To be honest, watching you try to gaslight and posture is almost entertaining, it's obvious you are in damage control mode because I called out your disingenuous bullshit. It doesn't even take more than a post.

>spoonfeed me!
If you can't even crosscheck the basic yourself, extra links won't help you.

>Jupiter Energy Fleet
It's canonically a for-profit corporation selling fuel for fusion reactor, they sure didn't predict minovsky reactor or speculated over half a century early without a market for fusion reactors/propulsion.

>weapon-market methaphor
Nice attempt to derail the metaphor, spending money on science-based atomic bomb is still smarter than on wunderwaffe for irrational reasoning.
The Nazis lost because they believed they could make the "ultimate whatever that resist everything" while others understood they only needed as many "good enough for the job" as possible.

>Putting your eggs in several baskets doesn't work if all the baskets are broken
Except the "basket" here did in fact protect more eggs through numbers and making less of them still wouldn't have made them capable of survive nukes (or gassing).
Sorry, your contrarianism can't turn the adage around. Quantity is a quality.

>So why bring up naturally taking millions of years in the first place?
Because I expected you to be smart enough to understand.
It is an explicit way of expressing the complexity of the task in terms of scientific understanding, technological imitation, logistical scaling, not counting the implied trial & errors that come from not having godlike prediction.
Biosphere and human bodies are incredibly complex, we are more likely to invent AGI / hard-AI first through brute force than to master the biology that keep us alive.
The Universal Century simply do not have perfect self-sufficiency yet, hence organic need.

Don't worry, I'm not more from you than more posturing and silly rhetoric.

Colony drop is a fitting end for this thread.
