Should we A) colonise other planets or B) build habitats in the middle of space, like O'Neill Cylinders and stuff? - Hexbear

Fuck these bazingas and their exhausting copium/hopium cocktail dependencies.

I'm heading out for a while, too tired for this shit. Fortunately, Drej stingers are so easy to fly, even Matt Damon can figure it out in a matter of minutes.

    Anyone who talks about ”colonizing planets” as if it's something that's actually going to happen is deeply unserious.

    Depends on what timescale you're talking about. e.g. if we keep building stuff for 1000 years (barring a catastrophe) then it'll presumably happen.

    Normal political thikning is different because it isn't on that kind of timescale.

      I was thinking within my lifetime, basically, which is also the timescale where climate change really starts to hit.
