Sensei Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 @Phi for All @koti I just described how terrestrial material is compared and detected with hypothetical extraterrestrial material. If extraterrestrial material has the same isotopic composition as Earth's, then you detect nothing! If terrestrial material has abnormal isotopic composition than "Earth's average", you are fooled!

The whole point of this is that one planet doesn't have to support such an enterprise. In fact that would be close to impossible but there are plenty of resources already in space, asteroids, Jupiter's Trojan asteroids, Kuiper belt objects, and those good old oort cloud objects not to mention such objects in interstellar space.

Moontanman Posted June 28, 2019 Author Posted June 28, 2019 This is an interesting short video about colonizing the galaxy via star motion. I still think that planets are unnecessary to the point that planets will be ignored and actively avoided. This gives a interesting slant.
