Just to touch on a problem but there.

Humans can live IN SPACE.

Ahhh no... We can habitat space. We really really can't live there.

We can't really give birth or develop in space, gravity unlike ours will eventually deteriorate our bodies, even on Mars you will go blind and start developing clots before too long just from the slightly lower gravity. And that's nothing of the radiation we are blocked from here on Earth.

The list is long and bad. We are adaptable but mostly on Earth adaptable. Able to survive climates and regions not everything ever. We can probably eventually figure out space but we can never just live there.

So when we destroy the planet we might really just take ourselves out too.

Of course we can. We could build a giant rotating shielded space station. We have all the technology, we just haven't done it because it's expensive.

I studied theoretical astrophysics as part of an earth and space exploration field.

Trust me, we really don't just have all the technology. That doesn't answer a lot of problems and you are assuming our level of science.

We might be able to figure out a good chunk of it if money is of no cost but that's no guarantee.

Man not even to talk about material cost. It would take us decades.

Yeah I am not inspired to actually bother answering that if you are coming into this without an expectation of an actual conversation.

It sounds more like you want a fight and that's not what I'm doing.

Space is not an easy answer. Even if you just want it to be.

I don't really like "trust me bro" takes on things.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah and you are doing the same. I pulled my credentials you just don't want to be wrong cause it hurts your feelings.

I'm asking for examples of how it won't work. I've given examples of how I believe it would work.
