Dont worry sndk holder this V will be the one to get us back on track. Surely

Spotify hate bots engage. For some reason cousin carls garage band making $1 dollar a year v $1.05 is a huge moral dilemma. Rather tell people to support the moral bastions of Google, Apple or Amazon.

There is one now, actually. We've hit a sweet spot where launch costs have diminished & we've confirmed the presence of large volumes of ice in permanently shadowed craters. Water is a kind of miracle fluid, not only because we need it to live and farm, but also because it can be electrolyzed into rocket fuel - the lack of ice found in the Apollo missions was one reason we "gave up" on the "anhydrous" Moon. The Moon now looks like the perfect cosmic gas station, where mining ice will play a pivotal role in missions further out. But it is more than that, too. There's a lot of potential with building a Lunar economy. The lower gravitational field would be a boon to any kind of logistics or heavy industry, with workers and machinery able to carry six times the payload they could on Earth. One industry in particular would truly benefit from this - fiber optics. Fiber cables are made by allowing a bead of molten glass to fall several stories, forming a long thin cylinder of glass behind the droplet as it descends. On the Moon it would be possible to make fiber cables six times longer than on Earth, as the tensile force remains the same but the gravitational force is reduced. The easy access to vacuum is also great for all kinds of chemical and industrial processes that are currently prohibitively expensive to do on Earth - such as semiconductor production that relies on clean rooms, distillation, solvent recovery, vacuum forming...and more. In terms of fuel needed to overcome the lunar "delta v", launch costs from the Moon are trivial, so it makes far more sense to build things like rockets on the Moon and do the launches from there than from Earth, if the goal is to reach other planets, so the Moon is destined to become a major spaceport. Lunar mining is also likely going to be very valuable and pay for itself in the near future - even if much of the Lunar subsurface is silicate, its surface is full of asteroid impact sites, and asteroids bring in valuable and rare metals. We don't have to wrangle an asteroid into Earth orbit, if it's just sitting out in the open on the Moon. Finally, the potential for radio astronomy is unparalleled on the Moon's far side, as this is the only spot left in our solar system that is dark to Earth's radio transmissions. I didn't even really go into the presence of Helium 3 isotopes on the natural satellite. H3 is a very useful fuel source for fusion reactions, and it is naturally created on the Lunar surface from the capture of solar wind particles. If we end up relying on nuclear fusion in the future, the Moon will be what powers our entire civilization.

A Venusian atmospheric colony would be completely reliant on outside inputs, and has no resources it can produce for trade, apart from captured gases being turned into polymers or methane rocket fuel. Would people build one? Perhaps the economics would make sense one day if you wanted a crew to start terraforming the surface, or needed a habitat closer to Mercury, but I just don't see polymers alone being enough of an economic draw in the future. The other trouble is because of its higher gravity, Venus is expensive in terms of delta V - you have to spend a lot of fuel to get out of its gravity well. Kind of harms it if you are thinking in terms of trade and travel efficiency.

He just read Delta-V and realized there were a couple problems with Mars.

And I don't. That's why I'm down $120k YTD :V

moves tomorrow are to do more of this haxball shit to distract myself from the fact I could report my employer for massive tax fraud that no one has caught in 2 decades they claim I'm fear mongering about while also giving me all the duties of the director of finance yet claiming they don't think I'm ready for the role despite my performance because I am autistic and anxious. So their plan is to cut the actual director of finance to 1 day a week to save money, and have me do all the work without the title or the pay. Meanwhile the director of finance who's contract ended Jan 31st is trying to fuck them over by delaying sending his contract proposal to maximize his hourly rate. 9 days into the month, no director of finance right now.
