for resource extraction

Except the resource was tax payer money.

As we understand it, there would be no 'stopping' the conversion to true vacuum once started, it would head out at light speed from the origin and just erase/reconfigure everything in its path. It's a suicide pact technology, you'd wipe yourselves out along with the rest of the (local) universe.

A species with the mentality able to do that almost certainly would've nuked themselves out of existence earlier in their civilisation's development.

He's just here to smoke some meats.

I did door-to-door for one day. Speaking to the older hands who'd been there for a while, hearing how they secure sales, I knew it wasn't for me.

I for one hope this never gets patched out.

Just remember, these ass hats know exactly what they're doing... in both Texas and Florida, they're creating dystopian hellscapes just bad enough to put off potential Democrat voters from moving there - if they do it right they might be able to stave off the demographic death of the GOP for another few election cycles.

And somehow the UK loses NI?

*Blue Origin modules still pending the outcome of the next five lawsuits...

Most interesting info here is the move from 11bit's Liquid engine to Unreal engine for development.

It's that risk you talk about which might be the impetuous for some people. Some will just not be willing to take the chance that their suit, however expensive, might let them down- and let's not forget, in these environments you are one mistake away from death at all times.

True

Given their track record that might be all they want them for.

Equality before the law; rich and poor alike are banned from sleeping on the streets, stealing food, and begging for spare change...

Christ I just realised I bought KSP as an early adopter for a tenner and I've put over 1500hrs into it since then.

I owe the devs like £14,990.

Another bunch of losers

I'd say this and Cloverfield are the only found footage films I've enjoyed.

It's specifically mentioned in fact that the mission is on the far side of the Moon and out of direct contact with Earth.

Did he stutter?

Galactic Harming

I've been told a dozen times by different people for years that I sound like a lecturer. I've never worked in academia in my life.

With modern tech? A long time. If 3d printing is really developed and revolutionised, a lot less time.

Yes, it would be incredibly hard if not impossible with todays technology to make a self sufficient colony anywhere beyond Earth.

Not related to the fact that resupply is impractical for sustaining a colony.

Reread what I wrote. I'm pointing out that resupply is impractical, thats why you need to be resource independent.

Very good questions, and I hope to hell there would be answers sealed in an envelope somewhere before the colonists even left Earth orbit.
