of course i wasnt serious Ok thats a very good point about technology catching up to quick and if we did send out a ship it would probably be caught up by a newer model a few years later, but if you think about it that could be an advantage because they could run supplies back and forth quicker if needed or transport upgrades for the main mother ship. quote: "I would consider any attempt to just take 500 or so people and leave as the worst possible example of calous abandonment ever concieved. " I was using that number as an example which shouldnt be taken seriously, hopefully one day if we did manage to produce this ship we could find a distant life supporting planet and transport ppl back and forth or if needed build a few of the ships to accomadate the whole planets population. (this would take a stupidly immense amount time and effort and this is not what im trying to support!)

Ok ive seen alot of debates of ppl who either oppose this idea or are picking faults rather than trying to evolve the idea. Ok the idea might not be perfect and it may have faults at the moment but that is why i posted it!! im pretty sure that if one day we did have to come up with a way to escape this planet and its to late to do anything about it, the people who could of made this idea a reality instead of doubting it, Maybe just maybe one day it could of saved some of the human race those people would feel dumbstruck!! The water splitting machine was a very good idea has there been a prototype build yet? Thanks to those who have contributed to the thread. "When Presented With A Challenge I Think, Not RUN!!!"

If we were all planning to leave the planet, the whole of mankind then we could hopefully try to take with us as much water as possible, then try to use recycling machines and a form of distillation in the ecosystem's environment to prolong its use but eventually it would be hard to use!! This is my only problem with the plan water?? What to do cos everything needs water? This could be the new question for the thread to debate. How would we recycle or solve the water problem plz post if you have any ideas!

true it would cost alot of money but that's the problem why do we need to put a price on everything why not say money should be no object for something this important! I see what you mean with the international space station but it is falling apart and it was supposed to be crashed into the ocean some time soon!! so maybe we cant use it. Ecosystems are only as good as the plants and organisms which sustain it like our planet we used it wrong now its got holes in the ozone layer. So if we created a fully working ecosystem the question is not can it sustain us but can we sustain it! thx

"Yea it would be better if we didn't. It would be better if any country didn't. You concentrate only on the US as a scapegoat because so far you have claimed no responsibility." I have i live in the uk we produce 2% of the pollution stop trying to say im just picking on the usa, im not im just saying things would be better if they would pitch in and do their bit to heal what we all have damaged!! As for the source of the stats go to sky news sites or bbc news 24 site and type in climate change or polar caps it should come up! If the above reveals nothing of any interest then go to any search engine and type global pollution statistics!!

why colonize a planet and be in the same position in a few decades because of technology growth! (and yeah i do like the !!! lol) Why stay marooned on a planet when you could find if you travelled through space a cluster of habitable planets or better yet intelligent\primative beings!! I know which id choose.

But it wouldnt be to bad if your country would sign the treaty to cut carbon emissions! but it wont and thx severian i was gonna point out france also britain produces 2% of the pollution because we use wind turbines, and tidal power along with others such as solar power so america has no excuses there are other power sources but they refuse them all for oil!! Im not making it up check the news sites for the pollution statistics!!! Juststuit!!

The individual states should come together and decide amongst themselves who to follow youselves or a crazy president!!!

You cant argue with Statistics, "America Is addicted to oil" Your president's very words and the biggest irony is hes one of the biggest oil barons out of Texas!! lol America produces 40% pollution u cant argue with that No scapegoat needed u buried yourself!!

Good Explaining ^^ i understand now yeah i am quite lucky to have her live next door !! thx again!

Maybe we havent got the technology or the will at the moment to construct my dream ship but in recent news the north polar cap has melted faster than we ever thought possible and soon will be beyond repair! The sea will rise 7-8 metres and the global temperature will rise slowly which will increase the melting process at the poles. So soon we may need to construct something like my ship in order to survive because with climate change we are talking more violent hurricanes, storms and tornados not to mention earthquakes resulting in mass volcano eruptions which could force a whole new atmosphereic change from an oxygen rich air supply to a carbon dioxide wastland. Earth could become so chaotic that we could not adapt to survive on its surface or oceans. So yeah i think we may need it very soon and i blame america they produce 40% of the worlds pollution and are refusing to cut down and sign the treaty to promise pollution cuts.

dont you think that money is a stupid thing to worry about!! The human race proposed currency during the middle ages but it just seems stupid how it is gonna prevent us for advancing in space. So what your saying is that it would cost to much.......To Who? if money is man made surely when you hand sombody a £10 note its just a piece of paper with a picture on it!! When constructing something like this money should not be an issue as it is wouldnt be much use anywhere other than this planet!! but if you say money is no option then you could contruct a ship that could take us to places we could only dream of!!! Now if i had to choose a lot of money of a trip into space i would choose space!! Richard branson spends millions every year on space research and exploration, so do NASA so do u think they would say the same as me about the money or space exploration!!! "and how exactly do you propose we get water?" The ship could have watertanks aboard storing alotof water then using distillation to purify the water after human consumption. This could be acheived by setting the appropriate environment in the ecosphere!! I see what you mean about the ecosphere failing on earth but whos to say they had done tests on which is the best plantlife to produce oxygen and the best to remove carbon dioxide. Logically it would be best to pick a species of plant which is indiginous to every region of our planet this would demonstrate a good survival rate amongst this species. Example: Furn Plants and Long grass, algae would be a good species to keep in the ecosphere as it supplies the majority of the earths oxgyen. I hope i have help portrait my idea better thank you Keep reading!!

Who thinks we are wasting time on the space exploration side of things, to many unmanned missions. I thought by now the governments would of started to construct a spaceship in space because then the size wouldnt be an issue because you wouldnt have to lauch it through our atmosphere. What they could do is build a massive city like ship capable of accomadating up to 500 maybe more ppl easily. Oxygen can be sustained by a huge ecosphere in the center of the ship containing all forms of plantlife which is rich in oxygen output and carbon dioxide input. Which would be grow and cared for by computerised sprinklers supplying recycled human water before the fresh supply. With this many ppl aboard and a constant supply of air the ship could venture far out in to the galaxy further than we have ever gone before!!! This may seem like a crazy, sci-fi idea but looking at how fast our technology is evolving the above idea may be the best thing to do before our technology evolves to kill us!!!! If you like my ideas please contact me on strangey_boy@o2.co.uk i always reply thank you. Bye

When you look at any Solid object at a molecular level all the molecules are tightly packed together moving fractionally in all directions, but in a Liquid and Gas the molecules are widely spread apart more so in the Gas which allows us to travel through water and oxygen. If you could construct a wall with the molecules are spaced evenly apart this would allow it to be walk through and to make it solid a freezing chemical can be used to stop the molecules on the spot instanty causing the wall to become solid. This may just be a load of old **** but its been on my mind eversince my girlfriend moved in next door and we wanted to get rid of the joining wall but counldnt because of council lol If you believe you can further this idea please contact me on Strangey_boy@o2.co.uk Thank you

We are all stuck on light why light it has been completely studied and experimented with. Instead of knowing the speed of Light we should try to discover the speed of Time.... How would you calculate the speed of time? Normally to calculate the speed of something you must calculate the time and distance it travelled but how can you calculate a distance that time travels? The only reason nobody has created a time machine yet is because we have no idea of the components or parts required to build one. If you could travel faster than the speed time, i believe the person inside the travelling vessel would either break out of our timeline only to land in another, or would exist outside the timeline thus experiencing no effects of time i.e: Ageing. I do not believe it would be possible to go back in time only forward this could be acheived by really exceeding the speed of time to slingshot yourself forward, but it would be hard to judge time gaps! Time is constant in one place but has variations over a large planet surface which means it has a speed which can be beaten, but its probably Very Fast! I have a few more theories which i will be posting very soon so if you like my work please keep reading. If you agree with my theory i would love to hear your thoughts and findings plz email me on.
