🤔wish I could code...
Can't the powers that be at reddit just flip a switch somewhere and remove the mods' ability to make subreddits private? Presumably if they could they would have done so by now (but if not, 🤫!!!)
Right, I didn't necessarily see it as an either/or type thing--I think we can and should do both!--however, if it does come down to one or the other, it's got to be earth first.
Does Zubrin have any ideas about mitigating the effects of low gravity on humans? The only thing I can think of are these little personal sleep centrifuges I read about somewhere that would approximate earth gravity for at least part of the time.
The magnetic field issue is a biggie, and would have to be addressed before any large-scale colonization efforts could begin, but is hypothetically solvable.
I must confess to being somewhat disappointed by BookWyrm; however I think it's still very early days over there. I wish them all the luck in the world, and hope they can dethrone Goodreads which is owned by amazon and is therefore evil. I'll be checking on them periodically to see how they progress.
Hypothetically, yes. Keep in mind that even if we could travel at the speed of light it would take something like IIRC 3-4 years to reach Proxima Centauri, and even then I'm not sure there's anywhere suitable to land. 🚀
At this point, honestly just a spreadsheet that gets synced from laptop to phone with syncthing. Boring but effective.📚
