Ok a month for humans but that's still damn good and the science looks solid!

Sure it's cold but we can fly!

Imagine a spaceship larger than earth, billions of miles away

governments? no thanks, the 1st thing they do is make weapons (and the last thing they do is use them).

musk and bezos/their corporate sucessors? you're kidding.

think about this, space programs only really require lots of brains working together. yes there are materials costs but most of the work is figuring out how the hell to do it and then very carefully building it by hand.

now think how many people put their time into all the shit (and some of its good shit for sure) on github.

it seems we just need to think bigger and help each other do this, not wait for somebody to set up a racket.

I don't get the whole idea that the colonisation of Mars, possibly Titan or the Galilean moons should be viewed as somewhere to move too, because we fucked the Earth. Too many volcanoes on Io, anyway... (not the nice vapour giving kind.)

Lets face it, terraforming any potential worlds can't be an easier task than cleaning up our little pale blue dot. I know that we have already reached some major environmental/ climate tipping points, but if people just got a grip on reality, and got their priorities right, we'd be just fine on old Terra Firma.

I still think we should colonise as much of the solar system as we can. After all, there's lots of big rocks flying around out there. Confining ourselves to just one planet is asking for extinction.

The real test for our species comes down to working out how to travel faster than light before we all die of stupidity related causes... nukes, plagues, climate change, continuing to subscribe to political philosophies that are geared toward consuming everything.

Nothing like kicking back with a packed vape and The Expanse on Audible.

leave the exploding phallus at home boys there is a better way

The first, the "minimal" missions, would occur between 1976 and 1986 and would use Apollo-level (that is, 1970) technology. The second, the "extended" mission, which was tentatively scheduled to occur in the 1982-1986 time period, would require technologies beyond the Apollo state of the art.

"Every Seat is a Window"

jim woodward had a revelation in the 1960s. since then he hasn’t stopped developing a propellantless drive that approaches the speed of light.

"When humans begin populating the universe with Noah’s Ark seeds, our destiny changes"

Nasa built the Em drive for efficiency but it appears to be emitting the space-time signature of a warp drive.

This could be our ticket!

Scrappy garage style is how we get to the next generation of space travel.
