[QUOTE=!TROLLMAIL!;34540625]I am suprised how much planet are in space and support life ;)[/QUOTE] ;)
Destroy it before it destroy's us.
[QUOTE=Remscar;34519651]We have the technology to make generation ships. but 22 light years is a LONG time.[/QUOTE] A light year is not time, it is a distance.
[QUOTE=AGMadsAG;34541530]A light year is not time, it is a distance.[/QUOTE] I think he means "22 Light years takes a long time".
[QUOTE=TamTamJam;34536060]How is this a solution? People are still frozen, which leads to the same problem.[/QUOTE] Okay okay, tell me, what temperature do people need to be in in order to stay alive in cryogenics. I'm not saying to freeze the piss until it's like, frozen, I'm saying that the piss should be kept above the freezing point, but still cold enough to preserve people.
[QUOTE=Trumple;34519836]They don't just send a rocket in one direction and hope it stays on track you know :v: Correctional boosters keep it on course...imagine all the rocks that hit it and send it off course?[/QUOTE] Rocks? You do realize just how far apart everything in space is right? It is a one in a billion chance for a large rock (ala dinosaurs) to hit the earth. What do you think the chance is for the satellite to hit it?

[QUOTE=Noth;34541965]Cryogenics requires freezing people in a manner which doesn't damage the cells[/QUOTE] Like hypothermia but with hellishly low temperatures?
Imagine weighing 400-500 pounds all the time. Someone weighing 250 would weigh 1000
[QUOTE=Cone;34540586]It's very difficult to say for certain. Only last year we believed C couldn't be surpassed, then those neutrinos came along and beat it. Quite frankly, an awful lot of what we know has been called into question by that. So I guess we'll have to wait until we're entirely certain of everything we know and/or [I]think[/I] we know before we go heading off into the cold reaches of space. I mean, [B]you don't want everybody dying because it just happens to turn out there's an infinite amount of jello-pop monsters lurking outside Sol, do you?[/B][/QUOTE] That would be weirdly awesome.

Water freezes at around 0 degrees Celsius. Piss freezes at (around) -160 degrees Celsius, as you say. That is the most retarded thing ever. The cold piss would cause the water within the person's body to freeze as well. It's the freezing / thawing that makes cryogenics (up-so-far) ineffective, as it causes cells within the person to burst. It astounds me that you think that the outside temperature (of the piss) wouldn't affect the water within the person.
[QUOTE=Lol-Nade;34542789]Imagine weighing 400-500 pounds all the time. Someone weighing 250 would weigh 1000[/QUOTE] Increased mass doesn't necessarily mean increased surface gravity. Do you have any data on the surface gravity or even the size of it, or did you just look at mass?
every time I go into space threads it FUCKS MY MIND and I waste so much time putting this shit into perspective
i wonder if there's a planet in our galaxy some light years away that's observing our planet as a potential beacon of life. maybe they have a fancy code-name for us too

I wish we had the technology to make advanced spaceships that can travel lightyears away instead of wasting the taxpayers' money on broken f-35's.
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;34555034]I wish we had the technology to make advanced spaceships that can travel lightyears away instead of wasting the taxpayers' money on broken f-35's.[/QUOTE] The only possibility we have with current technology is a valkyrie rocket, which requires is make a series of massive particle accelarators that straddle the moons equator to harvest anti-matter. We have the technology but we just don't have the engineering capability.
[QUOTE=TheHydra;34547797]i wonder if there's a planet in our galaxy some light years away that's observing our planet as a potential beacon of life. maybe they have a fancy code-name for us too[/QUOTE] If anything they won't attack us because they know we'll fuck ourselves over anyway.

I happened to forget that the human body is mainly compromised of H20.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;34528068]It's impossible to go faster than light, there's really no debate about that. There are theoretical tricks like bending space to get around the restriction but I'm pessimistic about us ever managing to do it[/QUOTE] Why? If there's anything the human race is good at it's advancing our understanding of the universe and our technical skills.
[QUOTE=demoguy08;34563310]Why? If there's anything the human race is good at it's advancing our understanding of the universe and our technical skills.[/QUOTE] In all honsesty, I feel we should focus less on what can't happen and more on what can.
