  • One thing that has helped me get out of this nihilistic trap sounds a but mystical but bear with me: The self and your perception of it is a construct of your brain. In reality all conscious beings are the same. You are me and I am you, we experience as one, just with different experiences. Future generations will experience the world for us just as we are experiencing it now for the past.




  • Yeah I’d argue time is actually the most expensive thing for a mars mission. And that’s going to require a hell of a lot of mission time nobody knows how to do yet. We get a head start on it now, getting a working lifter series in production and a functioning commercial lander and habitation scene and you’ll have a much better mars mission. I think the view of mars or bust asap asap comes from a lack of understanding of how big the technical leap is from doing a moon to doing a mars mission.
