CERES HAS A MOON TOO!! IT'S CALLED DAWN!! #CERESMATTERS

$13 billion.

And I misread it

*Nibb At least spell it right

Hahaha NOPE

Unless you keep exploding on the launch pad, and can't get bases on other planets, but yeah, you're right

Does this also apply to Electric and Magnetic sails? Cause if so; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_sail, btw, there's a thread for this I believe; And; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_sail I'm pretty sure everyone who visits the Sci/Space forums all the time know that Project Starshot uses laser propelled solar sails, So here's the thread link for anyone who doesn't want to go searching for it; But Solar sails are really cool, and depending on where you start in the solar system, and the size of the spacecraft, you could get to pretty decent speeds without lasers, and with lasers, and a small spacecraft, as described by Starshot, could get to .20 c, and perhaps higher if you keep the laser focused, perhaps as high as .40 c, or maybe even higher, I dunno. Solar sails will allow us to go to the stars, and Antimatter will help us colonize them. Anyway, does anyone know what the maximum speed for a non-laser propelled Solar sail is, for a tiny spacecraft?

I read this as 1,000 years, so I put type 2, but I think we'll be between type 3 and 4.

We're so early, there's a typo in the description.

So basically... We need 100 percent clean energy, vertical/floating cities, interplanetary colonization, and space mining in order to sustain the Earth's population by 2100. Of course, we all know this, but it'd be great if you guys could share this everywhere

All of the above, really

Lolololol I still think the first Batman V Superman trailer he did was the best.

No, I heard about it about a year ago, but I forgot about it, and remembered when I saw a facebook post about the Onion.

Good enough, thanks

But observations don't tell you much, you have to study it up close.

Say, Venus, or Mars, or Europa, or Enceladus, or Titan (Those are the 5 most popular targets for finding life on Moons and Planets) or all 5 had life, what should we do? Should we study it or leave it alone, now, the outer space treaty says that you would not be permitted to study it, but finding life would likely push NASA to push the UN to make a compromise, How would society react? And, could we safely say, that life should be present everywhere in the universe? And, as for Mars, would we still try to colonize it? I'd like to see your thoughts But please, follow the guidelines, a discussion like this could easily become locked.

Yep and yep

Ah, well, this is a pretty awesome website.

Have you clicked the link?

Dude, that's so cool!

Quick question, how fast would you be going from geostationary orbit back to the atmosphere to reenter?
