The Eagle will land again

[Neon Apocalypse]

yeah the human race needs to start thinking about its own survival, not damn politics and music being downloaded, we need some technological breakthroughs AND FAST!!!

[xuur]

fusion power as a viable engergy source in THIS decade?
sadly, I'm not sure we'll be seeing that in (what remains of) my lifetime.

I like the thought however

[Neon Apocalypse]

well in the next century we better think of something good

[Hamma]

engage warp engines

[Everay]

truth is, theoreticaly, you could make warp engines, truth is though, you wont go fast enough with those. HOWEVER! theoreticaly, well, not theoreticaly, space, as in all space, is curved, and us humans, see it as straight, and gravity is created through that, but its another story, but, since space is curved, you can theoreticaly, go into some alternate dimention, and go though a short line through that curved space.


i know i didnt explain that too well, but yea. all thats left, really, is creating a powersupply that can get us to do that, and that as i said, can be done with a wormhole, thing is, to make a stable large wormhole, to get a ship through, would take about as much energy as our sun makes, if not more.

All thats left for humanity?


Yes. AIDS, cancer, pollution, crime, and war still run rampant over the world. BUT WHO GIVES A DAMN! LETS BUILD US A BIG OLD RED WHITE N' BLUE DOME ON TEH M00N!


Take that 500 billion, and oh, I dunno, get rid of the deficit? Put it towards research in life-saving medicines? There is all SORTS of shit than we can do with 500b before playing space cowboy.


Dubya's been watching the sci-fi channel late at night again.

[Everay]

i ment, all thats left to build those technologies.

BTW, space will help to solve those problems. IE a good powersupply, someone posted about on the OF, helium-3 i belive it is. no Co2, lil radiation, ect. and zero g enviorments are good for scientfic research. and something like going to the moon, if america includes all the countries, and makes this a global endevor, and not a american endevor, it can, and prolly will, unite the world.

How about some anti-matter space cannons?

[Everay]

possible, but again, youd need more energy than the sun gives out. a anti matter cannons basic principle, id assume, would be launching a anti matter projectile, in order to get anti matter, you have to do one of 2 thing, first, go to the center of the galaxy, and mine it, where its abundant, or second, use particle accelarators to collide them, and you make the anti matter, though, the latter option requres assloads of energy, so much, you cant comprehend it.

and going to the ceneter of the galaxy would take a long time, and even with a anti matter engine it would take 500 years

Bleh, land on the moon, colonize, go to marz, make it livable, colonize, make a fat ass telescope in space and name it jim, steal a martians ride, jump into lightspeed to its homeplanet, teach them how to play PS on the Emerald server.

Done.

TR on emerald don't need anymore newbies, TYVM.

Seriously though, the Intl Space Station shall still be put to use. We'll need a place to refuel and rearm...errr....repair before we invade....errr....colonize the Moon. It'll still be up there for a while. Get used to it.
