Topic: Colonising Planets - page 5. (Read 3748 times)

It will probably take centuries, but if our civilization will not crumble (which is quite likely actually) the exponential acceleration of technology at some point would make thinks possible which are now unthinkable, and at the same time it may make inevitable everything which now has just started to be thinkable.
There is a lot of future, and a lot of space. Most of the thinkable things will happen there.
As for us, we won't go anywhere, we're stuck on Bitcointalk

Yes I do believe we will colonize another planet.  Right now it looks like Mars is the most likely option and many people are working on doing that right now.  I do think it is beneficial to mankind that we explore other planets.  Who knows what will happen to out planet Earth. 

I agree with you. Humans don't have the habit of respecting the other species. They never admit that the planet earth is home to millions of other species, in addition to the humans. Now more than 90% of the world has been reserved for just one species, with the remaining 10% left for all the others. I don't want this to happen to the other planets.

I think if we're to make that move now it would only be a gesture of the unconscious to escape the mess we've created. Lets figure out what it is that has us suffering here before we vacate and literally divide social structures to just toxicate another planet of purity. 

I agree with this. I always get annoyed when people use the word we, as if we're all part of the same group. We discovered a vaccine for polio. No, some guy did. We went to the moon, no, that was NASA.

I think it's possible for humans to colonize a planet one day, but I do not like the idea that much. More precisely I would hate the idea of a corporation going over and ruining it for their own profit, rather than scientist studying it and not disturbing it to preserve and not taint the history that the geography shows.

Why leave the house?  I have everything I need here including food/love/work.  Human kind has always strive to go beyond its own capabilities.  We are taught to dream big and reach for the stars.  Hampering that due to nearsightedness or budgetary reasons is what will hamper us the most in the long run.

Instead of spending money and all those efforts in trying to travel to new planets and colonize it, why don’t we spend those money into making our planet better to live in and eradicate a lot of problems that we currently have like hunger and poverty.

So far, the earth is the only planet discovered that is sustainable for human life. The environment and condition of the other planets outside earth are too harsh for human beings to survive like the temperature and the atmosphere.

I don't believe that the human race will be able to colomize a planet in the near future. We haven't explored our own planet and there are still a lot of undiscovered things on earth. What more if we go out of our own planet. So I don't think it's feasible.

Yes humans will be able to colonize planets in the far future. In the near future Elon Musk is planing on colonizing Mars in 2025+(so i've heard). If he is able to do so this will be a great step in the expansion of humanity in the galaxy. We probably have to create stations on Moon to make future flights.

I think although interesting idea, very hard in reality. Lots of room left on earth and the planets far away plus expensive to make living areas there.

I don't think that the human race will be able to conquer or subdue another planet, much more establish a colony or a civilization elsewhere other than the earth. Sorry to say but the condition outside our planet is not suitable for human life.

All this we makes me want to pee so just before i go "we" will go to the stars and beyond it's "why" we have fingers and a brain to make things and fly through space ..OH i am bursting with the WE

This thread is science fiction. Why? Because the word "we" is misleading.

"We" will never go into space. "We" will never sail around the earth. "We" will never ride in a submarine. "We" never went to the moon. "We" will never go to Mars. "We" will never discover the cure for cancer. "We" will never do multitudes of the scientific things that are done anywhere. Why not? Because it is always "they" who are the ones who are doing it.

How many people who are posting in Bitcointalk ever rode the space shuttle? How many of you ever went to the International Space Station? Very few if any. It will be the same for colonizing other planets, if they are EVER colonized. None of us will ever do it. There is no "We."

The whole idea of "We" has to do with the organizers, the one-worlders, trying to get us all excited about something that doesn't have anything to do with our everyday lives, so that we support them in their endeavors. What are their endeavors? To take over the world. "They" are duping "us" into believing that colonizing planets is a goal. "They" are duping us through the use of the word "We."

You personally might see some good results of "their" duping, but there are all kinds of people all over the world who are getting negative results. Consider how many innocent people are being killed in Yemen, right now, because the one-worlders are uniting us under the word "We."

Get off it. You ain't ever going to any other planets.

I agree that it will be real in future but I will definitely die before that will happened. We still have too much things on the Earth to explore and it would take long time till we will be ready for colonizing.

I think people will start colonizing other planets only if they will join as a one human race under one Earth government as the result of global war or evolution of processes of globalization. And after that as the one race they will explore space and colonize planets

Not until we become Type II civilization.

I really want to believe that humanity will be able to colonize Mars in the future, not in my lifetime of course. I think it will bring new possibilities to people.

I dream of the day when humanity will set foot on new worlds and create colonies and extraterrestrial cities. I'm sure it's our destiny - to brave the void between the stars and to rule supreme over thousands of planets!
