will any country ever do anything as cool as the voyager missions?or was voyager the peak of space exploration?
>>16381264The things in the coming decades are going to make Voyager look like a jokeWe're going to have a google maps tier resolution of every planet and moon in the solar system and then we're going to visit them and then we're going to move to them
>>16381264Future probes will be fully autonomous and maneuverable, but thanks to the planetary alignment, we'll probably never take advantage of such a unique opportunity in such a timely manner for a long time.I'm wondering what happens to the gold markets when picrel occurs near the end of this decade.>>16381991>then we're going to move to themHope you like the smell of your fellow citizens. Any move offworld will be an exercise in living in a radiation-proof bunker for your remaining years. Only the elite and meticulously trained will be allowed to walk around on the surface for a few hours a day.Virtual humans and AI will conquer the universe, not meat bags. This sounds outlandish, but some of the ridiculous plans to colonize (or worse, terraform) Mars are way more impractical.
>>16381991None of that beyond MAYBE imaging is happening in any of our lifetimes.
>>16382435>this scifi bullshit will happen instead, just trust me dudeYou can colonize Mars with tech we have now >>16382527Why? We're about there
>>16382575>We're about thereYou must watch shit like "Angry Astronaut" to be so fucking gullible and optimistic. Read up on Biosphere 2 and stop being such a Pollyanna faggot. We're not even close.
>>16382665>Biosphere 2 Biosphere 2 was an art project lol. The only thing to be conclusively derived from that project is that hippies are faggots. Could you be more specific about why you think Biosphere 2 is so damning? You say this every thread but don't explain it. Also angry astronaut has EDS
>>16382665>>16383072>>16383073
Hardly. My guess is unambiguous signs of life will be detected on Europa.
>>16381264The Habitable Worlds Observatory to directly image Earth-sized exoplanets around other stars will be even more based if it ever gets built
>>16382435>picWould you be able to stand on such a planet, or would you be, every once in a while, pulled off your feet and then pulled back down just as suddenly (ouch!)?
