I have my hopes up for Deep Space Mining & Planetary resources.
Shame it'll take 100 years rather then 10.

I was actually thinking about this just the other day, not quite in the greatest
achievement, but in what single invention has advanced man more than any other




Antibiotics. Or, if you count it, germ theory of disease.





antibiotics isnt responsible for civilizations advancement to what it is today




You said single greatest advancement. It's either antibiotics/germ theory or the Haber Process.

At this point I'd have to say no. Engineering achievements on Earth have had bigger payoffs for humanity, as important as communications and GPS satellites are (those do count as being in outer space right?) Space exploration is certainly impressive but I don't think it will beat everything else out for "greatest achievement" until/unless we can actually terraform other planets or moons and make them livable.

For the record, I'm not American. I posted that because I assume most on these boards are and it seems highly likely the guy I was trying to make my point to could be as well.

I certainly agree with you that it is a shame, and I was just trying to imply by the ellipsis that one might consider mining in space a product of space exploration.

yes yes yes yes a million times yes.

getting off this rock and seeing it from an outside perspective was the single greatest influence in the way we perceive ourselves

turning the mirror back on itself. impossible but crucial to the concept of collective "Awakening" or "enlightenment" or any of that on a mass level

we've done the impossible. lets do it again

Vandago,

So you're anti scientific theory now? I'm not sure you understand entirely what you are saying, sir.

Just because you yourself have given up on scientific exploration (and new concepts and corrections in science) and you can't think about space because your mind almost pops, does not mean everybody else ought to just throw in the towel and focus their energies towards throwing another Woodstock. (Not that I have anything against Woodstock), however without scientific advancement, we wouldn't have come anywhere near as far as we have, nor would we have much hope for preserving our species, let alone the planet.

Science is a process and you cannot just cut a tremendous chunk out of it (particularly the study of the universe, the oldest science there is) and expect their would be no repercussions or delays as far as advancement in other areas. Try looking it at it as part of the bigger picture.

Now, sure there are things we may never know as far as the bigger questions, but with an attitude such as yours we wouldn't know much as far as answers to the smaller ones either.

I'll be damned if I ever turn a blind eye to my yearning to know more of the nature of our reality and to push the limits on what we don't know. Different people have different strong suits, various passions and curiosities and abilities and desires to contribute to and explore various fields of interest.

Every privileged and capable minded individual who feels an obligation to do their part in which ever parameters they feel able, necessary and fascinated by has the freedom to focus their time and energy where they will and it would be a sadder world were that not true. I sorely hope the future generations of people to come into political power and positions responsible for the ways of the world are more scientifically literate than the last, respect the inherent nature of human wonder and exploration that leads us forwards as a species and take further action to absolve that which holds others back from standards of living where more can be so privileged.






I don't want another woodstock.  I actually stopped going to concerts and festivals all together.  Haven't been to one in over a year.  Not for me anymore.

Anything that is theory makes my brain want to pop. I'm over analytical, and ignorant on purpose.  The more I know the more I question, and the less I actually figure out.  I really can only learn through personal life experiences, and that's just me.


When I say maintaining our own planet, why do you say "festival"?  Those things are on of the most detrimental things ( the bigger ones any ways ).....millions of dollars are pumped into making 19 year olds go death and retarded on bad drugs.  I didn't say stop shooting rockets into space and start raging did I?

I also hate fireworks.  With a passion.  We celebrate our "independence" by wasting millions of dollars in explosives every year? 

I have an opinion on something.....I'm not picketing against it.  I don't indulge my brain into it anymore, because frankly I don't enjoy the places it takes me.  My memory is also going more every day.....so I don't want to frustrate myself trying to remember who's currently studying what, and who's debunking what, and what we thought was wasn't......I'd rather just make a sandwich and try not to litter and be in the woods.


Everyones allowed to have an opinion.  Unless you are seashrooms.....

I was being a bit facetious with the Woodstock comment. :calledajoke:

Well, I'm glad not everyone thinks like you, ignorance is repressive and often enough, dangerous. But I wish that more of those with no interest in or desire to be a part of the process of science and the intellectual and cosmic advancement of our species would maintain an effort not to litter.  :thumbup:

Enjoy your sandwiches.

I dont think anyone is arguing we should also be self sufficient on earth and fund ways to provide food and water and decrease pollution, but the reality of that is,, we can do that if we wanted. But for some reason people who make big decisions obviously don't want a huge populated planet so they let those things slide.. that will happen, they know the earth is over populated and at this rate of population expansion, we will have to look at becoming .. not sure the term, but a term for a civilization that lives in say a space station in its own solar system.
  the human race has no option but to expand into space and further our search, man was ment to explore,its in our genetic make up, the planet would probably be able to heal it self if were not jam packed with humans. So to say that space exploration should not be sought, is basically dooming our species not to thrive and possibly become extinct.

That is not a viable option currently. A space station will never be able to house any significant amount people because of cost alone. Youre literally burning through enough resources to sustain 500-600 people in the ground to send one person up there. Which is retarded. A much more realistic option is learning how to effectively manage ourselves. Something that's gonna require switching from a capitilist system into something more socially driven. Our inclination to orthodoxy makes me doubt that's ever gonna happen before a serious die off event occurs.

I honestly think its a tie between computing and electric motors. Those two alone have brought us so many day to day advancements its not even funny.
