Wanted to invest in companies like that. Too bad the only company about planetary resources. Could pay a buck for Thousands of shares. Wish I knew how to do that one.
The only other one I know available is Virgin Galactic.
Going to start a small project on this since I got nothing to do for a while in my free time.
AIspacefactory won the competition to start testing their autonomous building tech for Mars. Pretty cool stuff as they reuse Mars' rocks and corn to create a strong as shit material that they squirt out.
I will look into them. First time I heard of them to be honest.
Just looked into them and they seem promising.
I want to see how strong that material of theirs(TERA) is to cosmic radiation. I would like to see results with gamma radiation bombardment testing. If it does well, but needing thicker walls and all it might be a good material to try underground building. If that works it might be used in Nuclear reactor containment units at some point.
ya i think they started off with the idea of making a solid enough material that can be recycled hence the mars sediment + corn conclusion. What you said is also needed if we are to make Mars a reality. Still cool shit though, also none of their structures have any foundation which kinda defeats the purpose of being solid...
Can't bring them home. Economy will tank if we did. It would be more wise to focus on building up space industry first since that will help in the long run on top of reaching further out.
Think about the classic kids game of hopscotch. You hop along the path with one foot then two if available. In this analogy we can say that space mining is box 1, space industry is box 2, space Development is box 3, and the two boxes are for more avenues of business to open up which leads to more people. This is repeated a few times which allows for others to join in. Soon after that it will be cheap enough to send the common person for $10k. That seems like a lot, but I am talking about something like a round trip.
If we apply aerogel design with materials research(example theory being using aerogel design with Graphene type material for skin structure, and another material with aspects of mass being as heavy as aluminum or lighter for skeletal structure but being as strong or stronger than reinforced steel) we could create lighter stronger ships meaning larger loads be that for people or cargo still means a lot more goes into space which feeds the cycle.
The economy will change, not tank. Space exploration will follow the money like every other industry in the history of this planet and probably every other one in the galactic federation.
I said if they bring the material to Earth it would tank the economy. It would be more wise to use the material for Space industry because it would pay out in the long run far more.
I don't really know where you got that the hauling of materials will tank the economy out of my sentence.
His point is that by the time we get to the place where we are bringing the material back to Earth, the economy will likely have evolved far beyond where we are now and will be able to handle the massive influx of commoditable goods (which is where the issue in tanking the economy comes from).
It would be more wise to use the material for Space industry because it would pay out in the long run far more.
This is but one of the many uses the material will have.
Truth is a vital component of creativity. That's why Hollywood recycles everything now. They can't see the truth so they attempt to mimic it. Lies don't build wisdom.
I would always support a private company whos motives are clear (profits) versus the public sector where the motive is not clear. Do you really think the people in charge of these sectors are out for the greator good? There will always be a few bad ones out there to screw it all up.
In 2014 during a spat with the Russians one of their guys in charge of space recommended the US jump on a trampoline to get to the ISS since Obama abandoned the US ability to get humans to orbit.
In fairness, that was a perfectly legitimate remark after what Obama pulled.
A rat done bit my sister Nell
with Whitey on the moon
Her face and arms began to swell
and Whitey's on the moon
I can't pay no doctor bill
but Whitey's on the moon
Ten years from now I'll be paying still
while Whitey's on the moon
The man just upped my rent last night
'cause Whitey's on the moon
No hot water, no toilets, no lights
but Whitey's on the moon
Imagine how far along we would be if we just went for it instead of trying to drag everyone up to the same level, kicking and screaming.
When they want to put America on a stand still, America pushes forward.
Global pandemic, destroyed economy, riots in lots of major US cities, race war tensions at all time highs, and yet we still manage to launch men into space. Truly beautiful.
Who draws these things? Dang it - take a class, man. Looks like somebody just drew the outline of their thumb and put some hair on it. (Meme is pretty good, though)
I'm actually trying to start a business that prospects and catalogs asteroids. I do low voltage controls but have wanted to do this my entire life.
That's awesome, man. Good luck!
That's awesome.

early stages but still cool.
Yeah I was looking at getting a job with them. Never heard back. Not sure what kind of certifications you need to get into that lmfao.
I do crazy wiring for big pharma clean rooms, so im sure i could be useful somewhere.
Brilliant idea, though you know that this (not yours, specifically) enterprise will eventually crash then transform the world's commodities markets.
Yeah thats the point =)
When we can safely and efficiently import materials from space is when the real golden age begins.

That’s what Space Force is for
It’s like how we buy planes and support and equipment from Boeing/Lockheed, etc.
Virgin Galactic
Branson is too busy being woke.

Vs The Chad Elon.
The turn of the millennium is calling =)
Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic. But seriously, SpaceX is leaps and bounds ahead of competition.
The others will start stealing SpaceX employees soon.
We're going to become Star Citizens before Star Citizen comes out!
ROFL

We have the best African Americans.
"We paid a lot of money for those protestors. Look at meeeEEEEEeeee!"
Even worse Obama used them to make Muslims feel good about their contributions to science
They did a great job holding onto Rome's stuff while they looted it.
In fairness, that was a perfectly legitimate remark after what Obama pulled.
Kamala Harris is OP's mom?
The rocket fuel's made of leftist tears
A renewable and near infinite fuel source. Very efficient.
Also a renewable and near infinite fuel source.
With 0.04% "How dare you!" for that extra boost.
OMG neither of the astronauts was a POC tranny, Drumph is finished!!!
omg!! ploompf should have sent the twitch dear lady!! my queen!!
in peech glompf
ORANJ ZROMPTHF BAD
Yes! If we can't have the first deerkin in space then why even live!
Communism could probably make some technological advances if it remained in a constant state of war.
You know, until the economy collapsed.
Blue states are closed down and rioting, and red staters are having fun and sending rockets to space.
Its almost like Dem states are becoming uncivilized third world economic shitholes.
Don't worry, they'll abandon them.
i was very impressed with both Trump and Pence speeches after launch.
if that was not unifying i dont know what is.
The go brrrrr meme is killing me every time :D
Imagine how far along we would be if we just went for it instead of trying to drag everyone up to the same level, kicking and screaming.
We would have an active space station about 7-20 times the size of the ISS with space mining having just started 2-3 years ago.
America! Fuck ya!
When they want to put America on a stand still, America pushes forward.
Global pandemic, destroyed economy, riots in lots of major US cities, race war tensions at all time highs, and yet we still manage to launch men into space. Truly beautiful.
damn "whitey on the moon." always trying to save humanity and move it forward.
Hawaii judge rules that space rocket going brrr must come back down.
Super duper rocket
#SoyForce will be the first to tantrum on the moon
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Fake news - no one other than Biden has a Biden sticker.
why cant we have megathreads? srs
Biden: launches massive fart
Trump: launches massive rocket
The supreme court just said that I do not have the right to freely exercise my religion. The country is basically over
We need to create Meme awards to recognize genius like this! Whoever makes these, god bless you!
The check mark is perfect. I love my MAGA memers.
I remember watching riots while Apollo was launching rockets.
*protesting
I appreciated the distraction tbph
This made me laugh, much needed laughter. Thanks!! MAGA
Ray Bradbury wrote a story about thus exact situation, if Im not mistaken.
