Answering a question posted during my live stream, speaking off the cuff and from the heart - My Earth evolved 1G heart to be specific. Enjoy!

"Ah, yeah. We're gonna go to Mars. And then of course we're gonna colonize deep space…with our microwave hot dogs and plastic vomit, fake dog shit and cinnamon dental floss, lemon-scented toilet paper and sneakers with lights in the heels and all these other impressive things we've done down here. But let me ask you this: what are we gonna tell the intergalactic council of ministers the first time one of our teenage mothers throws their newborn baby into a dumpster? How are we gonna explain that to the space people? How are we gonna let them know that our ambassador was only late for the meeting because his breakfast was cold and he had to spend half an hour punching his wife around the kitchen? And what are they gonna think when they find out, its just a local custom, that over 80 million women in the Third world have had their clitorises forcibly removed in order to reduce their sexual pleasure so they won't cheat on their husbands? Can't you just sense how eager the rest of the universe is for us to show up?" – George Carlin
Elon Musk is our lord and savior. He will solve every problem. 😄
I'm going for the whole CERN collider experiments concept. Allegedly opening up portals to other dimensions or the multiverse. IF that's a possibility. Perhaps the Elites (or test subjects) traveling to parallel earths that are still free from exploitation and not as populated? Of course will that earth have bacteria and other environmental issues we wouldn't be able to adapt to? It's all theory though. I'm starting to sound like Whitley Streiber.
Living on Mars? I thought we were already. Let's get down to earth and try living there.
Say they could grow potatoes on Mars. There’s an 8 minute delay for your call to Marvin to tell him to send an order of Martian Fries. After another 8 minutes you hear him say “no problem”. He fries them with paprika in a nuclear oven, adds red ketchup, and sends them to Earth. They arrive in 7 months and cold at your door. After factoring in the Martian exchange rate and with Martian inflation being what it is, it comes to $44.44 with tax. However, the interplanetary delivery fee is $100,000,000,000.00 in U.S. dollars. That would buy a lot of French fries on Earth. Plus you wouldn’t have to rinse them of fine perchlorate dust and radiation. After every 10 orders you get a free red Martian basketball, which is about 1/2 the size of a basketball from Earth.
We should live on Mars and the Moon, because we want to make as many places for humans to live as possible. Eventually the sun will expand out and engulf the earth, and by then we need to be off elsewhere.
I agree.
It’s a suicide mission, any first step you can think of to put a man up there even just for a little while would have to be a sacrifice/suicide mission.
This is how I think, this lady’s right.
It’s fun to think of ideas like this, but they’re taking up real estate in your head with these movies and television programs about it.
I certainly don't have the scientific background to make the kind of practical arguments about " space populating " , like you do , but agree with your assessment on the subject. The current path of trying to reach Mars ,has always baffled me ! The resources and energy spent on such endeavors ,seems such a waste ,when we have a planet that we already live on ,in desperate need of help. Research on curing disease ,and waste management and poverty and so on ,would be so much wiser an expenditure . Same with all this push to electric vehicles ,when it would be far less expensive and invasive to the planet , to vastly improve the technology we currently have with internal combustion power. Musk is only in it for the fame and notoriety as he has proven time and time again ,to possess no actual scientific knowledge and spews nonsense aspirations of his goals !
I used to go dirt skiing on Olympus mons as a wee tyke. ❤
It's cold as dry ice on Mars…
Very good points. Unless we create 1G and a means to shield ourselves from cosmic radiation we are doomed to remain an Earth bound species.
The merit of a pilgrimage lies in the journey, not the destination.
On the pilgrimage we get to build self-landing rockets that can be used over and over again. We get to make habitable space stations that have artificial gravity. We get to travel in space – and yes, have artificial gravity on those too. And our minds and "anchor points" expand.. goto Elon… 🙂
