Then our instincts kind of suck given all the war, genocide, global warming, pollution, nuclear weapons, etc.

You should try asking them in a pleasant way. This is a discussion forum after all.

Could A Space Shuttle Get To The Moon?
zapatos replied to Photon Guy's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
The shuttle was not retired because it could not go to the moon. It was never intended to go to the moon. If it hadn't been retired no one would even have considered rehabbing it to go to the moon. I'm not sure why you are having such a difficult time with this. -

I feel like I'm reading a food blog. -
Perhaps not everyone agrees with you.

Man suffocates to death from blocked nose during sleep.
zapatos replied to LaraKnowles's topic in The Lounge
It actually says that on every medical website? I'd kind of be surprised if they stated that on even one website. Maybe it is listed where they state that humans eventually die. You can't seriously be unclear about whether humans breathe through their mouths, sleeping or not. Are you trolling us? -
I think that the objects around a larger object do NOT depend on the gravity waves of the larger object in any meaningful way.

A solution to what? -
Male ducks have clockwise corkscrew-like penises. When a female duck is not interested in the male's advances she tightens up her anti-clockwise corkscrew-like vagina to prevent the male from achieving his full (amazingly long) erection. Mother nature certainly has a sense of humor. https://www.sciencefocus.com/nature/duck-penis-corkscrew

Yes, thank you. Yes, that way too. Funny how what you are thinking can get lost in translation on the way to your fingers. -

No, the space shuttle could not go to the moon as it didn't carry enough fuel. The space shuttle never escaped earth's velocity. -

How do you feel about being a placeholder for your descendants 100 generations from now? You were born and raised on earth, got an education, a job, ate food, etc. Basically you lived your life with the built in constraints that come with your environment. Being born on a starship would be similar; you live your life based on the constraints of your environment. If you leave earth you are embarking on a journey for a brand new life. Just like many of those did who crossed the Atlantic hundreds of years ago. Even the second generation will not likely long for earth as they have never known it.

We already have spacecraft that move fast enough to reach other star systems. There is no required minimum velocity required to travel that far. What is required (among other things) is an appropriate amount of time. Most velocities we achieve will ensure that whomever embarks on the journey will die before reaching the destination. Since we would already need to figure out how to survive for generations in space for such a journey, does it really matter if that is three generations or 100?

As a representative said today, things weren't nearly so chaotic when George Santos was speaker.

Can you please explain why the highlighted section is true? I'm curious why slowing down didn't also use roughly 8kg of fissile fuel per kg of payload thus increasing the fuel needed to 16kg per kg of payload, rather than 75kg.
