don’t they think europa has an ocean under the surface ?

It absolutely is. Space is stupidly vast, and our fastest theoretical speed is stupidly slow. And even the energy requirements to get to an even reasonable percentage of the speed of light is stupidly high.

Still, we're still in diapers in terms of technology that isn't impossible. We still don't have a good way to explore our very own solar system, even our closest neighbor. We don't have the means to do long-term power in space, to build on other planets, etc.

I think the next century is going to be just that, spearheaded soon by Starship hopefully. Develop the tech to stay out there longer, further, reliably, sustainably. Only then, with some major improvements in propulsion tech, we might start looking at interstellar travel.

Well... apart from. The other 10%.

That is kind of depressing to hear

Hello u/NeckingMyself, your submission "Do you think we will ever be able to start warping in space this century?" has been removed from r/space because:

• Such questions should be asked in the "All space questions" thread stickied at the top of the sub.

Please read the rules in the sidebar and check r/space for duplicate submissions before posting. If you have any questions about this removal please message the r/space moderators. Thank you.

I don't think "sooner or later" is a good understanding.

Everything we know points towards FTL being entirely impossible. Warp drives are math cheats, that don't really comply with our current understanding of physics.

They are, more likely than not, impossible, and will always be.

We kinda need to figure out if it’s actually possible to do such a thing. Even if it is theoretically possible, I think we would need an amount of energy inaccessible to us right now with our technology.

A good anount of RF traffic

This is now a live-fire exercise the pilot doesn't need

If there’s enough atmosphere to support a balloon, it’s not space yet.

I think they were talking about the top and upper-right spikes being forked, not about the spikes being present.

What would that balloon have learned that wasn't already on Google earth and publicly available GPS data?

they also buy replacements if they haven’t been used

missiles don’t last forever

US military buys 600 Sidewinders a year

You don't think they buy replacements once they've been used?

Edit: imagine being so upset by a basic question that you feel you have to downvote it. Some people are weird.

Everyone on Miranda is dead. It was the Pax. The G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate that they added to the air processors.

Well your user name doesn't need to be redefined at least.

Uhhh, well shit. I guess I need a new definition

The article is a bit of clickbait, It's not so much legal fuzziness as more there's no one agreed upon international defined limit, many countries use the Karmann line as the legal standard whereas the US defines it as 50 miles. So it is legally defined It just depends on where you're standing on the surface of the planet

Should we call the limit on the where international waters start "fuzzy" just because the Chinese use a greater distance from their shores than the US and other countries?
