Are we really on the verge of permanently missing out on being a space civilization? As far as I understand we're at a critical point where we need to conserve resources like oil, coal and copper, and use most of them to try and establish a Lunar mining base, so we can use the Helium-3 in regolith as nuclear fuel to power the whole Earth.
Of course, this all goes to hell if we start a nuclear conflict and resources get funneled into war.
From my understanding, this could effectively turn out to be our second "late bronze age collapse" type event, but on a global scale rather than centered around the eastern mediterranean like in antiquity. Just like how the ancient Greeks lost writing for 400 years, we might lose modern electronics and machinery, except this time permanently.
>miss the timing to exploit space while we still have some resources here on earth left
it's over
>nuclear war shakes humanity back 400 years and we no longer have easy access to oil and coal for a new industrial revolution
it's over
Can humanity really continue developing our technology if we do NOT manage to extract resources from Luna by the 2050s? Will easily accessible ores and fuels "run out", and have us regress back to a pre-industrial state? Assuming we can keep recycling current existing material. If not, we might be screwed, as early humans presumably gathered all the easily available surface-level copper and tin, modern humans took even the less accessible resources, and (in a few decades) we'll have burned all our oil and coal... we might not even reach the bronze age again.

Yes...for meth addicts, on spaceship Earf.
>New permanent supportive housing for the homeless in California, particularly in Los Angeles, frequently costs between $600,000 and over $800,000 per unit, with some projects exceeding $1 million.
You did, Redditonians! Its all gone. All of it. Money=gone. In fact its worse than that, you raised taxes on the rich who moved/moved the money but the state already spent it for the year, so a debt-bill will be handed to middle and lower income.
So money=debts unpaid now. Thats why they made unrealized gains a taxable income, so they can seize houses of ordinary people.

Thanks, bourgeois wanna-be champagne socialite "doctor", I will now kill a liberal jogger, overdose, and die fighting the cops, who you will then scapegoat to save my face not knowing I couldnt care less.
Also, you owe more money and drugs to my friends.

Solar has more or less infinite energy and can be used to manufacture liquid fuels for space launches if necessary. Also it's not like liquid fuels are going to run out run out, they are just going to get so expensive that it will no longer be worth burning them for power or in cars, there will be plenty of reserves for things like military uses, space flight and even aviation.
Weather the economic shocks lead to war or not is another matter entirely but the idea that the world will run out of energy has long since been obsolete.

shut the fuck up retard. who cares about your anti solar propaganda. we're talking about space, like adults.

we need to focus on colonizing titan with robots, and sending fuel back, and making a digital vr paradise there. then we all upload our minds as ai, kill ourselves irl and basically leave earth forever.

That's monopolies doing their thing. But the other half of the equation is Cali legitimately has too much solar now. The new incentive structure is to get customers to buy battery walls.

>propaganda
LOL...no, kiddo, that was what tricked him into buying $20,000 worth of solar thinking the state would credit him a discount and instead charged hin extra through legalese.
Not reading the rest, youre just (((saying words to win))) because youre a psy-op'd kid with no sense of truth or justice.
Alright...one more.

The ultimate monoloply is the state, and the revolving door of politicians going from corporation to government means the means of production HAS been seized...why would you think YOU would own it?! Thats bourgeois kulak thinking and will get you mass graved from counter revolutionary stances.

You must first explain how moon walks were possible then and impossible now...how did NASA lose technology like the pyramid builders of Ages ago?
Every post WAS about space...but you rejected the mirror's horror.

Escape from Earth is escape from the reality is escape from the self...personal hells seeking personal Jesuses and rejecting both and ensuring only one.

Why? Copper is recyclable. Oil and coal are abundant and can be synthesized.
>He3
I might care when an working He3 fusion generator exists.

You have watched too much pop science history channel. Electricity is not going to be unlearned.

I struggle to see how someone can be this stupid. Especially uploading to a server that you don't own and have admin control over. Your file will get a few moments of cpu time, be stored and then deleted.
