By the time we are done with all the 'tests' we will have no resources left for the real thing. In the same way the British brought convicts to colonise Australia, we should do the same to colonise Mars. Yes, boohoo, an isolated trip to Mars can hurt psychological fee fees. Do you think it was any easier for people who sailed the seas back in the day? People on those ships on year long voyages would have been even more alone than if you sent people to Mars
Have you ever read anything on it or researched it.
Or do you, since you claim to be above the Archangels and just one rung below God, already know everything?
Here is a little review on the topic, Dirty Rockets, What's the environmental impact of going into space? By Nina Rastogi.

How many trips do you think it would take to get a million people to Mars, as per Elons goal?

The odd trip, the damage can be repaired. But the required frequency to get a million people to Mars will be another 'CFC' like scourge on our ozone

Please dont act like you know anything about chemistry ever again.


What was your problem with what I said?

Not too much. It’s kind of weird to say kerosene exhaust creates NOx. Nitrogen shouldn’t  be found in kerosene.  NOx is obviously former from the nitrogen and oxygen in the air coming together while other combustion is taken place. And chlorine when in the molecule CFC can be dangerous to the ozone. I don’t really think rockets use it make that but maybe they do.

It’s more just you shouldn’t be talking about it.

I talk about whatever I want, when I want. Too bad for you

When did Elon say that he wanted to take a million people to Mars?

Or do you not understand that a significant percentage of his planned million person colony would would be born on Mars instead of transported there?
He estimated that the first colonists could begin setting out in a decade, and said it would take between 40 and 100 years to ship enough people over to Mars to populate a city.

I've got to agree there,  but personally, I think that any idea of moving millions off-planet is simply science fiction and in my opinion, just isn't going to happen.

That is unless some other form of propulsion than chemical rockets is developed.
Ionic propulsion has a far better "Specific Impulse" than chemical rockets, but as yet nothing can approach the chemical rockets for the brute force thrust needed for vertical launch.

Enough rocket science!

The most we might see is "seed colonies" of maybe hundreds, but that's so far in the future, that it may as well be science fiction.

Let's see if self-sufficient colonies on say, the moon, can work first, though there are probably more resources on Mars.

Maybe, I'm not far-sighted enough.
As for the earth, either the population is controlled voluntarily or it will happen catastrophically, either way, I won't be here.
Good luck!

I dont think we humans will colonise space in an orderly fashion.

First we get cheap launches to space, this is the biggest step.
This allows for tourism, and larger cheap satellites.
As a result of this, we may end up with space hotels and lot more satellites in space.
Suddenly you need services, such as commercial water and food refining/ recycling depots in space which requires more people up there, but is cheaper than launching new stuff up every time.
Maybe there forms a business case to service satellites, this requires more people.
Someone figures out how to refine mined resources up there, more people.

Before you know it, there are hundreds - thousands of people up there, just doing day to day stuff.
This is all without colonisation efforts.

The most we might see is "seed colonies" of maybe hundreds, but that's so far in the future, that it may as well be science fiction.

There will never be permanent colonisation unless there is
a) a business case to send people there.
b) once there people are there (Moon, Mars or anywhere) they need to be able to sustain themselves without constantly drawing resources from earth, within a few years (20 or so) of arriving.

I think both conditions are not too far away.

Colonisation on earth happened for the same reasons.
 
Oh, and Military. If there is a military advantage of having a base up in space/moon/mars. Then suddenly colonisation speeds up. Those bases need a lot of support, and China is looking to push for Moon bases sooner than most will realise

The only way to actually build a space elevator is to already have the thousands of tonnes of material up in space, and then to lower it down to earth. I dont think we will see anything like this soon . . . or ever . . ?

Launch a satellite with enough carbon fiber cable and a small rocket engine. Once in geosynchronous orbit, the rocket engine leaves the satellite with carbon fiber attached and flies toward earth. Once it reaches earth fasten it to a platform and mount your elevator to it. Easy peasy.

Carbon is not the only thing that destroys our atmosphere. (I use it because everyone uses it as a scale or sorts). Methane is much more devastating for example. Or NOX from planes is also much worse

What do NOx emissions from airplane engines, which produce energy by combustion of hydrocarbons and the oxygen from air in the presence of nitrogen (which is about 80% of air) have to do rocket engines which use combustion of Kerosene (which is a hydrocarbon) and pure oxygen (but no nitrogen)?

Why bring methane into the conversation at all? Methane is not contained in rocket exhaust.

I was just saying that just because the emissions are not 'CO2' doesn't mean it's not harmful for our environment

That's fine. What's your opinion on water vapor. Liquid-fuel rockets emit almost entirely CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water). Water vapor is an effective greenhouse gas, yet, you seem to ignore it.

Rocket launches as they become more frequent will start having a meaningful impact on our ozone layer

Details, please...

Depending on the type of fuel (for example solid) it uses chlorine which is devastating to Ozone, and kerosene exhaust forms nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide, both of which react with ozone in the atmosphere.

Details, please...

Quote
Its not as bad as the space agencies solid fuel, but if Elon wants to send a million people to Mars in quick succession, the cumulative impact could mean that we will really need that extra planet to live on because we fudged this one up getting there

A rockets exhaust in the upper atmosphere where oxygen is less abundant can also form black carbon

Isn't that kinda a big part of the difference between a rocket and a jet? Rockets bring their own oxidizer instead of using air, so abundance (or lack) of atmospheric oxygen doesn't affect the chemical reaction at all.

so launching a car into space for shits and giggles is not a responsible use for a finite fuel resource

It was a test flight. If it wasn't the car, it would have been an inert mass. That car was more expensive than an inert mass, but it obviously worth the extra cost for the publicity it brought both Tesla and SpaceX. Consider all the electrons that have been spilled on this forum alone!

By the time we are done with all the 'tests' we will have no resources left for the real thing.

Lol. We aren't going to use up all the kerosene and available oxygen in test flights. Not by a long shot.

There were a lot of things done in the 18th and 19th centuries that, in retrospect, do not seem like such good things now, like widespread acceptance of chattel slavery. Not to mention that, even today, it would be a bit more expensive and complicated to send someone to Mars than it was to transport someone to Australia from England 200 years ago. For one thing, they didn't have to carry the oxygen they needed, and it was already known that crops, livestock, and available resources could make the colony self-sustaining.

The issue is, once we have the technology and space ship/s that can launch the amount of carbon nano-tubes material into space, we probably wont need a space elevator. The mass of the cable will be in the 1000's of metric tones.
And last I checked (could be wrong) but carbon nano-tubes are just barely strong enough to handle the gravitational pull over the 35 000km required.

By the time we are done with all the 'tests' we will have no resources left for the real thing. In the same way the British brought convicts to colonise Australia, we should do the same to colonise Mars. Yes, boohoo, an isolated trip to Mars can hurt psychological fee fees.

I dont know why the out right criticism for him pointing out pollution and limited resources?

Every human activity uses up resources, even sitting on your arse on these forums.
The great thing about space is, if we do it right, eventually we will be able to utilise the resources in our solar system. There is a lot more stuff up there than down here, and not endangered pandas are going to mind us mining it up there.

As for pollution. That is again an issue with all human activities. Over its a net cost/reward issue that is worth discussing.

Quick google and math

each falcon 9 launch creates 336,550 Kg of CO2
a small 2 bedroom cottage creates about 80 000kg of CO2
the total per-capita carbon footprint for an USA citizen is 19 000 000kg of CO2
the average USA home energy use is about 40 000kg CO2 every year

So relatively speaking, its not that much. But it add to the mix

But, I still find it strange that this new-fangled flat earth theory can't explain the simplest of observations like even the movement of the sun.

Very few actually. I spend some time here once every few months. This time round I can definitely see a drop of Flat Earth responses. Very few questions are posted in the Q&A page, this should be an indication that the movement is losing supporters. That should be where new comers go.

Instead we have a few strong supporters of Flat Earth.
A few Trolls and one or 2 others that come here to argue other conspiracies
And a bunch of round earth proponents looking for a fight

Its entertainment value is failing, I hope a new celebrity says something about the flat earth again soon.

Cursing Elon, gimme a break. We are laughing at you and the Elon fanboys. I think is funny that you boys believe that his Tesla is flying in space. You are so brainwashed that you believe anything NASA tells you, and now you believe Elon. It is pitiful and funny at the same time.

Thanks in advance !
He did link the article.  What did you think the blue text in his post was?
