Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Holy shit. Apple has money.... someone should pitch this.

This is what happens when Republicans grow bitter and turn their faces from the core of our political identity: America, Fuck Yeah.
AMFE: America!
Fuck yeah.

Honestly, neither of those locations should be civilian, but rather military or transport. Staging areas to extend our reach further. the kinds of ships we could build in a lower gravity environment that involves less strain to escape the gravity well would be inspiring.
we would need to go The Core on its ass
Culture, science, and quality of living doesn't trend upward for always, it needs to be protected.
Standard of living is going to be lower for every post Boomer generation and they keep stopping us from doing the things necessary to fix them. That's the trend I was talking about.
It's a solvable thing, I agree, and most of the time I think we'll be able to kick its ass and am optimistic, but ignoring the problem is goosey.

I'd love to be a part of their team. Climate change is like one of the top 3 threats to mankind right now and it'd be awesome to be at the forefront of fighting it. Alas. maybe I should get a master's in environmental science. But I want something big picture. not helping design a widget for a pump or whatever.
Didn't Science march on in China and even the Eastern Empire during the Dark Ages?
Like CCGs? Check my CCG's Thread in CF and help me playtest it!
Kerbal Space Program is already training a new generation of astronauts.
I am basing this opinion solely on my experience with Kerbal Space Program.

The largest problem. Can you create a magnetosphere, I wonder?
The fuck are you talking about? "Lost generation"?
and technological progress isn't lost or halted just because you're stopping your space program. Not even close.
It was a boon to general scientific progress of the world, but losing it just means a little less progress, not decline.
Would you rather be alive in ancient Greece or medieval England?
It is, the learning centers were shifted. It was no longer Europe and more Constantinople that became the centers of thought and philosophy. Which moved to Jerusalem, then back to Europe with the Renaissance.
The medieval period was pretty scientific, it was just mostly not the white people doing the science.
The magnetic field around planets is caused by the dynamo effect of the core's rotation inside the planet.
So blow nukes up down there to get the core moving again!
It blows very, very, very slowly away.
Have you finished 3? It really isn't worth it.
Not a spoiler, just an LOL Mass Effect 3's ending was bad.

There are more places than Greece and England! I would rather live in medieval Baghdad or Shanghai
Is that all it would take? Makes sense in theory since the orbit of the planet would help shift the core and keep it moving. Without an active tectonic system wouldn't it eventually stop again? Assuming it has a core that can be liquid. Hm. How the hell does the core stay liquid? Seems like it would get solid pretty quickly.
bah. I'm really worried at this point that I'll have ME3's ending specifically because I've been told it was bad so very many times.
Counting on my natural contrariness to help me enjoy the game!
I haven't seen this trend you're talking about. Income disparity is widening in the US, sure, but standards of living are better.
Standard of living in the world is most decidedly going up.
That view of the dark ages is a misinterpretation of history anyway.
fuck y'all we were never here
blow up our spaceships
pretend we never saw any of this
IIRC, ours remains the way it is because of how thick and dense our planet is. Mars being smaller would have cooled faster, same with the moon. But I am not a Scientist.
Well I was kidding about the nukes. Keeping the core moving and resuming tectonic activity is what's necessary for the magnetosphere to be rebuilt though.
They're giving us free DLC that expands the ending, I'm told.
This would, actually, fix all my problems with it. Everyone else is being stupid.
This was the Islamic Renaissance though.
The shuttle needed to be shut down and Constellation was an awful program from start to finish. The current plan, to get SpaceX and company up and running is the best option out there. NASA shouldn't be designing new rockets. They should be coming up with mission architectures that can use the existing plethora of rockets. We know we can assemble shit in space, just look at the ISS. The SLS is completely unnecessary and a joke. even if it gets built (which it never will) there won't be a payload for it to launch or a mission to support. It'll be horrendously expensive to operate and SpaceX will likely beat it to the punch with the heavy lift version of the Falcon. Basically NASA is doing a great job at what it was designed to do, which is pour money into certain congressional districts. Advancing mankind's presence in space, not so much its strength.
Where is @gooey ?

It takes a very, very, very long time for something as big and as hot as earth to cool down. Radioactive decay makes the process even slower.
Mars is a lot smaller, so it cooled a lot faster.
Also I'm pretty sure we have something like a billionth of the amount of nukes we'd need to melt Mars' core.
It appears that our solution, then, is a massive nuclear buildup!
