You didn't answer my question: why is it important what country they settle in? Is it more important for them to contribute to Australias economy, or the US economy or India's economy? That is very Nationalist of you.
Have you seen the margins of modern corporations? They are off the charts, especially in the computer industry. You are right, they all do it and that why.
What is the difference if he was a math genius and did his work in Delhi or Australia? Why would it matter so much to you what country he was currently residing in? You sound like a nationalist.
Oddly the Fields Medal given to Birkar was stolen after the ceremony. We looked everywhere for it, but never found it. If you see anything that looks like a Field Medal on eBay please let me know.
Rei and people like him are just relatively wealthy people who made some money in the tech industry and are now entranced by Musk. Completely out of touch with reality and the problems this world faces. They believe he is working to make the world better. Disregard the fact that he is producing CARS for the 1%. Hardly a "green" activity. A car is not "green" (EV or not). In addition, he is going to take them to Mars and away from the regular unenlightened people. Same type of people did the same for Steve Jobs, etc.
It is basically a cult. Rei is a huge cult member. It makes no sense to be so devoted to a company - especially one that makes toys for the 1%. If they were concerned about the environment they wouldn't be "investing" in a company that makes $60,000 cars! These people are out of touch with reality.
Definitely. Because we picked up moon rocks it must be possible to setup off world mines and ship stuff back to Earth. We can land on the moon with mining equipment (and the coilgun), assemble it, drilldown to the stuff we need (I guess we need cut up rocks). We can use an electric coilgun to send the stuff back to Earth by shooting it back indiscriminately. We will then have moon rocks on Earth and go pick them up where they land. We can use those instead of the materials here on Earth.
Very true. Since one thing is possible, all things must be possible (as long as they don't violate the laws of physics), right? I'll have to check my comments where I said we shouldn't attempt to build mines on another planet. I didn't realize that I had said that. Say, can you put me in touch with those space mine engineers? I need to give them some plans on stuff to work on.
In his defense, the idea that is it OK to exhaust all of our resources here on Earth because we will just mine off-world planets is pretty violently stupid. You space nutters are something else. You refuse to address problems on Earth in your escapist fantasies about space.
Don't worry. We will just mine the water from Mars and ship it back to Earth. Everything is possible because my first computer had 64k and my current one has 16GB!
Thats good that everything that is possible by the laws of physics can be engineered. I can't wait until those engineers start cranking out those space mines and interstellar spacecraft!
No, now I understand what we can do what the OP suggested: once Earths resources are gone, we will just mine other planets. It must be possible. You guys just proved it. I learn so much on Slashdot.
I had no idea. I thought they were just getting surface rocks. We are good to go with the OPs plan now. We can exhaust Earths resources because we can now mine other planets.
I don't know. Has anyone ever setup a mine on another celestial body and shipped the mined stuff back to Earth? Why are you so certain it is possible? Because you saw it in a movie?

If everyone would just buy a Tesla we would solve two problems: Tesla's balance sheet and the emissions problem. Solution: buy a Tesla.
Wait...my phone can CALL people? I never knew it had that function.
Have you seen the margins of modern corporations? They are off the charts, especially in the computer industry. You are right, they all do it and that why.
It is amazing how good your margins are when you employ overseas slave labor to assemble your products. But yeah: kudos to the management team.
No, lets not turn that around. Why not just answer my question?
Oh I see. Because of the gender. I understand.
Why would it be more fitting because of Dr Mirzakhani dying? I don't understand.

You really shouldn't be investing. Even if Tesla made a profit in Q3 or 2019, or 2020, it DOESN'T MATTER. The stock is way overpriced.
Who knew that picking stuff up was mining? I just mined a dog turd this afternoon. It wasn't on the Moon though.
Definitely. Because we picked up moon rocks it must be possible to setup off world mines and ship stuff back to Earth. We can land on the moon with mining equipment (and the coilgun), assemble it, drilldown to the stuff we need (I guess we need cut up rocks).

Don't worry. We will just mine the water from Mars and ship it back to Earth. Everything is possible because my first computer had 64k and my current one has 16GB!
Definitely. So off-world mining is possible now? I feel like I am living in the future already!
Thats good that everything that is possible by the laws of physics can be engineered. I can't wait until those engineers start cranking out those space mines and interstellar spacecraft!

Who knew that we visited asteroids under the pretense of scientific exploration and knowledge, but in reality it was to scope out mining operations!
Thats pretty awesome. I didn't know that mining was just digging up surface rocks. Pretty good. Sounds like we are all set then for off-world mining!
