Space is awesome. There was a thread on SC about space and the weirdness that exists in there, the pulsars, the weird planets with the strange phenomena on them, etc.

I feel like space will seem remarkably boring once being able to travel through it is streamlined. 

It's mostly cool now only because it's currently out of reach, and when we're out there we're liable to try different frontiers, like dimensions or something.

I think this only applies to a certain extent, I mean we still like to go on walks in the woods and are awe struck by sunsets. Some things just stay magical and I think humans will always be awestruck by their insignificance and smallness in comparison to what's out there.

Space travel past a point will probably be like the Trans-Siberian Railway, except done commonly enough to feel like it's nothing. 

I mean people can still be impressed with the feeling of a long drive, but ask a Trucker about that and you're liable to be scoffed at if they aren't woke or immune to tolerance.

It tends to inspire more awe when we haven't reduced it into something mundane and repetitious. 

Space stands to be one of the worst for that. 

It wouldn’t make sense if we didn’t have a drain somewhere. 

Every living organism produces waste. 

So if the universe as an ass hole, is the universe in itself a living, breathing organism? 

Think about it. 

The list of quantifiable traits to be a living organism is really simple. 

1. Reproduce (the universe is an asexual organism) 

2. Growth (universe is ever expanding) 

3. Produces waste 

4. Cellular organization (the universe is organized) 

5. Homeostasis (the universe is reactive and self balancing, just read up on gaseous nebulas) 

6. Adaptation and evolution (galaxies collide, split each other apart at the seems, and result in new organizations over time as a result of that matter being displaced and then re-organized) 

Question- what the fuck are meteors and who told them to just travel across the universe like migrating space mammoths. Is their sole purpose to break up other materials and planets? How are they moving. How did they even get there. Where did they come from. 

Space rubble, colliding with other shit to make more space rubble? 

Concept- Blackkholes are obviously displacing matter but, my question is why. I believe it contributes to the indefinite expansion thing but, why is it doing that in the first place, why is that necessary. 

If the universe expands, doesn’t it also contract? Astrophysicists theorize the universe started out as a concentrated point and grew outward from that point in every possible direction- in ten evenly divided pedals labeled each as separate dimensions. (Debatable, some believe in more, some believe in less.) 

But yeah, Everything that has a reaction, has an equal and opposite reaction so, I guess it makes sense that the very act of creating indefinite void, also results in the potential for indefinite energy and formations of organized matter. 

I would have a panic attack if I fell asleep and then woke up and was on a space ship looking down at earth. 

I don’t think everyone is meant for space travel, supposedly it’s going to become a regular thing but, that seems like something really unsafe? 

But yeah I think less people will be willing to go than we think. 

At first it’s going to be too expensive anyway but, as time goes on it will become normal and affordable- if it doesn’t get shut down from the sheer number of “accidents” 

I mean yeah we send up satellites all the time and shit like that, but every launch we bite our nails, and the launches constantly get scrubbed with the slightest sight of a fucking cloud or a tiny bit of wind because it’s *that* delicate and uncertain. 1 mph above the acceptable rate and the thing could crash and burn. 

But that’s not even where things go wrong most commonly- apparently the most common issue that NASA employees bite their nails over watching a launch, isn’t getting off the ground past some clouds but, it’s passing through a certain point in the atmosphere, where the engines drop and then switch into a different gear and start trudging a bit sideways, if you notice a certain point where the launch goes from “straight up” and starts going diagonal, and the white puffy cloud stops forming. That’s because they’ve dropped a whole chunk of the ship off and gone into full fucking g-force. 

Apparently that transition is the most risky and that’s where things tend to literally blow up. Unfortunately we witnessed it on national TV, live. Once. 

If it happened once, it can happen again. And if you study stuff about the ships, you realize there isn’t as many fail safes as you would think. Like once the ship is fucked, it’s pretty damn fucked. There is only a tiny layer between you and deep space, and that shell alone being so thin, terrifies me. No matter what material it’s made of. 

And then you have mechanical errors, which astronauts are trained to handle but- things do go wrong and they have to fix that shit mid-space travel. 

And not to mention trajectory. If you get off course because of an issue- you could end up missing your window of opportunity to your entrance point to wherever your destination is- which is a very narrow window, and a very difficult and rocky landing. And when it comes to returning to earth, there is an even more narrow window than the trajectory to your space destination, and they completely expect the landing to go south which is why all landing pads are placed in areas surrounded by open water and zero civilization, and the area during landings is restricted within a certain radius. Because that shit could literally crash and burn into the ground. 

Imagine throwing a dart into the the key hole of your front door, from your bedroom. And that’s what it’s like trying to land a space ship on a landing pad properly on earth. 

LOL it’s very, very narrow. 

There is no way in hell I’m getting on a space ship unless it’s life or death.
