Also, no one has made the baseline genetic code for cat girls yet.

Artificial flavors that actually taste like the real thing.

Artificially flavored banana tastes exactly like the Gros Michel banana which was the type of banana everyone was familiar with before it went extinct in the 1950's. When you eat something that's artificially flavored as banana you're tasting an extinct species.

1. The gros michel is not extinct, it is available locally in many places bananas are grown. It is simply not feasible for largescale farming.

2.banana flavour is a concentration of a chemical respobsible for flavour in ALL banana. It is at a much higher concentration which is why it tastes different. Gros michel Has more of this chemical, but not nearly enough to taste like banana flavouring.

An alternate universe with very regular gravitational waves and gravity wave surfers would make for an excellent scifi series.

we can't make socialism work

A zombie apocalypse!

>curing baldness
Daniel Tosh begs to differ.

underrated post

but user much of europe and canada is socialist right now

and it doesn't work

Wouldn't better control of energy waves or even sound in general be the key to producing those?

This is a myth, scandinavia is more capitalist than the US in many ways. A robust welfare state does not infer socialism.

Wait, is that what the alcubierre drive does?

>catgirls
God damnit I'm not getting any younger, Science!

If we threw enough money it, could we make asteroid habitats?

Let's say for whatever reason we needed to get as much of the World Population off the Earth ASAP. Like, extinction level event, so we have a Blank Check to do this. How quick could we capture some asteroids to Orbit, and start mining them to hollow them out and start building habitats inside? How much of the tech have we already worked out?
Could we have the first one ready in 20 years? 50? 100?

Might as well make wormholes as well. Causality is a gigantic fucking bitch.

What if you had an infinite amount of lifetimes to search for your answers?

Our creators took it from us.

We're more stable than EVER. Read some history, I'm not joking either. Just two thousand years ago we were in a state of constant warfare, ritual killing, cannibalism, fratricide, etc. It seems bad right now, but it's actually the most peaceful time in history.

not in your lifetimes, get rekt son

*gets shot*

We can

Still not stable. We are doomed to fail eventually.

electronics based on metalls and not semiconductor

White children.

we could have done that since the 80s
It's an engineering problem, not a technological one
Hydroponics, air tanks and scrubbers, air conditioning, and the mining and refining equipment to supply them
that's all you need for a habitat, everything else is just to make that habitat useful and worth living in

where you making that elevator
From earth to geo, we ---probably--- don't have the material science to pull off, but the moon, mars, and any smaller body could all have an elevator with known materials
You could build one on the moon out of kevlar, for example

Fusion reactors are an engineering problem, not a scientific one
We know what the process of fusion is, and how it is caused, our issue is how to efficiently mirror the process and successfully extract energy from it while keeping the reaction going
if fusion was not possible nor energy positive, the sun would not exist, so by continuing our so far quite successful research, we'll inevitably figure out how to keep the plasma flowing and the engines glowing

Terraforming is a easy thing, you take gasses and ice/water from places, and dump the shit on what you want terraformed, how quickly it works depends on how many ships you have hauling shit, and how much shit you are hauling per ship
it'll take a long ass time, on the order of centuries for mars, but it is entirely possible under known technology to do it

>Just two thousand years ago we were in a state of constant warfare
Nigga we still are. Technology has merely changed the means by which wars are waged, and the distances that power can be projected. Every "peacekeeping mission" and every antagonistic relationship with terrorists is a war we're engaged in. We've just deluded ourselves into thinking a war is only a war when gentlemanly declarations were exchanged.

What do theta, alpha, and Tr(k) mean? Or is this just bullshit?

Why should we care about some shitty carbonate?

>You could build one on the moon out of kevlar, for example
Except the moon doesn't have a spin. Unless you were to place the elevator between the Earth and Moon, and hope it stays up due to Earth's gravity canceling out the space elevator's weight.
I think the elevator would need to be twice the length of Lagrange point 1 for it to work. Is this correct? How far is that?

>curing baldness
>I dont know basic biochemistry
There is a way and nobody gives a shit.

Weeeeeeeell user, the moon does spin, it just spins so that the same face always faces earth.

Quantum computing
Truly renewable energy, solar wind, and tides don't count.

>Quantum computing
Its at meme stage.
So far away it aint even funny.

Asteroids are the preferred habitat for humans off Earth since you can hollow them out, stick a cylinder inside and rotate it to simulate gravity.

Scandinavia is way more capitalist then my country

we are actually living in the most peaceful time in recorded history

Comfy :3

Free and open source software that doesn't crash and is actually usable.

No.

weeeeeeeell user, the moon doesn't spin, it just rotates around the earth, there is a difference.

It depends what you mean by stable. Our society may be considered the most unstable in human history. Look at the rate of technological change and societal change from the 1960s onwards. Hell, the majority opinion on gay marriage flipped in the US over the course of like 10 years. Nowadays you're seen as a bad guy if you don't like it, but 10 years ago it was fine to openly hate fags.

>out of our grasp
What do you mean by "our", Peasant?

That base looks like cancer, if you do this, you do it big and do it right

>Huge asteroid
>Cavern mining with nuclear explosives
>Mini biosphere is go

your mom already succumbs to it's power.

care to elaborate

Sure there are conflicts. But the death tolls from full industrialized warfare are unacceptable, and world leaders are trying to avoid big wars like that. Yes there still border conflicts and police actions, but nothing on the scale it used to be.

That's true, the accleration of technology will drastically change or society multiple times within our lifespans.
