Space Colonisation

[Ausinus]

Lets face it, the Earth isnt going to last forever. Do you support or oppose the idea of looking into inhabtiting space as a viable option?

[who897]

While I know it will not benifit me, I think we must if we are to survive as a species. Although, any colonisations I think would have to ensure that fundies are removed from any programs, just because they would be the down fall of any colonisation by ignorance manifestation. Also, there should be a bunch of Monaca Lewinski's (only hotter) running round cuz after that long ass trip, we'll need something to relax our minds.

[Ausinus]

Monica Lewinski's intern barbie - "My knees bend!":D

[who897]

Of course by the time any of that shit happens we better have pleasure robots and what not.

[Brains_Behind_Operation]

No reason to even try until we find another planet in reach that we can use to at least steal resources from. From what I understand we haven't concluded that any planet in the area is producing any sorts of consumable food, much less the ability to support human life....

[Ausinus]

Ever heard of hydroponics?

[Brains_Behind_Operation]

No, but I assume its has some sort of generative ability. What is it? Have we mastered it enough to keep a human alive indefinately without resources from some planet?

[Ausinus]

Hydroponics is the science of crop production without soil, instead using nutrient rich solutions.

Additionally, we can find both metals and water in other planets and satellites. Oxygen can be manufactured (you wouldnt need a lot of it either, most of the earths atmosphere is nitrogen anyway). We dont have to live on other planets, per se, but we can live in orbital installations.

And the aim of space colonisation is to prolong humanity's survavability long enough for new technologies to be created to help.

[who897]

Ohh Teraforming, to make planets viable options to humans. This will be the breaking of the sound barrier for the next few generations I believe. I'm just kinda disappointed I wasn't born a few hundred or thousand years into the future, I'd love to see some of that shit.

Now, say that we do start the colonization process, and have mines and all that other neat jazz going on. We tranport everything back to earth for what ever reasons. Wouldn't their be a point where we import too much shit and earth becomes too unstable due to the increase of mass we have brought to it? Or bring too much of a substance and it causes some form of imbalance in the chemical make up of shit. (I aint educumakated so, try to infer what the hell I'm trying to say) There would definatly have to be a megabajillion checks and balances in place before any colonization could start at least safely and practically.

[Ausinus]

The amount of mass it would take to significantly alter the Earth's astronomical position would be absolutley huge, even greater than the total mass of the moon. Additionally, said mass would have to be dense.

Also we can assume that although earth would be the centre of the pending space economy, we would have orbital storage yards and crap for hazardous materials.

Plus we have plenty of money, its just going into stupid things like military research. NASA's budget is only 15 million.

Shouldn't that be the US's Defense Department and NASA only gets 15 mil? Cuz you have stated your in Australia and all....... :D . Yeah, but there are a shit ton of people w/ dense heads on planet earth, shouldn't that be throwing our orbit all kinds of outta sync? Or perhaps their heads are just filled w/ hot air? :D

[General Septem]

Seeing as how I'm writing a book where the protagonists colonize space, my answer is yes.

I think we can colonize space as long as there is plenty of pizza and beer. Otherwise we're doomed. :D

The scene (above) aboard the space shuttle
Discovery must have been like something
out of a Hollywood blockbuster. "Houston,
we have a problem. Our supply of Domino's
Pizza is depleted. I repeat, all Domino's
Pizza is gone. Do you copy?"

Yes, Pizza and Beer, the stuff of life:D

[who897]

I would prefer Captain and Coke and Chicken Nuggets.

That would work too :D

With all that empty space out there it is comforting to know that you will have the security of P and B at your side. :D

[Ausinus]

Pity I cant drink over here. Drinking age is too high:(

[freakazoid]

But, you can dream :D

[who897]

If the drinking age is 30 then yup it's too high.

[Ausinus]

The drinking age is 18 in Australia. And now its 21 over here T_T

[General Septem]

It should never be higher than the age of consent. I mean what the fuck is the age of consent for.

Of course it would be nice if they just stopped bullshitting us about prohibition having been repealed.

How did a thread on space colonization turn into a thread about prohibition?

[Ausinus]

I dont honestly know:P

[who897]

The bullshit forum works in mysterious ways Septem. Hell, stay on any one thread for too long it's gonna take a 90degree turn eventually.

RE: "How did a thread on space colonization turn into a thread about prohibition?"

It did so because we were talking about survival in space, and that lead to the realization of the need for a sufficient supply of Pizza and Beer to survive. The key issues now are the debate between dark beer and regular beer, and regular versus deep dish pizza. These issues must be discussed and solutions decided upon.

"It should never be higher than the age of consent. I mean what the fuck is the age of consent for."

I assume you mean the age of sexual consent?

How can a Christian fundy who believes in celibacy before marriage complain about under age protection laws?

Maybe as a catholic you just worry that an alter-boy may report you.

Dirty bastard.

Uncalled for comments and below the belt. Come on, you can do better than that. http://forum.bullshit.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

What is the age of consent in America anyway?

No, the age of consent. I've never heard it referred to as the age of sexual consent, it's just called the age of consent. It means (or implies) that one is old enough to make their own decisions. In reality, it means one is old enough to make their own decisions, just so long as they make the right decision because they'll go to jail otherwise.

I'm not a "fundy". I'm just a devout Catholic. I also believe in personal freedom. Excessive drinking is wrong, but a few drinks here and there is fine, and I'm entitled to make that decision for myself.

Aussie, it depends on the state. It's generally considered to be 18, but it's 17 in New York and I know it's at least as low as 16 or lower in other areas too.

[Ausinus]

Omg haha. Its 16 universally in Australia, and we have only like a quarter of the teen pregnancies that you do!:D

Not to mention the problem of accommodating people who want different toppings, such as onions, olives, peppers, pineapple, pepperoni, mushroom and anchovies. Another argument coming to rise is the daunting question of whether astronauts who hate anchovies should be placed on the same ship with astronauts who plan to eat anchovies, as the very sight of them can turn the most devout anchovy-haters off. :D

I agree, this also needs to be addressed and it brings up a grave concern for all astronauts seeking space colonization; that of the gas (after consumption) that anchovies produce. This gas can be useful but also deadly. Not to mention overwhelm the life support system. We are talking about the proverbial "fart in a space suit" dilemma. A lot of thought and planning needs to go into a solution for this problem …or it could get ugly. :eek:

These are all serious problems which need to be addressed:D

Perhaps we could power spacecraft on gas?

Yes, I think that might work. :D

Would the oxygen level in flatulance be enough to support combustion in the vacuum?

[freakazoid]

Would the oxygen level in flatulance be enough to support combustion in the vacuum?
Absolutely! And it would make great rocket fuel! :D


Buy a fart-powered rocket launcher and put that ass breath to use!

http://ninjamonkeys.co.za/media/farting.jpg (http://ninjamonkeys.co.za)

A ... missile is composed of a soft head and a tail extending therefrom formed by a piston. The piston is telescoped into the barrel of a launcher having a closed end on which is mounted an electrically activated igniter, the air space between the end of the piston and the closed end of the barrel defining a combustion chamber. Joined to the barrel, and communicating with the chamber therein, is a gas intake tube having a normally closed inlet valve. To operate the assembly, the operator places the inlet tube with its valve open adjacent [to] his anal region, from which a colonic gas is discharged. The piston is then withdrawn to a degree producing a negative pressure to inhale the gas into the combustion chamber to intermix with the air therein to create a combustible mixture. The igniter is then activated to explode the mixture in the chamber and fire the missile into space.

That might work, and as for ass gas produced, and the pollution, we might as well launch all that crap into space so that future extraterrestrial life forms know that we are a dirty disease filled society that gets so drunk that we chug pizza!!
