Colonizing the universe

How far are the human race from colonizing the universe?

It's been a dream of humans for millenia to move into space.

Will I see a moon base with in the next 20 years? Why not ?

Will  we see mining of astroids soon ?

There is a concept , the space elevator on the table, only a few billion dollars. Is there a more benifitial project , for the human race,  anyware?

I like the space elevator idea, but I'm not really convinced it is practical engineering. The strongest material (carbon nanotubes) is scarcely strong enough in tiny quantities, and may not be possible to achieve on the huge scale required. One fault in the structure, a rip and ...

The moon is a nice challenge, offers several interesting scientific possibilities, but is a vast, expensive effort. Compare it to much easier spots like the South pole or the bottom of the ocean. Space is a bit like a huge desert, mostly very inhospitable and with huge transport costs between the places that are not quite so bad. Asteroid mining is appealling, but the material mined would have to be stupendously valuable to justify the cost until some sort of automated self-replicating technology leverages the cost of getting there.

Concerning Mars, no-one has adequately addressed the fact that the exposure to radiation involved for a human is a huge problem. It would be like being in the Fukushima recovery crew for a couple of years.

The human exploration and even maybe the colonisation of space will happen, but we're not close to ready. I want to see much more advanced unmanned exploration with intelligent automata. They can show us everything we could find by going there.

I must sound really cynical.

Didn't know that about corbon nano tubes, the articel i read specifficaly refering to CNT as part of the solution. There must be a better way to reach space than chemical rockets, my humble opinion.

Don't believe that money should be an obstical, personally i can't think of many better project to spend money on. Sure, there are may worthwile cause on earth.  

Mine's here on earth are also inhospitable place's, just a bit easier than space. Mining the sea, espesially deep is extremly expensive.

Really think we've got to grip with the danger's of radiation, and it's really dangers stuff.  Fukusima really is a sad situation although it also proves that we've come a long way to liveing in harmony with nucleur power.

Purely from a progress point of view i ask myself if these souldn't be some of the objects we sould be striving for ?

Sure smiffy. Even though there is such a thing as time dilation i think we missunderstand the impact of it.

Yes time is another dimension, and the only way i can understand the theory of relativity is via the lorenzo transformations, as a mathimatical and theoritical phinomina.

From a practical and logical point i don't think time travel is possible. Again just my humbel opinion, no impercal proof either way, other than the "time dilation experiment".

Yes, and all that only happens at atom, photon, elctron level. The rule's of nature and phisics at that level are not the same as the human scale. Some curve ball.

There will be a space war between the states and the world. The Dotard is going to make sure that the states develop the first space force. He is, in effect, breaking the treaty that states that space is not to be militarized by any power. With the states creating a space force, that will make the Russians and Chinese build their own space forces also. Unless the Dotard is overthrown, assassinated, or removed from power somehow, life on this planet is in danger of extinction because of the madman controlling the world's second largest number of nukes in the world.

With that said, I do not see any colonization of any place in the multiverse without war. We humans are never going to be advanced as long as the Dotard and his kind exist on this planet. Not only is he destabilizing the world, he is destroying everything science stands for. Colonization will not happen anytime soon now because of the tense relationship between the states and the world.

The elements , molecules break apart at very, very small velocities for all particles.  We can not build a space craft that will not do that.   But what we can do is fly around here at very low velocities.

Our universe (multiverse) is too vast for us to colonize. We don't even have the technology to explore the entire multiverse, let alone colonize it. We will never have the technology to go to every place in our multiverse.

The elements , molecules break apart at very, very small velocities for all particles. We can not build a space craft that will not do that. But what we can do is fly around here at very low velocities.   That's it.

Jacob Barnett. He is the current "Einstein." He has an ICQ ten points higher than Einstein. He graduated high school at age eight and went to college at age ten. He was working on his PhD at age fifteen. He was either going to debunk the Big Bang Theory or make it better. He was going to do the same with Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

NO, Space travel  (fast) will NEVER be possible because the atoms break apart.  You and the space craft will be dust.      Who is Jacob Barnett ?

Having an IQ ten points higher than Einstein does not mean someone is smarter or as smart as Einstein.  Einstein had imagination and other intellectual qualities.

They are creating a warp drive now as we are discussing about space travel. Jacob Barnett was a child prodigy who graduated high school at the age of 8 and started college at age 10. I believe he is known as the next Albert Einstein. He was working on a PhD at age 15. You can look him up. He has Asperger's Syndrome.

Well, that is true, but in Jacob's case, he is very intelligent. He was going to either improve the Big Bang Theory or debunk it. He was going to debunk or improve Einstein's Theory of Relativity. He will become very important in the scientific community. I believe he will be a huge changer in the scientific community. Maybe, he plays chess also??

You can research him and decide for yourself.

As for the warp drive, here is wiki:

I do not care about Astrology. I care about Astronomy.
