@Host

Yeah.

This is accurate. But with a several trillion dollar debt, what do you expect?

Liberals will spend it all on letting more people sign up for welfare.

I don't know if you're aware of how rare Earth-like planets are. It's entirely probable that this is the only inhabitable planet in the universe, but I won't argue this since you believe in an infinite universe, while I believe in a finite one.

Half the world isn't starving. Less than a billion are.

The environment isn't as bad as a lot of propaganda makes it out to be. We do need to fix some of the policies, though. Deforestation being one of them.

@Etcetera

To be fair, hillary won't do shit and idk Bernie's views on the space program, but at least he plans to be able to pay for the changes he proposes.

Yeah, but even in a finite the size of even just the known universe makes it almost certain there are others. Not to mention that that only applies to life as we know it, and doesn't factor in other possible kinds of life. There's a huge chance one of jupiter's moons has life on it. I think Io but it's been since 10th grade so idk if that was it.

I don't remember what the number was. I feel like I heard half.

Environment might be past the point of no return but that's a long ways off anyway. Mhm.

It greatly bothers me that people thought the minecraft ending was telling them not to play anymore. It literally says exactly what it means and people apparently ignored it.

When we get to that point. We're nowhere close.
Antimatter is decently understood at this point. It's simply particles on opposite paths and the like; you can look it up.
The fact is that we have quite a bit of time before the planet is uninhabitable. Several hundred years at least, with new advances in renewable resources. However, I believe humanity (sans rapture) will easily destroy itself within a hundred years.
If you're referring to overpopulation, it isn't particular a major ordeal at this point; we simply need to expedite food production, which can easily be done. There is a long way to go before Earth is unsustainable.

@Host

>In large part because we stopped investing in it.
Bleh.
Anywhere as soon as our lifetimes. Not even counting the almost inevitable nuclear war coming up, not enough countries are doing renewable resource advancement, and if we get a republican president then that's a guaranteed stop in pretty much all progress on it in the us.
On overpopulation, we're already starving half the world, and people are multiplying exponentially. We'll have a billion more in a generation or sooner, we don't have enough land left for housing or food, and any land we do take is further harming the environment. Again, as soon as our lifetimes we could run out of planet. The sooner we get to work making mars livable to some degree, the sooner we can go into livable planets outside the solar system, and the sooner we can stop worrying about needing to limit population. Bonus points if we can get rid of some of the class disparity across the planet so we'll have less starving or dying of disease, and perfect score if we can get a peaceful easing into anarchy like I dream of. Obviously not likely by any stretch, but hey, it solves all our problems.

Again, we need to study interplanetary travel here before it is even possible to attempt it. Antimatter is possible to be created now, but does not exist in large quantities in the universe because it becomes light when colliding with matter. We need to focus on Nuclear Fusion, and antimatter is the next step.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I am capable of assisting you.

@LegendBegins

Yes, which requires solar system testing, aka space.
That's highly theoretical, unless the theories have changed, most astronomers, ya know, people who study space like we're talking about, would say that's not the case, and antimatter near the planet would be very easily disastrous.
We. Are. Running. Out. Of. Planet. I don't know how you expect to get past that without space investment barring religious answers.

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Weren't you here when it was created?

@Balance

Yeah but I don't remember anything about it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

The wiki's been up for a long time; we just haven't done anything with it. I randomly decided to write a page for Spirit, and then I wrote a page for the Mindscape, and now I'm going to write a page for Waternaux City (although since you've been here longer, you might be more qualified to do so).

And Jacob, before you say you're the most qualified (because you are and you would say that) I'm assuming you don't have the time to write for the wiki.

EDIT: Some information I need to clarify, Jacob: did the IA actually rule over Waternaux? When Indigo took it over, who was it given to, and who was he actually working for? Who orchestrated its destruction?

@Balance

I was never informed of this.

I know literally nothing about it lol

Myriad Reality

The wiki is back up?
Hello time consumption, it's been a while, ironically enough.

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Other than my belief that the rapture will happen in my lifetime, we can work on interplanetary travel and teleportation on Earth, antimatter isn't viable yet, and there's nothing to do with space. It's just there. We take pictures.

@Host

Right, that's why I made it clear it doesn't apply to you.
We can't really work on interplanetary travel on earth because we're running out of resources to use. Strip mining other planets will be important soon, too.
Antimatter isn't viable in large part because we can't study it because we're stuck on a single planet.

@Zeal
I don't get the reference, but cool.

Weapon creation is what leads a good amount of scientific progress. We became proficient in nuclear fusion after the Manhattan Project in order to destroy Japan. Now a good portion of the world uses nuclear power facilities in order to gain energy. It's also led us to nuclear fusion, a clean source of future energy if we can learn how to contain it. What does the space program even do? I looked at NASA's website, and they don't even know what makes space investments profitable. We do nothing with space; we have the Hubble Telescope to get images, we have the ISS (that does who knows what; it's really nothing we don't have here other than low gravity, which doesn't contribute significantly. There's not much else to do with space.

@Host

War applications lead to inventions, not weapons themselves leading to it. Important difference. MORE importantly, that's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN ONLY DOING IMPORTANT SCIENCE BECAUSE YOU WANT MILITARY SIDE EFFECTS. Creating radio to better communcate during war is one thing, only working to improve radio because you want to weaponize radio waves to liquify someone is totally different.
The reason we do nothing with space is because the past 10 years havecut it's funding to the poin it CAN'T do anything. Space is icredibly important for anyone realizing there won't be a rapture any time soon because we're slowly making the planet uninhabitable, and we know literaly nothing about the universe we exist in when the whole is considered. How do ou suggest we learn about antimatter on earth? Or other models of life without them coming to us? Space is the mos important thing we can invest in, and not to further destroy the planet we'll be stuck on until we make enough progress with space.
At least neuter him.
