I don't want a city on Mars

@nickofnz @atkelar 1%: what did water and climate and bees ever do for us?! *destroys more*

@billbennett @nickofnz

Too expensive to get them all there.

A simulation should be enough

(given that some tech extremists peddle the idea that "we live in a simulation", they can't even really complain!)

[stairjoke@indieweb.social]

@nickofnz I agree, but a research lab on the Moon and Mars would be neat.

@nickofnz How selfish of you /s

[knowprose@mastodon.social]

@nickofnz Clearly, people like us are the selfish ones.

@nickofnz
What plans do you have towards creating the world you want?

[nuwagaba2@mastodon.social]

@billbennett
Our planet is already destroyed. How can we bring it back to life?

[bondo@mastodon.social]

@nickofnz Yes! Lovely post.

[mrundkvist@archaeo.social]

@nickofnz
Agree. Also I don't want any billionaires.

[reinald@nrw.social]

@nickofnz As long, as problems are properly solved on earth, I would be excited about colonies on moon, mars and elsewhere. But, I rhink they won't prioritize accordingly.

How is clean water, bees, and climate negatively impacted by a city on Mars? Or any space industry? Launches. But it's not a significant source.

Space industries help us see the climate in perspective. Our planet is precious, and we need to access the solar system to protect it, and bring the functionally limitless power and material out there to help us here on Earth.

How much do rockets pollute?

Some might find it ironic that an organization like NASA, who studies our atmosphere, is ok with rockets polluting it so much. Or isn’t it weird that Elon Musk, the same person who is pushing sustainable energy with Tesla also has a rocket company that runs on fossil fuels? So today we are going to do a deep dive into this. We are going to see just how much of what rockets emit, go over how much different fuels and engine types pollute, then we will compare their emissions against other forms of transportation and other global polluters.

@nickofnz If a comet strikes the planet and darkens the skies for 500 years, and wipes out 99% of life on the planet, it will still be easier to form a human settlement here than on Mars.
