When you understand that even the Earth is not a ball, but a tessellated 3d polygonal object.

It's a pretty pity that the Roman carriages were harnessed with horses. The two-elephant-backs-wide roads would be much more practical these days, when people have heavy cars.

Like natural woods of SLS rockets. The humans are the natural way to make things naturally by nature. They are a developed, self-organized part of the Earth lithosphere.

Btw, did the fern woods grow on mountains? I mean, they are cursed to need much water.

IBM was thinking so in 1980s. Until they had realized that somebody in their directorate has a talented boy, wishing to own his own small micro software company. What a disgusting sexism. What about the briefcase gals? Btw... The Manhating project. They used 15 000 t of silver for the calutrons to enrich uranium split tuballoy into oralloy and depletalloy. But those 15 000 t didn't disappear. They can be reused for electric currents of a Manhating Brain for the AI.

The main problem with any used stuff reusage is that the cost of space crafts is overpriced by orders of magnitude. Any rocket, any spaceship, any space station module is just a big alumagnium/alulithium cistern with not-a-rocket-science common-use equipment inside, and several expensive single-use components, like main engines for the rockets, dedicated experiment tools for the modules (which usually becomes a bulky and heavy scrap after several months of usage for that exact experiment). The most part of the cost is not the hardware cost itself, but the salary and other payments of all involved personnel besides the engineers and workers, who put their signs, discuss, guard, control, and service the former ones. All those bureucratic rituals result into years of development of every space object instance, and thus years of monthly payments for all these bureaucracy games. Thus, there is no sense in saving or reusing of most part of the space hardware. Its own cost is nothing, compared to the human budget games. Just compare a spaceship to a passenger plane, or a bomber, or a cruise ship. Both small Orion and oceanic cruise liner cost about a billion. The same with everything other everywhere in the world. It's a pure nonsense, having nothing common with technical efficiency and efficacy.

Gets planet rings. Inserts E-class asteroid.

Banned for mentioning such ability.

The ISS empty volume is about 400 m3. So, if bring 400 t of water and fill the ISS with it, it would be an orbital aquapark with a labyrinth of modules, without hydrostatic pressure, combining both zero-g and hydro-zero-g. Also it would be twice heavier, and thus with a twice less drag. As the water is a good anti-rad protection, this could be orbiting at higher orbit, in the radiation belt, and thus can be used as a cheap particle detector, including the space neutrinos. It can be populated by various fish, and be a contact fishtank for the customers. And at the same time it would be a biolab to study the fish herding in zero-g, and zero-g fishing. When the ISS aquapark finally gets decommissioned, they can use an ion tug to bring this 400 t of water to the Moon or wherever they want.

Calling 911 to ask is the world real.

Gets a mud crab. Inserts its claw.

"For the purposes of the Artemis project, we are renamed to Moonasa."

The evil people call themselves good, so the good wins in any case.

A moment, please. I'll bring a surfactant for it. Meat frier! That piece of charcoal beef, please.

I like its Mad Max the Furry Road allusion. Are the sugar bombs radioactive?

You understand something in them.

When you have: decoded the DNA of your own planet species; created and put into exploitation the DNA synthesizers and the incubators to develop a digital DNA model into a living body; created thousands of artificially designed species from DNA parts of the rabbit, the chicken, and the bamboo, merged together, and augmented with parts of created from scratch DNA of the unicorn; and thus can create any creature you prefer to inhabit your land; you won't need any local alien lifeform to populate your lovely and balanced paradise, and thus your exobiological studies will be limited with the first several Earth-like exoplanets, or maybe even won't be ever a thing at all. You may be interested in using of some already existing and ready-to-use exotic species (like those funny speaking bipedes with five-fingered hands from the yellow dwarf system) to populate and decorate some planet (especially since the developed life should be rare in the Universe), but usually you will just ignore the local lifeforms or even sterilize the planet before sending colonists there. Why need the kangaroo, koala, and other marsupial trash, when you can just populate Australia with rabbits, sheep, dogs, giant frogs, and other normal animals from your land, and are able to create the kangaroo from the rabbits by slightly modifying their DNA? Do you care if the big jumping thing with a bag is kangaroo or rabbit? Just call it kangarabbit. Or a swinopotamus for an artificial behemoth herded for lard. All of that is being done right now, and doesn't require space travels, antigravity, teleports, or fusion reactors. This means that a custom body production would be achieved long before the regular interstellar travels and building of galactic empires. This means that unlikely the interstellar civilisation can have any biology but bioengineering, or be interested in other biological species themselves. At the same time, the mind is not as easy, and is not necessary nailed to the biological carrier. So, the mind study is what the developed civilisation will actually need. (But not in the sense of first making somebody go cuckoo by social pressing and gaslighting, then milking him for money by feeding the helpless pray, lying on the couch, with vague words). The memory storing, the thoughts exchange, the mind control, the possessing of a custom body, the backup/escape of personality, the reality augmentation, various other things, requiring various studies from the brain vivisection (like cleaning an onion to sort out and isolate the exact electric pulses between exact cells) to the global electric activity, strangely matching the human brain wave frequencies ( don't they interact? aren't the human brain waves evolutionarily synchronized with the Earth atmo/magnetospere resonant frequencies? can't they be affected by the low-frequency pulses like the monstrous HAARP-like emitters? isn't the brain at all a network adaptor, interacting via the Earth electromagnetic field as an electric amplifier, with a cloud storage where the inner reality and thoughts do exist? can a human stay sapient beyond the Earth atmosphere, or his brain will say "low signal", and the human will turn into a thoughtless monkey? thus, the question of 200% guarantee that the Apollo astronauts (not the landers which had an option of remote control, and thus could be crewless, but the humanbeings) have indeed been on the Moon is significantly more important than just flags and footprints, as if the consciousness of sapient species is nailed to the native planet, then physical interplanetary travels are impossible, and only remote control of the exoplanetary species' mind can let you visit other planets and stars; if/as the human brain waves, and thus emotional state, decisions, and thoughts, can be probably affected by modulating electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere/magnetosphere oscillating circuit, then the HAARP-like emitters are just children toys, compared to the ability of remote electromagnetic modulation from another star, and ths give a theoretical possibility to affect/control/possess the other star dwellers from interstellar distance before they even notice that something happens; ) All of that means that the minds and personalities of the other civilisation would not be important for a developed interstellar civilisation, and the SETI is just an infantile nonsense caused by the XIX-XX romantism, like the naked couples on the Pioneer tablets. (It's funny, though, that the first thing sent via the interplanetary FIDO was the "couple of standing adult nudists" from PioneerHub). So, the developed civilisation would treat any biological and/or sapient species (including their native ones, let alone the aliens) only as a possible resource. "Girls, remember! The only reason why someone is interested in your inner world, are your <a short homonym to a little bird>s." Thus, the contact with a developed civilisation would look like the excellent s01e22 Reckoning episode of the Legend of the Seeker. Richard and Cara have moved to the future. They see a devastated land, covered with ruins which were intact buildings just moments ago, and some degraded fanatic people. All survived people minds are already possessed by Master Nicholas Rahl, The Confessor, living in a dark cave somewhere near, whom they serve to. They find Shota, their familiar witch, 58 years older than she was before their jump. Richard sends Shota to find Master Rahl and bring him a message. Shota goes, meets the Rahl's degraded bandit guards, asks for audition, is guided to the cave. Once she has entered the dark cave, and calls for Master Rahl, he suddenly appears from the dark before any hello, gets her mind possessed, and starts interrogating her, then sends her back. In their own turn, all Master Rahls, while being biologically human, are possessed/driven/contact with less material entities. Being combined with their long-lasting studies of mind and memories, this will lead any developed civilisation to the mind battlefield, where any biological species makes sense only as a ready-to-use tool, saving efforts otherwise required to construct it artificially. They don't need the human bros for drooling on each others' shoulder from happiness of two lonely hearts. They may or may not appreciate the humans as a hardware for their firmware software, or as a food for their sapient kitties, or as a fertilizer for the grassland of their cute ponies. Their aim should be in establishing and expanding their mind network between the stars, and through the depth of their fabric of reality. The humans or any other species are just organized matter, like the crickets, which you can listen or cook, depending on your needs. The interstellar expansion of a developed civilization would be a hack-and-slash slash-and-burn agriculture, not a tea party with neighbors and ginger cookies. The devs will come, burn everything around to sterilize and fertilize the ground, then plant what they need (crops), leave some local speies to serve them (the predator birds, nesting on specially left leafless big trees, to hunt the rodents and sparrows between the crops), then a decade later leave the place to return a half-century later to repeat. The only difference that instead of burning the bushes and small trees with torches, they will use either Sundial-like gigaton nukes, or relativistic kinetic impactors, or a focused beam from the nearest neutron star magnetosphere. And instead of the eagles and falcons they can use some amount of humans with possessed mind, to hunt everything unplanned, and beautify the surrounding landscape. The only reason why they can contact the humans, are the enormous interstellar distances, making it hard to remotely control the other star dwellers in real time. But as their aim would not be having a family chat, but expansion of their unified mind network, it would be enough for them to take under control some part of the aimed civilisation, impregnate its mind, turning them into faithful servants, and using them as a breakthrough group, reformat the civilisation into what they need to possess, and then modify. No need to send your squid-like body to the hostile planet, if your mind can be reproduced in the local monkeys' brains. Don't be racist, the mind decides. This in turn means that no Dyson Spheres or Intergalactic Power Network are required. What a developed civilisation requires, is an ability to remotely manage other civilisation, to slash-and-burn/hack-and-slash what they need to, and a breakthrough from the material world into the very reign of mind, wherever it exists, to rule the material world directly and unlimitedly. So, on the physical plane they would need not a Dyson sphere, but the places of concentrated energy and magnetic fields, like the neutron stars or the galaxy/quasar cores, to send beams and cause whirls where they need. The efforts of making humans what the humans don't need would be a much more significant message from another civilisation than stupid SETI pictures and flower garlands on the contacters' necks. Say, eat bugs or prohibit cow f-rting. Finally, the developed civilisation comes to something looking like the gnostic world of some kind, and will be making others to join it, neglecting any of their material nature. If the human civilisation survives, it will in turn either join the winners, or develop its own kind of that. It's an evolutionary process.

The cow contains 100..200 kg of cellulose consuming bacteria in the largest chamber of the stomach. The cow actually can't digest the cellulose, it herds the bacteria, feeds them with the cut grass, and then eats a mess of the bacterial wastes and the excessive bacteria. Thus we can treat the cow as a bacterial colony inside a harvesting sandcrawler.
