she's got a point
>>16957088
>>16957088>woman thinks the conquest of the final frontier is pointless because there's no one to talk toBeyond parody
>>16957105Shes unironically right
>>16957109The main issue is we can't actually go beyond the moon. A Mars trip would take 6-9 months and the planet isn't inhabitable. It is basically pointless to send humans to space except as a means to develop more technology.
She's 90% right. The other 10% is we should go there every once in a while because it's cool, like going on a trip to Zanzibar or Tanzania like once.
>>16957116Strip-mine it all.
>>16957105All you really want to conquer is greater israel, we goyim are just selfish rats right?
>>16957148China already produces bridges to nowhere, half finished apartment buildings with nobody in them, millions of tons of stainless steel beams just lying around because nobody needs it.We already have all the resources and nobody needs them for anything.
>>16957088Looks like The Guardian's writers are competing for who can have the worst take about this.
>>16957088There is literally everything to see in space.
>>16957170Name one thing
>>16957105You will never go to space, trekkie :)
>>16957109Not having to listen to nagging bitches is reason enough to go.
>>16957187Why do you hate white people and our culture of respecting women so much Patel?
>>16957088Tbh I don't think it will matter as NASA's already facing budget cuts thanks to funding being diverted to the war. They'll likely manage to stretch funding and put men on the moon again, but then Trump and co. will axe the moon base plan in favor of whatever war he's brewing by then. Moon base was always an unrealistic dream that was to give all of this a "purpose", but current American politics and world geopolitics do not really care about this when the logistics of its functioning need far more support than the ISS and the ISS itself was a nightmare of international co-operation to pull off.
>>16957311>he has not been to a fucking desert or at seareally, some time spent on ships at sea or traveling between desert towns would help these privileged white trash realize that a good chunk of exploratory travel for most of civilization involved exactly this, and that you get past the "deep sadness" and "grief" after your captain/master explorer gets you a serving of liquor.
>why do men climb mountains?foids will never understand
The greatest journey is within ourselves.
>>16957311Counterpoint: Shatner is an obese weak minded faggot who spent half his life larping on tv sets next to people in rubber alien masks. His opinions are shit, shat if you will. The void is not "death", but that's just what he ascribes to it in his feeble mind.
>>16957369>His opinions are shit, shat if you will.
>>16957311>w-waaaaah the universe isn't filled with already habitable planetsyeah, and it's our duty as a species to change that, what a limpwristed faggot. this false dichotomy between>we need to protect the earth OR go colonize other worldsneeds to fucking stop, we can do both, as a matter of fact doing the latter will help with the former.>b-but it's hard and will take a long time!not an excuse.
This is easily the most Reddit thread on 4chan right now
>>16957088Is that point that a woman’s opinion about anything is worthless?
>>16957105it's already been conquered
>>16957088if everyone thought like that wed all be stuck wherever humans first evolved. some humans have always wanted to explore and go where no one has gone before. its important that we get out there now and learn how to survive out there in steps, instead of having to figure everything out at the same time when the sun enters is red giant phase and swallows this planet. I'd rather space living be comfy and have all the kinks works out way before we are forced to live there instead of just visiting.
>>16957396Why get so mad at shat's realizations? not to mention he is correct with everything he posted. Human have (and continue) repeatedly shit in the only nest we have.
>>16957453>why get madmore disgusted by>not to mention [tranny fanfiction]he isn't.we must indeed put more effort into protecting this earth, moving off-world is the best way to do that.
>>16957449>when the sun enters is red giant phase and swallows this planetwill never happen, IFLS cuck, much like your going to space
>>16957468you seem obsessed with labeling everything you disagree with 'tranny'. What's that all about?
>>16957148>>16957116>Takes months to get there>Basically uninhabitable>Shitloads of iron and mineralsmars is the new early colonial era australia
>>16957527Imagine Marsabos
>>16957617>Can't get home cuz an abo drank your rocket fuel
>>16957527>abbos sleeping on the launch pad
>>16957527Somehow I don't believe the air on Mars is as thin as they sayThe sky there in the bottom pic looks plainly blue, like on earth
>>16957641It depends alot on the image processing
>>16957665Also mars has blue sunsets which are kind of neat, the atmospheric dust and whatnot filters to allow more blue light as opposed to the red/orange here on earth.
>>16957088Real aliens that go into in space could reverse the galaxy and go back home in the same afternoon.
>>16957389>i'm tired>my feet hurt>i don't want to be around anymore
>>16957667Interesting how in the Martian sunset, the sun is less distorted because of the thin air.
>>16957453Because Shatner spent his entire career living in a fake version of space. What is up with this troon fantasy of space being where you can fly to Alpha centauri in 5 minutes and find aliens who could turn your dick inside out for you? Star trek and star wars have both done irreparable damage to the public perception of space.
>>16958392>where you can fly to Alpha centauri in 5 minutes andwe just need to invent warp drive and then this becomes feasible.
