EtherealN Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Speed, you must have a great Security Clearance to know what we have and don't have?, but interesting all the same!:music_whistling: Cheers all!! I sure the truth would not be posted here!!!! No specific security clearances are required to know anything of what he spoke about. Don't assume everything that uses the words "plutonium" and/or "reactor" is automatically classified. Like Speed said, Plutonium 238 has no application as a weapon simply through not being fissile. Think of it like Plutonium's equivalent to Depleted Uranium (which, "fortunate for itself", did find military application and is therefore not getting the axe. :P ).

PlainSight Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) It may be that interstellar space flight is not done by advanced civilizations on a regular basis simply because it is very expensive, and there is not as much motivation to do it as we might think. Once a civilization acquires the technology and the resources to actually attempt an interstellar voyage, it may have also solved the problem of self-sustaining colonies in space. If your colony can sustain itself using just the materials mined from an asteroid or comet, and the energy derived from say, nuclear fusion, then the motivation to leave your home system is much reduced. Why do you need to find a new home? You don't need to, you can live anywhere. Edited August 12, 2012 by PlainSight [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealN Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 There's a pretty big difference between what he is talking about (love him btw, so looking forward to his re-imagining of Sagan's 'Cosmos' series), and interstellar space travel. The point Speed is making, which I might agree with, is that by the time we have the technology to "easily" do interstellar space travel, there'll also be huge advances in all other areas of technology, so civilizations that do get to that capability might simultaneously simply not have any motivation to bother; and the few that do bother might end up so far apart from each other that even cosmological time isn't enough to let them meet each other.

Speed Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 OK, I wasted some time, and put together a little game. You think you know your own planet? Let's see. (I gave away two of the answers a few posts ago, but I'll post them anyway :) Consider them freebies) Mars or Earth? Expand the spoiler below to view the 13 images, and reply which you think is Earth, and which you think is Mars. I'll give answers later (assuming people actually "play"). 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) (this one should be easy ;)) 6) 7) 8 ) 9) 10) 11) :music_whistling: ;) 12) 13) Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

Pilotasso Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Some of them are obvious, the clouds in some of them are earth like (mars has much less watter to form big vapor clouds, most are dust clouds), the one with the small unknown rover is also earth, the long range horizon is also a clue since mars the horizon is much shorter and you cant see very far due to the much smaller planet radius (about half as much as earths). But yeah, mars is much like an earth arid desert (if you ignore the fact you cant gauge atmo pressure just by looking at them) earth photos that Im almost sure: 3 4 5 8 12 (too much erosion marks on that crater) mars: 2 6 the rest Im not sure, I would have to be a pretty damn good geologist to tell just by the rocks and sand Edited August 16, 2012 by Pilotasso [sigpic]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic4448_29.gif[/sigpic] My PC specs below:Case: Corsair 400C PSU: SEASONIC SS-760XP2 760W Platinum CPU: AMD RYZEN 3900X (12C/24T) RAM: 32 GB 4266Mhz (two 2x8 kits) of trident Z RGB @3600Mhz CL 14 CR=1T MOBO: ASUS CROSSHAIR HERO VI AM4 GFX: GTX 1080Ti MSI Gaming X Cooler: NXZT Kraken X62 280mm AIO Storage: Samsung 960 EVO 1TB M.2+6GB WD 6Gb red HOTAS: Thrustmaster Warthog + CH pro pedals Monitor: Gigabyte AORUS AD27QD Freesync HDR400 1440P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
