I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.
I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.
Bill Bennett@nickofnz I’m OK with a city on Mars so long we can send all the people responsible for the other items on your list to live there and it doesn’t destroy any more of our planet getting them there.
@billbennett yeah I could live with that
leighelse{}@billbennett @nickofnz Also we should plot their trajectory for maximum economy. It doesn't matter if they take eighty years to get there, as long as it uses less fuel.
@leighelse @nickofnz I don't actually think it will happen... at least not in the next 100 years. We may get a human or two there at a pinch... we may even manage to get them home again. But that will be the sum total.
Axomamma, Antifa from birth@billbennett @nickofnz I'm fine with a little bit of damage.
Quincy ⁂Too expensive to get them all there.
A simulation should be enough
(given that some tech extremists peddle the idea that "we live in a simulation", they can't even really complain!)

Our planet is already destroyed. How can we bring it back to life?

Sharon 🤦🏾♀️ Persists@nickofnz I want the birds to survive.

Why not both? Both is good. Except the AI bit, 'natch.

Michel PatriceWe don’t think about bees as often as we should.
Robots can be gay deal with itReal AI would also want clean water, a stable climate, and bees to survive.
We have advanced godsays in our apps.

Wenzel Massag@nickofnz I agree, but a research lab on the Moon and Mars would be neat.
Olli Graf🚟@nickofnz "I want it all. I want all and I want it now!"

Taran Rampersad@nickofnz Clearly, people like us are the selfish ones. 🙄

Joachim Bondo@nickofnz Yes! Lovely post.
Martin Rundkvist@nickofnz
Agree. Also I don't want any billionaires.

Reinald Kirchner@nickofnz As long, as problems are properly solved on earth, I would be excited about colonies on moon, mars and elsewhere. But, I rhink they won't prioritize accordingly.

How is clean water, bees, and climate negatively impacted by a city on Mars? Or any space industry? Launches. But it's not a significant source.
Space industries help us see the climate in perspective. Our planet is precious, and we need to access the solar system to protect it, and bring the functionally limitless power and material out there to help us here on Earth.
How much do rockets pollute?
Some might find it ironic that an organization like NASA, who studies our atmosphere, is ok with rockets polluting it so much. Or isn’t it weird that Elon Musk, the same person who is pushing sustainable energy with Tesla also has a rocket company that runs on fossil fuels? So today we are going to do a deep dive into this. We are going to see just how much of what rockets emit, go over how much different fuels and engine types pollute, then we will compare their emissions against other forms of transportation and other global polluters.

Charlie the Anti-Fascist Dog@nickofnz we need more like you running stuff and fewer of these assholes we’ve got now.
Giddy Gopher@nickofnz Stuff like this! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkirk_Wheel
Lots of things... and really people who are only interested in tech for some profit motive aren't really interested in tech. They're interested in profits.

Ainsley Lowbeer@nickofnz I'm OK with the city on Mars, but yeah.
