Isnt he great

Oh! I just learned that "the greatest invention in the last 40 years" is "beer widget". That's what I call a scientific breakthrough! Where Musk with his space with him!

I agree. Moreover, it is his invention stolen https://youtu.be/_WdRCDcCcWw

:ignat
who would doubt...

As for me, all of these space flight - povesteste at the level of "Mommy, look what I can do.".
Why to go far away to some Mars if on his own planet a lot of problems? Social, environmental, health... But no, they solve interesting...

Everyone is engaged in what he is doing better. Sadly, the vast majority have the sense only to the destruction of reality around them.

natali062013, the Golden words

Support.
Launch is spent stages that fall to the ground and into the ocean; the debris in orbit; it's the pollution of the environment with toxic fuel combustion products; the destruction of the ozone layer of the planet...

I do not agree. We, ordinary people, sasaram the planet much, so to speak, better. That would not affect the environment to live "open field" and eat raw roots.

Well, that's how we, ordinary people, these cosmonaute help? Unless you work at the spaceport and the administration on the joys of the award was released...
At the same time, ordinary people can reduce their "pressure" on the environment, at least what not to pig out during the picnic

Well, I say humanity must colonize other planets for the sake of self-preservation. If for some reason we die out, our species will still survive.
But... is it realistic? People are fragile, even in the home world to which adapted.

I'm a dreamer , I love astronomy, fiction. Therefore, all the arguments against (rational or not) don't work on me

Was a docudrama "Mars" on this topic.

let's Say that humanity, tinajas universe, nadybal a suitable planet. Then there are two possible options: either there will be the natives, who do not will be happy to share resources with unexpected guests, or there will be wild, untouched nature... and will start: then down here to drain, there to block... And co us through a couple of centuries, as this new house will become worthless, we go into space we'll move!


Read "Moon dust" by Arthur C. Clarke?

Oh, I her childhood to holes read!

Yes, and even Isaac Asimov - "caves of Steel" the cycle "I, robot".

And I, for the life of me, I don't remember . That will be read.

First of all, communication satellites, meteorological, navigation (GPS, GLONASS). Some satellites just to help in the fight for the environment, orbit easy to keep track of the total pollution and fires. And from the manned space flight probably has benefits, conducted some research experiments.
About the importance of the application space can be found in the Internet, which in many places would not exist without communication satellites.

As for me, the photo of Elon Musk with improved replacem. All improvement is one thing - now it is not necessary to manually push to the gas station, Luts can pour from the canister

@Lysva - Bravo! And I think, well it reminds me of...

yeah, that vznikly after the start?

Кстати, насчет фантастики как жанра. Я тоже перечитываю как старые произведения (годов 60-х, 7-0-х), много интересного в старых подшивках "Техники молодежи, "Наука и жизнь" и прочее - так в те годы люди были уверены, что к 2000 году человечество высадится на Марсе, Венере, поникнет еще дальше, открывая новые планеты, сколько проектов космических городков, орбитальных станций и пр. И что? В 90-х появилась мобильная связь и человечество приземлилось. Всё, никто никуда не летит. Весь упор на телефоны, айподы, айпады и прочее. Человечество буксует. Что толку, что изобрели "умные часы", которые мне покажут мой пульс, количество пройденых шагов, погоду и сообщения из инстаграм. Это всё. Никаких полетов в космос.

Зато у нас развитое общество потребления

Из интервью с Рэем Брэдбери:

— В 1950 году вы написали книгу, принёсшую вам всемирную славу, — сборник рассказов «Марсианские хроники». Там говорилось: уже к началу второго тысячелетия на Марсе будут поселения, целые города землян. Как вы думаете, почему этого в итоге так и не произошло?

— Меня часто про такое спрашивают, и я люблю фантазировать над ответами. Ответ сегодняшнего дня: потому что люди — идиоты. Они сделали кучу глупостей: придумывали костюмы для собак, должность рекламного менеджера и штуки вроде айфона, не получив взамен ничего, кроме кислого послевкусия. Человечеству дали возможность бороздить космос, но оно хочет заниматься потреблением — пить пиво и смотреть сериалы.

Какая к чёрту космонавтика! "Пивной виджет" - вот это сила!

I'm currently reading the book "Civilization". The author asks: why the West is ahead of other civilizations? What features?
One of those features is a consumer society that emerged in 19th century Britain.
Everything is connected. If not a consumer society, and the Mask would not be.
sorry, of course, on Mars no cities. Just the space was much more hostile environment than was thought science fiction. We can live beyond Earth only ceasing to be human.

Read - Vadim Panov "Enclaves". ! There is on YouTube the audio version freely available yet. Begins with " Moscow club"

today, who is the author ?

Neil Ferguson.
"Enclaves" I read a book, went too hard.

today, there is nothing hard , it's not " game of thrones". My opinion is not read.

There .

Ioanna, I read "Civilization" and not read. First, interesting thought, but then the author of this "crap" suffered! About the Soviet Union even God knows that he wrote. West rose on the exploitation of the colonies, that every Soviet schoolboy knew:ignat
in Short, not guys this Ferguson does not understand, but this is purely my opinion. If interested I can send the book, I have to fb2.

today, where the Moon killed a Hare, these are the "Enclaves" by Vadim Panov.

Well, there would be nothing to worry about. To the Mask and the satellite launch, "East", "Buran" space station "World", "Union". It is now somewhere around safely. Here in the West - Yes, value. Enthusiast, is no match for all consumers. But compared to the Queen - arrogant kid, with creepy schemes and ways of earning
