Did the Atomic Age fulfill its promises?

did atomic technology really lead us to any progress?

Nuke power sourses is only way to explore outer solar system

Pic related is a counterexample to that

We haven't got there yet because everyone's pussy about nuclear.

It would have if it weren't for all the scaremongering cunts. Now we are still stuck on coal and oil.

Just a sample of some of the radiological methods of treating cancer
I'd say it lead us into some significant progress

A lot of that fear is spread by big oil, which also has many politicians in its pocket.

Some fears are justified

Is this what's keeping humanity down?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

How does nuclear energy advance agriculture? Besides cheap electricity.

This is a map of measured wave height after the Fukushima tsunami. Stop spreading this hippie bullshit.

No. It allowed society to grow to 8 billion but energy is not enough. Society wasted the energy and merely released energy into the environment, creating our climate energizing nightmare.

Take off your tinfoil hat

Fukushima was very fucking bad thing

cancer molecules generated by radiation. Scientsits use them to measure health risks and anything above 10 is just asking for it.

No it isn't. While it is true that solar panels are now up to the task of powering a Jupiter mission, farther out they're never going to be able to match a good rtg. Much less match an actual reactor.

1.6 million times more likely to die driving a car than to be killed by nuclear radiation.

Traditional radiation-driven mutation GMO. Spoilage prevention through irradiation. Back off and nuke kudzu from orbit; only way to be sure.

>tinfoil
foil is aluminum now, Grandpa

>any progress?
Yes, we are now able to blow up the planet and keep most of it uninhabitable for ages.

Yes knowledge is power so get learning but don't get tunnel vision

Yes. Just look at all those dead nips

And now you have alt hiemers heah.

I remember the day when crab clusters miles in diameter rolled on the seafloor. They're gone now like so many precious delicate things. Like you and me will be all too soon.

Jupiter isn't outer solar system, retard.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

No. Around the 60s and 70s we started putting everything int he hands of private companies, and sense then it's been nothing but stagnation and planned obsolescence. We are in a technological dark age. Technology, at least the major types of technology we use like transportation, energy production, etc hasn't significantly changed for decades. A car from the 90s is just about the same as a car from 2016, except there's more computer displays. Capitalism prefers that things be lazy and never change; that markets are always stable. So they lobbied and kept them that way. We should have had electric self driving cars 20 years ago. We should have technology that fundamentally changes society.

Bruh cars used to use tiny 90 hp engines to get 30+ mpg and now they have 200+ hp engines with better fuel Econ and 400+ hp cars getting 20+ mpg
You're stupid

We are literally living in (almost) world-peace since and because of the invention of the nuclear bomb, so yes: atomic technology has given us that at least.

fuck your hippie bullshit.

2016 a shit year for space missions
