Thank you, Joncey. I'll look into this one as well, if I can find it

You can't correct global climate change.

It's you know. Inevitable no matter what we do.

Semantic. We can correct the practices that are accelerating it.

...

CLIMATE CHANGE, EITHER FOR WARMER OR COOLER IS INEVITABLE. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THAT EVEN IF YOU KILL EVERY LAST PERSON ON THE PLANET.

The end.

we could change that if we blew the entire planet up

That would be rapidly accelerating global warming.

I guess we could push the earth out beyond range of any heat source so that it would stabilize in temperature.

Did you miss what I said? If we can delay catastrophic change for even 100 years, we may be able to colonize in space and keep the species going.

Or are you saying human activity has no effect on climate?

We can't delay catostropic change, because it can happen whenever it feels like happening regardless of the human element.

Life in space would be horrible. I like my water thanks.

Humans are gonna blow each other up before the climate matters I think.

Life in space would be awesome

I need cite only one example;

Zero G sex.

but then youd have stuff floating around.. thatd be pretty dangerous

<Insert Orbital Space Colony Plug>

You have no sense of adventure.

No one no one will date you. You're such a bore!

You fail at nature boy for not wanting to continue the species.

Or something.

Also fail at understanding space as an environment.

He also fails at zero gravity sex!

I was talking about the potential to run into your own baby batter. :/

I've got adventure, but I prefer the nice wide open earth to a little box in space.

Have you ever used a condom?

I mean it's seriously no different than stewing yourself in your own baby batter.

Obviously sex in zeroG would have to be safe sex. Although I am unsure if a womans can even conceive in zero gravity.

OBVIOUSLY SOME ASTRONAUGHTS NEED TO GET BUSY FOR SCIENCE.

I suppose thatd make it all work. I would imagine spacebabies to have some serious problems.. especially if they grew up out there.

What's that? Gravity in space you say? Proposterous!

building an o'neill cylinder that large would require an entire planet's resources as well as some hypothetical structural material to withstand both the tremendous stresses of rotating something that gigantic and the destructive corrosion we call life.


Actually I'm of the opinion that they will never be practical. Even if we do master the technology required to construct them, the chances of a catastrophic failure are much too high. We'll probably be able to build a Dyson sphere enclosure before we have the technology to make O'Neill cylinders safe. Of course, if James Bond gets off his *** and discovers artificial gravity the whole point is moot.

vinny dont worry about the planet were a blip on its radar we'll be long dead before any harm comes to it
