i thought this was about jumping.

TheInfamousBaka on Jun 04 '09 at 1:15pm

Yeah, so we can move to other planets and destroy them too. We're like a planet pest.

margolove on Jun 04 '09 at 1:15pm

well, why not?

alexmdc on Jun 04 '09 at 1:17pm

planet pest FTW!

Malcolm Man on Jun 04 '09 at 1:17pm

absolutely.

producer on Jun 04 '09 at 1:20pm

i think my question is whether or not, if people do move to another planet, they will create a new type of mythology and perspective of humanity. for example, if for some reason, all the people from earth, who have remaining memories of it's realities and thoughts about god/politics/civilization, were to die, but their children began the species anew somewhere else, would they still concieve of these things on their own?

that's probably terribly phrased and full of bad grammar, but what the hey

iPear on Jun 04 '09 at 1:20pm

lolthatpic!

alexmdc on Jun 04 '09 at 1:21pm

I thinkn eventually they would civilize into god/politics/civilization even if its not exactly the same

iPear on Jun 04 '09 at 1:23pm

imagine building a civilization fromt he ground up...

tracerbullet on Jun 04 '09 at 1:24pm

we're all cylons anyway

SuperRyan on Jun 04 '09 at 1:24pm

By 'meant,' do you mean as in our (the human race's) destiny?

hey, sid meier did it

maddingo on Jun 04 '09 at 1:25pm

as long as it is a one way trip and i get to make (part at least) of the list as to who goes.

Malcolm Man on Jun 04 '09 at 1:26pm

All the books, music, news and media would have to completely go extinct with them. So, it'd be nearly impossible to forget past generations.

Also, if we developed the technology to populate a new planet, we'd have to technology to go back to earth if we chose for exploratory missions. It'd be like 12 Monkeys and shiz.

what if we found a species which had evolved on a planet millions of light-years away, but in the same time frame as us, and same conditions, but had evolved to a higher level?

phones on Jun 04 '09 at 1:27pm

NASA are looking into this- you need at least 200 unrelated heterosexual male and female partners to grow a successful space colony. its not as simple as sending a bunch of people to one planet the getting out of the spaceship and saying "right lets build the mall here".

Spacetravel takes years- whole generations will be born and die in space alone before reaching habitable planets.

i mean the destiny of our race in the grand scheme of the universe

producer on Jun 04 '09 at 1:29pm

that brings up another point. why do we mostly depict "alien species" in films and such as being belligerent?

SuperRyan on Jun 04 '09 at 1:29pm

And those spaceships would have to be stocked with food, water, oxygen, etc. to support those generations.

People would have to have kids and raise those kids to be astronauts.

Malcolm Man on Jun 04 '09 at 1:30pm

I think we should rebuild a society with all of the prominent doctor's, scientists, artist and top 20 percentile of the world's business leaders.

phones on Jun 04 '09 at 1:30pm

there was a cool article in BBC Focus magazine (i think) that delt with the problems of sex in space- NASA have to get serious about this if they truly want to populate the galaxy. No one knows officially if sex in space is possible and even so is it possible to concieve and give birth in zero grav??

apparently NASA recommends to their male astronauts that they masturbate at least once a month in order to prevent prostate problems like cancer. true story!

canceromega on Jun 04 '09 at 1:31pm

I don't believe we're "meant" to do anything. Humans have an infinite thirst for knowledge, so it only makes sense we'd try to comprehend our surroundings by our own resolve. We've only discovered a tiny fraction of what there is to discover.

producer on Jun 04 '09 at 1:31pm

the odds seem pretty perfect for us being here on this planet, and only this planet

maddingo on Jun 04 '09 at 1:31pm

God will not allow us to defile deep space.

that brings up another point. why do we mostly depict "alien species" in films and such as being belligerent?

our experience / knowledge of what happens when more advanced societies meet less on earth.

phones on Jun 04 '09 at 1:31pm

exactly, superryan!

Torakamikaze on Jun 04 '09 at 1:33pm

ive always wanted to float while sexing

Steve The Great on Jun 04 '09 at 1:34pm

there is no "meant"

yeah, that's why i do it too...

*looks awkwardly to the left*

shirtflirt on Jun 04 '09 at 1:35pm

no we're not 'suppsed' to but we've created the idea of 'free will' and with that concept in mind, sure, we're supposed to do whatever one can think up...like go into space where there is no water, oxygen or sustainable foods...sure why not

dibs on the first starbucks franchise in the new planets mall.

margolove on Jun 04 '09 at 1:36pm

we won't stop talking about god, no matter what the circumstances, until we know everything.

religion exists to answer the questions we can't. I doubt it would disappear even if we forgot all past knowledge and existed in another part of the universe.

Mythology will always be around. When we don't know the answer, we feel compelled to make shit up.

Malcolm Man on Jun 04 '09 at 1:36pm

maddingo on Jun 04 '09 at 1:31pm

God will not allow us to defile deep space.

what does that mean?

producer on Jun 04 '09 at 1:37pm

i'm not saying it's that simple. what i'm saying is if the all the people except for the generation which was born after arriving died

Malcolm Man on Jun 04 '09 at 1:37pm

maddingo on Jun 04 '09 at 1:38pm

our planet is fouled God will not let that pollution to extend to the deeper regions of space.

AdderXYU on Jun 04 '09 at 1:38pm

Does more advanced have to mean "more prone to destroying things"? I'd think a truly advanced species would be one that also understood the real meaning of things like diplomacy, fairness, and conservation.

What is more likely is that we, the xenophobic, belligerent, selfish lesser species, would try to attack the advanced one out of xenophobia, belligerence, and self-centeredness. In which case, yes, we would probably have our collective asses handed to us on a silver platter by a white-gloved Maitre'd

SuperRyan on Jun 04 '09 at 1:38pm

Space masturbation would be awkward because stuff would be floating around.

shirtflirt on Jun 04 '09 at 1:39pm

free will is an illusion. does it exist? sure if we think about the idea of Free Will then yes, it exists.

margolove on Jun 04 '09 at 1:39pm

also, I dunno... to me it can't really be phrased in terms of whether or not we are "meant" to.

It's going to happen, unless we manage to destroy ourselves first.

shirtflirt on Jun 04 '09 at 1:39pm

if there's any evidence against an all-knowing all powerful god figure is the existence of infinite space.

you're right margo. i couldn't think of a better way to phrase it though

maddingo on Jun 04 '09 at 1:40pm

omg finally the word illusion appears in this blog... was getting worried for a minute there.
