Comment on Do our human accomplishments have a long-term, universal significance, or when the world ends, do we all end with it, including what we’ve achieved?

The check list of shit to-do to colonize something not on earth is pretty long. We still have to

-Find a more reliable way to get to space than sitting on an explosion.

-Figure out how to make faster ships so we get someplace cool in a reasonable amount of time. (Generstion ships are hard)

-Figure out the life support requirements for long term voyages.

-Figure out how to produce all required items on said colony (Looking at you STCs from 40k)

-Figure out how to come back to earth without packing twice as much fuel. (Or not, hopefully we don’t fuck things here up that baddly)

Finally, there is a time limit to get this shit done. Either climate change or kessler syndrome will punch our ticket and there will be no humans outside of our unfashionably small blue-green mud ball.

I applaud the optimism, I cant say that I have the same.
