    I mean if you look at how the natural way of things tends actually to be something being "the natural way of things" seems like a pretty good argument that that way fucking sucks. Extinction is no exception.

    A good point

    It's like that bit in Jurassic Park that always bothers me a little, where Ian Malcolm is all "dinosaurs had their shot and then nature selected them for extinction"

    Nature didn't select shit

    A giant fuckoff rock hit the planet, Mother Gaia had dick all to do with that

    As far as costly endeavours with dubious benefits go, I sure prefer space exploration to wars of aggression or bombing campaigns

    There's a major difference to me between "a population gets out of control so without sufficient food or habitat they die out and the biome slowly corrects itself" and "a giant rock just happened to cross orbits with the planet your biosphere exists on and fucks up the climate for thousands and thousands of years"

    Like, yeah, they're both "natural" forces but the way it's phrased in the movie and the way people often talk about "the natural order" makes me think they're always talking about the Earth like it's fully in control of its own planetary destiny

    And naw

    Naw it ain't

    To be fair, the dinosaurs had no ability to stave off a rock in space, while we might. We're more readily adaptable to that situation than they are, so natural selection might apply here.

    My personal take is that we're eventually going to go out (if nothing else, the universe and/or its usable energy is as finite as anything), but I definitely would prefer to delay that.

    We all know the only thing waiting for us on Mars is demons anyway.

    Let's skip mars and go somewhere else.

    Yeah I gotta disagree with you there.

    A catastrophic sized impact is predicted to hit the earth every 100 million years. Life has been on earth about 3.5 billion years. That means it's happened around 35 times.

    To vaguely recall Rincewind, Earth's a nice enough place to visit, but staying there for very long just doesn't work.

    Is the next logical step to bring water bears to Mars and see if they can survive for any amount of time? Or is there a better candidate?

  • MuzzmuzzMuzzmuzz Registered User regular
    Is it weird that we're all excited about potentially colonizing Mars, while we haven't even set up anything on the Moon? After all that dick measuring contest known as the Space Race was finished, I'd have thought we'd at least have a multinational complex on it by now. Serves you guys right for not electing Newt Gingrich.
