@Koyuki A supernova is the least of our worries. It’s so humanity would survive a mass extinction event in general.

@Hiiii Your lack of education is showing. Supernovas are unequivocal and extensively supported phenomena in astrophysics, backed by a wealth of observational data and scientific consensus. This is not a mere theory; it’s a well-established fact. Addressing issues only when they occur, rather than proactively, is a mindset contributing to the challenges we face in addressing climate and environmental concerns today.
Hiiii
October 15, 2023 at 1:35 pm
@Koyuki none of what you said matters in the slightest because I didn’t say super novas don’t exist in the universe, I said we don’t know when our sun will go or if it even will because we have no observational data to support any real date for the expiration of our sun.
Try again
Koyuki
October 15, 2023 at 5:08 pm
@Hiiii None of what you said matters in the slightest because the inevitability of our Sun’s eventual expiration remains unchanged, irrespective of our knowledge about its precise expiration date.

@Koyuki good to see a parrot in human form spout nonsense back at you. You can sound intelligent but you still have no point.

Survival mainly. That star isn’t always going to shine and if we have humanity in more than one solar system then we’re less likely to get taken out by a rogue astrological body or event. We could get interstellar with nuclear bomb propulsion but intergalactic I really can’t imagine us in this form without FTL getting there.

All the money that would be spent to leave our solar system should be spent fixing and improving Earth. In my humble opinion.
Slowazzd21
October 13, 2023 at 3:03 pm
God this is such a dumb take that I’m tired of hearing. “All that money” that we spend on space exploration actually directly benefits our planet, just google “NASA spinoff technology” and you’ll see they’re responsible for thousands of innovations we use here on earth every day to improve our lives and our planet. So please keep your ignorant hippie dippie BS to yourself

Humanity isn’t going to change as a whole…religion, the need for resources…and just humanity’s need to be constantly have conflict with one another will only get worse…some of us can leave before the rest of us kill us all….some humans just want all of us to suffer and burn…If I had my way and interstellar exodus was available I’m leaving…I’m not staying here with the rest of you lol

Jon Ortega
October 15, 2023 at 4:35 pm
It’s not that we are not spending money to improve the Earth because we are spending it to leave the solar system. That’s a false dichotomy. We spend way more money on even less meaningful things. Also, do you think “spending money” means that the money just disappears? It get’s re-injected into the economy and it’s spent on other things.

We can’t even make it back to the moon apparently so… probably not
Stig Rabbid
October 13, 2023 at 4:04 pm
That isn’t correct, we could have gone back at any time, but NASA wasn’t able to get the money to go for a long time. NASA has a return to the moon planned for late next year with Artemis II, which will orbit the moon, and a Moon Landing planned for 2025 with Artemis III.

It’s funny how convinced he is that he’s right about this. But then he doesn’t know anything about the abilities we might develop, i.e. using our ‘astral bodies’ to travel while physically staying on earth, or finding other ways to access other dimensions. Also, what if aliens visit us and show us how they did it? People are too busy expecting them to want to kill us to ever think about what they might teach us.
