Merged Jestblaze's Thoughts

deleted; after some further thought and research, it's not clear whether the clip in question is still under copyright (it was originally published in 1943). The quote may well have qualified as 'fair use,' but when it doubt . . .

Were it even possible to expand the atmosphere out to the moon, the moon might not like it. I suspect it would just find the whole thing a bit of a drag and end up leaving orbit.....
 
Did he ever wonder why the moon no longer has an atmosphere, or why Mars has lost most of its atmosphere?

(I don't even know why I try)
 
You know, a lot of people mention deserts, frozen areas, and the bottom of the ocean on Earth.

What about the top of the ocean? Why no love for floating cities and/or artifical islands? You don't have to worry about a small pressure leak sawing peope in half, for example; breathable air is greatly simplified; transportation is easier (ship, helicopter, plane, and blimp instead of submersibles); engines allowing limited mobility (doesn't need to be a lot) can allow for moving out of the way of storms, wars, or similar problems...or "migrating" north to south to help maintain a nice temperature. Aquaculture can be more easily done on the surface, with fish farms and such around the edges (netted- or walled-in fish pastures).

Come on, love the eternal cruise ship, people!

:D

This is the best idea of the lot. No worries about pressures from the deep, no silly "space elevators" to worry about, and no thickening of Earth's atmosphere to make it as crushing as Jupiter.

Just anchor it to some shallow seabed and be done with it. You don't even have to worry about nationalities.


ETA - and you don't have to go raping and pillaging prisine land to do it either.

Wel, see, you don't want it anchored, you want it mobile. And the raping an pillaging is part of the package (pirate city...ARG!)

:D
 
I really can't understand the OP, but can someone reassure me that he's not claiming that imagining having sex with a family member will make her psychic?
 
Here are some things I've thought I've discussed telepathically which i now believe was only subconscious.

The age defying enzyme can only be synthesized if it is made with a lipid membrane enclosing the two alkalinities of the enyzme and protein
The LMC's around the world need to collaborate better and start using ribosomal based energy sources for bionanotechnologies
More when i think of it.

Wow, i know what you read , and misunderstood to get this, but you really, and i mean really **** the bed in regards to comprehension of the subject.
 
The moon lacks trees because it lacks squirrels to climb in them. Mars lacks trees because it lacks sheep to lounge in their shade. Both bodies lack appreciable atmospheres because they lack docile, temperate mammals to breathe them.
 
Well, to be fair, that would correct the overpopulation problem...

:D

I think the runaway greenhouse effect and crushing atmospheric pressure from a 250,000 -mile atmosphere might do for the Earth's population first. Or indeed just suffocation.
