I'm convinced that learning to terraform our own planet is essential before moving out into the stars. If we won't take our own ecosystem seriously we can't possibly go out there and build new ones to live in.

It's actually really obvious the more you think about it.

2028? The degree to which this isn't going to happen is unmatched

At this rate they might not be able to send a nuclear-powered intra-planetary ship to Bahrain by 2028

I am merely a big sci fi nerd who tries his best to know how space works. The degree to which this is impossible is like...overwhelming. Also stop being Mars perverts. There is nothing there. We already know that. Venus is a more potentially useful planet. The ISS in my opinion is the most important space thing that we have and we should make more of them. I may be a known gundam fan but part of what made me one was that I had already thought that orbital colonies are the best path forward towards human occupation of space before these ideas of a fucking trip to mars. We can't go to other planets. We just cant. The only way we can learn to do so is by learning how to make living in space comfortably work. We know how to get shit in orbit. Mars is boring, we have sent enough probes to know that

Imagine being on the USS Abraham Lincoln but a spacecraft

Lmao yeah let's design a spacecraft that requires it's engine to be cooled constantly just to avoid a nuclear meltdown. This is absolutely a viable option in the vacuum of space.

so like abrams and kurtzman trek

Things that will never happen

Full blockade of the Wormhole of Hormuz America and occupation of Deep Space Kharg

This is like Star Trek, but it's the mirror universe where Earth is way more imperialistic than it is in regular Star Trek.

To be fair the post atomic horror preceded the events of the show in Star Trek

I feel like I see that same thumbheaded guy in every space force photo op

or maybe I just see Vic Mackey everywhere and it's more of a me problem

As fine a way of saying 'no more Artemis missions' as any

I mean he said it so we know it’s not happening.

This is how you get IRL Event Horizon

That's the funniest shit I have seen all day

What the hell kind of propulsion could a nuclear reactor do in space? Don't we just use that shit to heat water to spin turbines here on earth? Don't we basically push ourselves around in space by letting the air out of balloons in the vacuum of space?

title makes it sound like star wars???
