just so that we can keep being held back by them, even in space. It's over.

Though this did put me in the mood for a good sci fi movie tonight or maybe I'll finally read the expanse.

The german anon is right, there's simply no point of comparison, the technology isn't there and probably never will before humanity dies from the impending techno-slavery or a massive extinction event.
>>507388269
That could work yes but, there's no way to build a vessel big enough for a multi generational travel, there are too many variables and unknowns, so it'd be like shooting live salvo in the dark.

>>507390729
It's true. People can look up how far a certain celestial object is and think "wow, that's crazy far away" but actually imagining such distances is something else.

I think whether it's possible or not is a different question, but keeping dreaming and pushing our species to explore the universe as best we can with each generations technology, has only had beneficial effects for everyone. For those who can appreciate it and those who can't.

I think you missed with the word "volume", in the context of the phrase, although it's still correct.
And you are right btw, it's just too many npcs are hung in scifi where the captain flicks a switch and they arrive to the next galaxy in a few minutes. so the story can advance before the next commercial break.

theoretically possible allegedly, according to some math i dont understand. but that doesnt mean we will ever be able to build one. maybe we can one day, we just dont know. it seems to require some material with negative mass and we dont know if that exists let alone where to find it or how to make it. all we have is math that allegedly says its possible

Brown hands typed these.

>>507391117
There are lots of better treatments. However, even without a warp drive they all posit some type of advanced engine technology that we are nowhere close to developing, along with a whole host of other required hand-wavey technologies that may not be possible at all. Suspended animation/cryosleep. Force fields so you don’t go to emceesquared when you plow into a small rock while moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light. Near perfect closed systems so you don’t run out of air and water over hundreds or thousands of years. Machinery that won’t break down over hundreds or thousands of years. Etc, etc, etc.
And you need ALL of them solved before we hit the resource wall and can no longer even make the effort.

Which you have no proof actually exist. And the science they’re hypothesized on days they can’t exist for more than an infinitesimal fraction of a second without evaporating, unless they are lined with some type of exotic matter. Which we don’t have and isn’t even predicted to exist or to be capable of existing in the universe by any math or science we have. Even the guys who first mentioned them as a possibility due to them falling out of math they were working on don’t believe they donor can exist.
It’s pure science fiction.

Space travel is a meme and based on jewish Einstein physics. The real redpill that they don't want you to know or look into is interdimensional or astral travel.

Colonize the ocean instead. It's right there. There are resources in the crust everywhere you go. Food can be grown underwater. Oxygen can be made from the water. Colonists can be back home in a day.

Space is fake and gay.

>>507395451
"Interdimensional" is probably what enables FTL. My theory is that all matter is 4D spatial, and if you can rotate in that 4D, the universal projection shifts around you. Things that were far away become near. Things near go far away.

Oh these days corporations have incentives alright, they are not doing it out of good will for humanity.
My guess in a couple hundred years they reach the asteroid belt or perhaps Jupiter moons for resource extraction and then it stalls for another few hundred years or more.

>>507395638
The real blackpill is that most physics going back to Newton is based on false axioms as well.
The first and last scientists were the generation of physicists who started work with electromagnetism (i.e. Faraday, Maxwell, Tesla) because they were the first to actually work empirically (Newton never did a physics experiment in his life). But once the elites realized that investigations into this would basically lead to free energy in 10-20 years if progress kept being made at the same pace, they had to put a stop to it and shift to (((Einstein))) relativity.

>>507395119
Maybe we should just steal the ideas for how to colonise space like that plagiarising little shit did for his entire life.

>>507396126
You are on to something and closer to the truth than you realize probably. Keep going and for the love of god don't post your findings and keep it to yourself.

>>507380925 (OP)
I’d rather not. Seems like a lot of hassle. Can’t we just develop underwater breathing tech and explore the oceans instead? That might amount to a whole worlds worth of territory that in space might just be barren freezing rock, and at least we know there are cool fish and shit down there.

>>507380925 (OP)
No white man, no humanity.

>>507396126
Heinlein covered that in The Number of the Beast, a criminally underrated book.
It isn’t a new idea. N-dimensional geometry has been around forever. From a pure math standpoint it isn’t hard to generalize equations to higher dimensions. The problem is that we’ve never been able to prove that any of these higher dimensions exist, much less been able to manipulate them.
Personally I like the idea because it makes my inner mathematician very happy, but until there’s some evidence they do actually exist it’s nothing but fun math.

>>507380925 (OP)
No. We tolerate too many retards. As an example we have people today who claim space is fake, the moon landings were a hoax, and the Earth is flat. That is just the tip of the stupidity iceberg. Too many people today lack basic comprehension and critical thinking skills.
First we must eradicate these morons. Humanely.
They should be sterilized before they can breed.
Then we must encourage smart capable people to breed instead..
Giving financial subsides to them to increase the number of children they produce.
Finally people should be restricted from breeding unless they are above average intelligence, can prove they are fit and capable parents, have no mental illness or genetic defects, and must remain in stable marriages for life.
After several generations of doing this we would purge stupidity from our society and become a star faring species.

>>507388269
>>507383771
The speed of light is likely just as impassable in your century as it will be in the next. Science fiction that says otherwise is mostly magical thinking. We can't even get close, given the titanic amounts of energy it takes to accelerate to even a fraction of the speed of light. No way around it, each light year - or 6 trillion miles - will take decades to cross, and there are barely any stars in a 10-light year radius. We're in a "celestial suburb". The only way humans have ever seriously considered getting to the realm of other star systems is in vast starships designed to run for a century or two. Because they would probably take multiple generations to reach their destination, normies call them "generation ships". The humans who keep a generation ship running are most likely not the same ones who will see their new home. Keeping such an "ark" running is filled with so many insurmountable variables involving radiation exposure, mechanical failure, accleration and deceleration, social systems, and the fragility of the human mind and spirit, that it's pretty much unfeasible.
No one will ever break the universal speed limit. Time travel will never be possible either for similar reasons. It's a violation of causality. There is also no magic "warp-space" for a spaceship to enter either. Wormholes, Alcubierre drive, etc. all require exotic matter that doesn't exist.

Space is fake, Jewish and gay, anon

>>507402229
I have a better idea.
Use human corpses as a solar radiation shield.
Here's what we do.
Using AI generated bullshit we fake a Mars landing which makes a remarkable discovery. Underneath the surface of Mars there are billions of 10/10 big tiddy white women who lust only for non-white cock
Then we offer one way trips to Mars. But the spaceships dont actually land on Mars, they eject their human cargo into an orbit around the sun. Eventually we build up a belt of orbiting human corpses which shield future white
space travelers from harmful solar radiation.
That's just the first step.
Second step is offering absolute proof of flat Earth by sending flat feathers into space so they can bounce off the dome. What we really do though is send them on a collision coarse to Mars. When the hit Mars they add their mass along with valuable water and organic molecules to the surface. Eventually the gravity of Mars increases so it can sustain an atmosphere, at the same time the build up organic material and water makes conditions for living on Mars suitable. We then use Mars as a staging post for further exploration.

No. Brown muttoid Jewish overlord hellworld is the future.

I think it's fine if axioms were false as long as they were constantly being refined. The problem started with Einstein, when the axiom become sacrosanct and untouchable. "Light always moves at c. If you observe something else it's because you're mistaken by r-effects." Talk about self-proving.

Also experiments are overrated. What's most important is natural observstion. Old school experiments were meant to allow precise observation, not "test theories" as likes would have you believe. Newton observed the heavens and figured out rules of motion. Faraday observed electrical effects and made his laws. It's very different from how today's gay scientists conduct their work.

>>507398478
Didn't like that book, but cool concept. My idea isn't about n-parallel dimensions though. It's our 4 spatial dimensions projected onto a 3d manifold, like a shadow. But if you rotate the 4D object, the shadow changes. Our universe is the 3D shadows. Also when you move at velocity, we observe that shadow at a different rotational angle. (Lorentz contraction)

sure, if humans can develop technology in peace they could do anything.

there is this pesky dimension - time

I have a conspiracy theory where I think the technology is being actively suppressed for whatever reason. It's a large, system wide thing too. Part of dumbing down the US education system and market is preventing us from further advancing. Musk is trying really hard to do it, but look at the resistance he gets.

Thing about free energy is that yes there's abundant free energy all around us but to harness and direct it towards some useful end requires capital equipment and said capital equipment requires more capital equipment to build and the mining of the materials and such and the costs thereof have to be amortized so going solar puts you ahead of the curve but it isn't a completely free lunch unless you use it for vitamin D

Einstein is a dead end

Would need to build massive ships in space. cannot overcome radiation belt on terran launched ships.
Would need generation ships or warping capability to overcome distance.
Would need to kill all the Jews first. They would never let seed civilizations happen where races could be homogenous and carve their own destiny.

Sometimes I think space is only for the gods. Sometimes I think there aren't more planets, but, more land out there. Forever. But I like ball Earth more. I like Hollow Earth.

This image is perfect. On the left is a complex, iconic painting epitomizing an artistic and culture movement, reflecting man conquering nature and himself. The others are hollow AI imitations about conquering nothing, because space exploration is a venture for nothing. No one can actually articulate why we should be trying to explore space, they just dump money into it and celebrate passing small hurdles in a pointless race with no end. But I guess dumping satellite shit into orbit is the future of man kind.

Until there are things it makes economic sense to do in space rather than down here, there’s no real point. It’s the same reason no one really bothers with Antarctica. There’s no current economic benefit to it. Resource extraction would be hella expensive because of the extremely hostile environment. Space is even more hostile, the distances are prohibitive, and the resources aren’t worth the expense. There’s nothing out there that you can’t get cheaper right here.
