You guys clearly didn't read the full blog post where Musk mentions lunar mining. They're going to put an ASML machine on the moon and turns regolith into chips and solar panels automatically. Literally free compute

If you believe that, you’re Musks target investor group.

I was skeptical until you mentioned this. Now I'm onboard

The comment you are replying to is definitely sarcasm… I hope?

Makes sense. I hope their plasma coolant supplies last long enough to get self sustained.

We can't keep our already perfect planet livable, but we're going to terraform a totally new one. Yeah right buddy.

They'll just mine up Hemium-3 for that.

It'd probably be easier to terraform than convince everyone it's possible.

I would, it would be an adventure.

You could have said the same thing about Europe or America. We could have just stayed in Africa, and the people like you did. But taking the leap worked pretty well, even if it was tough at the beginning.

Africa, Europe, America, Mars. I wonder if there is something about one of these that makes them unlike the others.

Actually, why not colonize Venus instead? Sure, it will be hard, at first, with all the sulphuric acid and intense heat and whatnot, but we colonized America, so why not Venus?

Earth keeps getting more livable!

We have a record high population, healthier and richer than ever.

Would you say that slaughtering Native Americans and enslaving Africans "worked pretty well" for them, or do you only speak from the White adventurer perspective?

Not my downvote, I know what you mean.

Much rather live way out in the boonies, as far away from civilization as possible.

Oh wait . . .

Godwin's law broke down re widespread geopolitical changes, and I think Poe's isn't far behind.
