By e-mail turn-based strategy games like Civilizations or Dominions would become popular again. Or, potentially, by that time we'll have done something with tachyons and have FTL communication. That honestly seems pretty plausible as opposed to FTL travel itself.

Honestly it'd be no different than playing with people on time-zones on opposite ends of the earth. You're forgetting that regardless of having 24 hour days they're still spinning around and would have their own sleep/wake cycles.

Maybe if it's turn-based.

Imagine having to wait for actual planetary alignment so you can have optimal ping times with your Martian friends.

Not really, by the time people have something established on Mars they'll have developed their own time-zones for the planet, which could then be easily paired to earth time-zones. Three(ish) minutes of lag would make turn-based games pretty feasible, if not kind of long.

Networking between planets will probably always be high-latency and unreliable so probably yeah just by email. Also look forward to space liners sneakernet-ing hard drives of Wikipedia and other important websites back and forth.

It means it'll depend on where Earth and Mars are relative to each other in Solar System.

I bet we get some form of quantum entanglement communication before any kind of permanent space colonies

That's what they said about Americans and look how that turned out.

I was going more for what I read in science-fiction novels when I was a kid. The Ansible thing from Ender's Game could work, too I guess. The problem there would be to see if we could get quantum teleportation to work for bits of binary to send from computer to computer.

i like tachyon cannons, they're usually good weapons

That gamer came from the moon

Not really due to the fact that it's close to Earth once every two years and other times it's too far away

>Martian shitposters

>Internet 2 will be a Mars exclusive

i'm gonna use my wizard's wand to communicate with the martians

Why couldn't we establish way-point communication satellites?

>you now realize that humanity, at one point, will be spread out so far across the galaxy that sending a message from one person to another somewhere else in the galaxy might take multiple years for it to arrive

Kinda funny cause it's a bit like back then when some people on an expedition in South Africa sent letters with their exploration diary entries or whatever back to Spain or such.

I'm pretty sure tachyon-fields have been proven to exist, bro.

How would having waypoints help make it go any faster than the speed of light?

You'd need some sort of quantum computer able to flip bits instantly on another system. It's possible given what we think we know about quantum entanglement, but we're real far from it

I didn't say that, but it would make communication more reliable as the distances would expand and contract.

interplanetary space is complicated

It's optimistic to assume that we will even be able to get off this planet in large numbers to begin with

Not a lot of people, of the next few generations, will leave the planet. But many will be born elsewhere.
It's not like millions of people will move over to Mars. But if you have some dozens of people on Mars they'll start to have offspring and then after a lot of generations and so on..

I mean that's how it works, no?

I imagine that a viable population would need at least a few thousand to avoid a genetic downward spiral, just to be safe, although I don't know the exact numbers.

Of course, we can't even terramorph Earth right now so, we can't even dream about doing that to other planet.

I think we need to start doing it on our deserts, the Sahara and turn it into a forest would be a good start.

Playing videogames with someone from another planet? Why that is a great question. I personally think that if someone is interested in the possibility of a game being made for a planet with an alien population who were unable to evolve or have the ability to understand the concepts of reality, then playing a game such as one developed by an alien is a great opportunity for me. I'm confident that when I see our own video game development community creating projects like this one, I would be willing to make an investment of more than a million dollars to see us reach the next stage of this journey through technology.

Why not just take Venus's braps and put them on Mars?

We could just use bombs or explode meteors on its atmosphere if that's the case.

>dustnigger
I like this

As I've already said, I've always been interested in games and the development community, but before I could even begin to contemplate creating one myself, it struck me. I realized that there are millions of potential games out there without even being aware of the ones that exist. If I could create one for humanity that would truly serve as a universal platform, it would be a great resource for developers, and I hope I can convince you that it really is possible.

The first game I'd like to propose for the title space, It was inspired by a certain video game series I have a great fondness for. It was called "Super Mario Party", which started a lot of fanart with the characters Mario and Luigi being a sidekick and a general helper, and now, it is a brand new game series with a different type of gameplay. So the first game we'll discuss is called "Super Mario Party 8-bit". If you haven't heard of this game before, please give us a play, because it is a classic 2D platform game that can be used by many different people. If you are unfamiliar with this game, don't worry: it is very simple and there's an easy to learn guide to follow.

"Super Mario Party 8-bit" also features many collectibles and games related to the game with the use of Mario, Luigi, Peach, the Princess Tifa, and many more from the game set.

Ok, what are you going to do about the part where planets move and turn?

extra length cables, duh

You've seen a vacuum cleaner with a retractable cord, right?

Planets orbit on just one plane right? Have the cable go up a bit and connect at the north pole. This would also help the cable arc over the sun and connect between both planets.

Venus, heat allows oceans to exist, and the planet is about the size of our planet, so imho its our best option. But which one is the fourth planet? One of the Jupiter moons?

Developing such a videogame is a colossal task within itself, my friend, and so you must realize that you are an idiot when you want to do a videogame. So if you decide to make a videogame, go ahead, I'm here to support you. You know, to help you realize that whatever you think you are doing is something more than just that.
So you need help. Like, for the videogame, a lot of help.
This is not so much a videogame as a platformer. And a platformer is kind of like a fighting game, you know? You get to smash your way through enemies for a while, which means that, you know, a lot of work would go into getting that to work. It takes a lot of skill, you know? You have to learn how to control things, you have to learn how to get around different enemies, to maneuver around different weapons. Well, there's all this stuff! There's all this stuff.

>humans can't even survive harsh climates on planet the perfect distance from the sun (Earth).
>fool other gullible humans into thinking they could survive on a planet even colder, harsher, and further away from the sun.

Think about how cold it is on the coldest part of Earth. Then think about 33 million miles further away from the heat source.

It's like being burned by warm rice, then saying you could survive inside the sun.

Having tangible proof of something is important, even if it seems obvious. It's a small difference between "life outside Earth almost certainly exists", and "life outside Earth definitely exists", but I think it would change the general perception of what space is like for the better.

We'll all be playing ASCII roguelikes to conserve processing power for our ships' subsystems.

Sure, but we're talking about a universe vast enough that something with only a trillionth of a trillionth of a chance of happening will happen... trillions of times. We might never encounter any aliens or alien artifacts, but they're certainly there. Our solar system's layout is uncommon, yet we've identified multiple other systems just within our local section of the galaxy that likely have the same setup. Whether some unicellular life exists on Europa or on some rock a billion galaxies over isn't too significant, I'd be more interested in finding out what life exists in those other star systems with Jovians and moons.

>statistically impossible
>when there's literally nothing special about our star system or galaxy.
We don't know the conditions necessary for abiogenesis, or if this is even how life originated on our planet. It might be statistically plentiful or statistically improbable. "We exist therefore it ought to be plentiful" is a faulty conclusion drawn from the premise. A lottery winner would likewise erroneously conclude that there must be tons of other lottery winners out there.

I think more life in this star system will more likely point to a panspermia theory rather than abiogenesis, especially if they have the same DNA structure

>implying you’ll live to see even the first steps toward this future

Panspermia only pushes the origin back desu

fiber optic cables are slightly slower than the speed of light, since the glass actually slows light down. plus you need repeaters otherwise you lose the signal entirely over long distances. a cable hundreds of millions of miles long would never work, even if we could technically make it

Not to talk the best way to have water and an atmosphere on the planet using that methot would be by exploding the meteors before they could reach the planet. Otherwise you could potentially scar the surface of the planet like our own moon, destroy what small atmosphere it still has and send debrid flying everywhere or potentially tear it apart

Nobody wants to turn into those disgusting fat Wall-e slobs that eat food flavors out of a cup.

isn't Earth the only planet with its type of geological system in our Solar System because of water? Tectonic plates require oceans. Maybe Titan has it too, dunno.

How do you think Earth was created. It was small planet too. Meteorites bombardment started life on Earth literally.

This user gets it. Terraforming a planet is a stupid waste, traveling who knows how many lightyears away to find a near-perfect planet just waiting for us is a stupid waste. We have everything we need already in our solar system to start building O'Neill cylindrical habitats fine-tuned for human life. It requires no terraforming, no extra-solar travel, and substantially fewer technological advancements than either of those options. Hell, get enough of them flying around the sun and link them together and you've got yourself a discount Dyson swarm as well as habitats to support quadrillions of humans.

graphene is probably going to be your answer

Mars will be australia but so much worse. Imagine the fucking accent thats spawned from endless radioactive desert and being underground at all times. AND they'll ruin every thread they're in AND shit up every game they somehow manage to connect to. Though I doubt radio will be used by that time, probably going to be entangled quantum pair connection.

Also have a defence systems from necromorphs or something like that.

But it wouldn't do much to Mars other than scaring its surface or worse. The planet is too small to have an active core.

The best way for it to keep an atmosphere is for us to actively terramorph it, or hell, why not giant imans? Maybe one day we can produce an artificial magnosphere.

yeah but it would be one that would be constantly riddled with holes from specks of space debris slamming into it 40x the speed of light. there's nowhere you could put it in space that would be safe from the constant bombardment.

Honestly the hype around colonizing Mars is overrated. If you really look at it, Mars is just fucking shit. Its got a wispy thin atmosphere, no magnetosphere, a longer orbital period, and gravity comparable to the moon. Its an overall shit choice when compared to our other options. We really should be looking more at Venus as our first option. Now before you say this is a dumb idea I want you to consider a few things. Yes, the atmosphere has sulfuric acid. Yes, at the surface level you would be squished and cooked alive. However I'm not suggesting we try to build a colony on the surface. Rather I suggest we build floating cities in the upper atmosphere. The upper atmosphere has an average temperature of around 76 Celsius and has about 1atm of pressure. Venus also has a magnetosphere that can protect us from radiation. And normal air works as a lifting gas in the ultra dense atmosphere of Venus. Its not going to be easy, but I honestly believe that we have a better chance of colonizing Venus than we do Mars. Especially if we use microbes to break down the toxic elements in Venus' atmosphere.

You know what's also shit in our solar system? The fact that we don't have a single mega earth. And they are apparently very common in other solar systems.

I think we had an extremely shit luck with our solar system, with Mars being too small, venus being in a runaway climate hell, no super earth for us to explore.

If we had at least one more planet, things would be easier.

Because we had found a new energy source that was better than anything we had before. Every advancement that came about was because of the use of electricity. They were ideas just waiting to happen.
But electricity can only take you so far and this is the end result of it. We've capped out. We won't get another boom in technology until we discover another new form of energy. For the last 30 years at least the goal has been to use electricity more efficiently because there's only so much you can do with it.

Maybe we'll see cold fusion reactors or something in the future. But for now we're fucking stuck.

*ahem
Muh chernobyl

Nuclear energy isn't the kind of new advance we'd need for energy. You still have to have a way to store the energy and you can't just have nuclear reactors everywhere you need to generate electricity.
The problem isn't producing electricity. We've already mastered that. The problem is when you need energy where no energy source can be put. This is why electric cars aren't as ubiquitous because gas is incredibly easy to store.
What we need then is either an alternative to electricity or a new extremely efficient way to store it.

reminder we went made those jumps through war and conflict. Research is slow because there is a very long process to it, we KNOW we can do cool shit with railguns and fusion energy however we LACK the materials research to make railguns practical - we can produce fusion energy however it barely/doesnt product net energy. it also gets really fuckin hot so we need to get magnetic plasma containment in a good spot

also, we are currently in a climate crisis, and you would think it would spark innovation on a larger scale. photovolatics are getting more and more efficient every year, while batteries are getting super efficient too, this is boring innovation, but it is still innovation

because 3 nuclear accidents reported on as if they could happen any time outside of the circumstances they actually happened in

reminder one of the biggest reasons chernobyl happened was because of shoddy construction, Fukushima was built in a really shitty place

Unfortunately Chernobyl is still too good a deterrent for nuclear power. Doesn't help that Russia still doesn't want to admit that it fucked up so tremendously, that they initially tried to fucking hide the initial accident and more or less doomed millions of people through their own corruption and ineptness. The level of incompetence still infuriates me desu.

You'd have tens of thousands of habitats you dolt, each O'Neill cylinder can support billions. They're larger than user's image implies, although you could always build smaller ones for millions or even just thousands of people instead if you wanted to.
This is beyond silly. Necromorphs are so ridiculous that until we actually encounter something like that (i.e. almost certainly never) there's no point in arguing what would be better for dealing with them. Habitats can be built to have ridiculous redundancy and safety to the point that nothing short of an asteroid strike could truly damage them, but then you just use your thrusters to move out of the way. The things that would doom habitats would also doom the Earth.

>Muh chernobyl
Three Mile Island didn't help.

>Fukushima was built in a really shitty place
Honestly this will always be the drawback to nuclear energy. You can't find a place on earth that a nuclear reactor won't be in some kind of geological danger. Until we find a way to truly fail-safe them we'll have to deal with meltdowns. The problem is that you can't just make radioactive material not radioactive when a disaster occurs.

>can't find a place on earth
Southwest American states like Arizona, New Mexico and Northern Texas
Russian frontier shitholes like Siberia
Don't build powerplant where tsunami's and earthquakes happen regularly.

This is probably a brainlet-tier idea but why not build them in space? Meltdowns could be fixed by robots and wouldn't damage Earth (if they ever even happened). Don't we have technology that lets us transmit a lot of power wirelessly? I'd imagine there's some issue getting it through the atmosphere and heat is hard to do away with in space but other than that I don't see why it wouldn't work.

>Northern Texas
I dunno about the rest of those areas but I live in Southern Oklahoma and there are earthquakes constantly, hundreds per year though only a dozen or so can actually shake a room up.

midwest US is "ok", tornadoes and storms being the scariest part

Alright you quadruple nigger I'll spell it out for you since you've got a celsius room temp iq. Think about all the different things your body has to do to keep you from falling over when you walk. If someone gives you a little push when you're walking do you fall over? If you stumble over a crack in the sidewalk do you just faceplant? You ever wonder why you don't? Because we've got a fucking supercomputer in our heads that does millions of on the fly calculations to determine how exactly to react to something out of the ordinary even when its never encountered something before. Better programming doesn't mean shit when you need something that can learn and adapt, and especially need precision movements so you don't just have a walking metal death machine that has turbo tard strength.

It makes me absolutely furious that people think a poorly staffed soviet nuclear power plant from 30+ years ago has any bearing on the nuke plants of today.

No, the speed of light is too slow.

Probably chess or some shit.

So build them where there are no tornadoes like Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. Even the Appalachias would be good places to build Nuclear plants too.

Radioactive debris in near earth orbit sounds pretty bad

The point of building a reactor near the sea is probably to use sea water to help with cooling.

Gyroscopes then dumbass.

>You can't find a place on earth that a nuclear reactor won't be in some kind of geological danger
New Mexico, the Canadian shield, the vast majority of the American midwest, Siberia, Greenland, etc...

why not just make floating reactors bruh

I suppose there'd be the risk of it raining down on the planet, but how would it get there in the first place? As far as I know satellites are generally rather safe, it's not like they're colliding or getting destroyed by space rocks.

What's worse is that it was the design on the reactor itself that was flawed and the head engineers fucked up the test so badly. Good luck getting any Russian politician - even now - to admit that (unless you just want them to blame it all on the guys in the plant, the cowards will blame them all day).

Gyroscopes? Really? GEE WHAT A FUCKING INNOVATIVE IDEA WHY DID NOBODY EVER THINK OF THAT?
Yes, lets just use all the battery power of the robot to spin reaction wheels so it never falls over ever. Never mind any sort of precision or agility.

- Even though you'll cut out the need for shielding, a nuclear power plant is a huge, sprawling, complex machine. You'll have to get hundreds, possibly thousands of tons of stuff up there to make it.
- People get panicky enough about the little RTGs we put on the occasional probe. Shifting a stack of fuel rods into the sky every other week on what is essentially a giant firework will annoy them .
- Reactors get really hot and you don't have a nearby river or sea to cool it down with, so you'll need masses of radiators to cool it down, adding to the amount of shit you need to get into orbit.

We kinda left a mess around Earth, there's a bunch of debris ready to turn stuff in swiss cheese if we're not careful.

Japan can only build shit on Japan.
Maybe when we have the world government you can bring that up with them.

I haven't seen that show, but reading about Chernobyl it seems absolutely fucking terrifying being anywhere close to the reactor when it was in meltdown. You look directly into the blown out reactor and you instantly get a fatal dose of radiation without even knowing it.

You guys are missing my point. I'm not saying we should try to find safe places to build reactors but that we should try to build reactors that can be put anywhere.

youtube.com/watch?v=XlzaKrG4ljw

Then Japan shouldn't build any nuclear reactors if they're only building on that shit island susceptible to Tsunami's and Earthquakes. Nuclear Powerplants for Americans, Russians, Canadicucks and Greenlanders only I guess.

Air turbines look cool right?

>we should try to build reactors that can be put anywhere.
We already can. Modern reactors have almost zero chance of melting down. Nuclear energy is the safest form of energy production in the history of the world. Its safer than coal, gas, wind, hydro, and maybe solar.

Venus has sulfuric acid, along with water vapor, CO2, oxygen, and nitrogen in addition to superior amounts of sunlight for energy production. We can use the acid in the air for industrial purposes or we could just sell it. We don't even need to set up specialized collectors for it either. We could collect it after we filter it out of the atmosphere to get something similar to our own air.

I wonder how long a concerted and dedicated effort with robust and highly efficient machines that can survive the Venusian pressures/temp/acidity will take to filter out the toxic atmosphere, and how long it would take for pressures to start dropping so that the effort becomes easier and easier as it goes on

How would they even begin to filter out all the sulfuric acid though, fuck its gonna be a challenge.

What's interesting is how both Mars and Venus have radically different problems when it comes to terraforming them, I wonder if either can be solved eventually.

The easiest way to terraform Venus is by blocking sunlight to the planet. You would need to cover close to 100 million square kilometers of area with some thin material (aluminum foil is probably the best substance for this especially considering aluminum is the most abundant metal in Earth's crust)

This would cool down the planet and subsequently cause its carbon dioxide atmosphere to turn into a liquid, reducing surface pressure.

Venus actually has more nitrogen in its atmosphere than Earth does and nitrogen could stay gaseous even when carbon dioxide is condensing. So you would then just need to separate the carbon from the remaining CO2 atmosphere and Venus would be habitable.

If only space related channels on YouTube had as many views as gaming and internet drama. Things would probably be a bit better.

Why not? Your future shit technology could benefit in the long run. Much more than atupid bullshit like stem cell made steaks that's only going to go towards feeding worthless third worlders.

Beyond the construction, the reactor design was fundamentally flawed with regards to how safe they thought it was.

Honestly it would have taken a miracle for chernobyl to NOT melt down. Seriously, you build a shitty nuke plant, then understaff it and overwork the crew. What the fuck do you expect to happen?

Why did you just throw out the Kardashev scale when it has nothing to do with that picture? Neptune has no solid surface, just a solid core. How are you supposed to get rid of the gases and water that make up most of the planet to even get to that core? You cant. Removing all those gasses, even if you could, would remove the atmosphere leaving you with a shitty rock. Dragging a moon into orbit doesn't create plate tectonics in the core that remains. All of that and the planet is still to cold because there is no heat source for it. Terraforming gas giants is a completely fucking retarded idea and doesnt work. It would be easier to drag Mercury from its orbit into the habitable zone and terraform that

interesting, so we construct a sun shade in orbit, block off all sunlight on the planet and observe what happens?

We can use 3D printing (pic related) to construct the sun shade so it could be relatively low-cost, and then just ensure it constantly blocks the sun like a permanent eclipse

How long would it take for us to see results?

it took me a second to realize just how stupid this post is.

At 1 atm of pressure, sulfuric acid will become a liquid at temperatures below 337°C while nitrogen will only become a liquid at temperatures below -196°C. So you can remove sulfuric acid aerosols without having to remove the nitrogen gas.

The temperature you would want to engineer Venus's surface to is probably -40°C so that all of the CO2 will stay frozen even once the pressure is brought down closer to that of Earth's atmosphere.

>All the hubris ITT
Human beings are not capable of knowing anything. The human body is still an enigma in many ways, and so are our own oceans, let alone another planet. Do you think we've been to the moon when every single project leading up to Apollo 11 was catastrophic failure not even close to that scope? Do you think the hypothetical science we have concerning things like black holes is even the slightest bit accurate? You can't even prove you're not a brain in a jar experiencing simulated reality, yet you seem to think humans are capable of understanding (let alone taming) the constants of our universe.

Like the Tower of Babel thousands of years ago, rest assured God will confound any futile human attempt to reach up and grasp for Heaven.

There could be anything down there, but it'll be a while before we manage to melt something through down the ice sheet (and also have that probe manage to send something back since something needs to remain at the surface to receive signals from down below somehow).

It is God's will that his children rule the stars and nothing will change this outcome.

I'm not saying the moon landing was fake but if they could do it with literally no technology, why don't they go all the time now that we have better computers and shit? It's honestly a bit suspicious that they went once and never again.

Politics and waning public interest.

But we're on a new track to return to the moon by 2025 now at least.

If I do that what's the guarantee that any sources I find aren't just propaganda being force-fed to me, the ignorant and impressionable civilian? How could I test this theory of atmospheric haze for myself without leaving the atmosphere?

Space Race is dead so there's no point to go to the moon by the government.

Bro, rocket technology hasn't evolved in 50 years. It's still a humongous waste of money.

it was literally just a cock measuring contest for the cold war. now that we've been there and have effectively concluded that the moon is in fact a giant dead rock, there's no real financial or research incentive to go there, at least not one that you can convince any modern government to pay for.

If people want to go to Mars, wouldn't it make sense to practise colonisation on the moon? Sure, you can make any convenient argument for why it's a waste but it was a waste back then too. Are Americans not vain in 2019? I think they are.

Were not at the point of even having colonization technology. I agree that the moon may be a good starting point but the main push for a mars mission is just to see if we can even get there and back.

Atmospheric haze simply means that everything in the distance looks grey/blue ish. It's not a "theory" you are just seeing the air.

People insistingly feel that pictures from the moon "look fake" because they are so clear because there is no air.

Well as of right now Helium 3 really only has practical aplications in fusion research. But its theorized that we can run fusion reactors with it.
As for rare earth metals, well, those are quite a bit more important. Every single aspect of modern life has rare earth metals. Modern electronics and electric motors would be impossible without them. We use them to make LCDs, lasers, fiber optics, as well as medical imaging technology like MRIs which use neodymium magnets. They even have use in water treatment. Good news is they're relatively abundant in the earths crust. Bad news is that finding an economically viable deposit of them is hard. The moon has loads of them from meteor impacts, among other metals like nickel and iron.
