Learning about “Gas Giants” is one of the most disappointing things growing up

[doublecheese]

When you look up your its not the planets youre seeing. Its the intelligence of said planetary sphere. Word to the tree of life.

The gas giants are on another level of fukkery that humans can’t even fathom. Our best bet is to terraform Venus and Mars and create underwater worlds on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. If humanity’s science bag was truly deep we’d use some crazy gravity beam to bring Titan into the inner solar system to see if it would evolve into a second Earth.

That’s some fantastical shyt, but terraforming Venus and Mars is somewhat doable but there has to be a lot of advancements in the current technology. But those are somewhat obtainable goals and it would provide more locations for human habitation. Only real issue aside from tech would be the ethics of playing god in that way.

Wonder if Uranus has a Harlem?

 

[3rdWorld]

Gas giants with a smaller solid iron core or something.

 

[Pistolvania Prince]

I was waaaaaay too high to watching that last night. shyt gave me nightmares

because we can barely put together proper funding to take us past the moon, how are we going to travel to a whole other galaxy. Andromeda is the closest one but it‘s unfathomable that anything we have on earth could take us there.

its just something we will never be able to prove

andromeda is heading towards us

 

[Fill Collins]

Astronauts on those Apollo missions had balls

Only part I read

 

[The_Unchosen_One]

What about Uranus?

The true gas giant

 

[Yaboysix]

I just think of space as Fake as a easy way to cope...

We Ain't and never WILL do real shyt up there...

We traveled to the moon ahunnid years ago...

Cool, why we won't do it again?

Oh, y'all destroyed all the technology and records from back then so you can't replicate it?

You say we have NO reason to go back?

You say it's too expensive!?

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Doesn't it take like a few months to fly from Earth to Mars in one direction? I can see why a manned spaceship has yet to make that trip If the spaceship gets an mechanical problem in the part of space between Earth's moon and Mars you are fukked It's not like there's a spaceship equivalent of a tow truck that can bring you back to Earth


Astronauts on those Apollo missions had balls of steel it took a couple of days to reach the moon and once you leave Earth orbit you are on your own I know them Apollo 13 crehs had PTSD after they made it back to Earth.

Facts.

People don't realize how ridiculously vast space is.

If all the Colibrehs hopped on a spaceship and traveled from Earth to Neptune....we wouldn't hit Neptune until 2037....and this is a planet within OUR solar system.

Our galaxy...from the Sun all the way to Pluto (not a planet but still in the Milky Way)...that's nearly 4 BILLION miles. That's just our galaxy. Now keep in mind there are billions of galaxies. Some smaller than ours, some bigger etc.

There probably isn't much popping in our galaxy, but you can only imagine what's going on in all those other billions of galaxies. We've hit our limits for exploration IMO. We will need a major bump in capability to really explore space travel. On top of that...even if you were immortal and could fly from Earth to some other galaxy, by the time you got back, everything and everyone you ever loved would be dead. Like if George Washington said "go to deep space my nikka" in 1789, you'd be lucky to be back NOW and you'd probably still be traveling to your destination.

Gas giants have rocky cores, but they’re buried under the thick atmospheres you’d never reach them without dying horrendously. The pressure of a few miles of ocean is enough to crush most things, imagine a few thousand to tens of thousand miles of ocean

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Learning about space is depressing, there is so much out there, and we will never see it

There are over 100 billion stars in our Milky Galaxy alone, but it would take us thousands of years to travel to the nearest one.

Then you see stuff like this.

We are nothing.

What's scary and crazy is we don't know where none of it came from.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Keep Jupiters name out ya mouth cuz. It’s the GOAT and big don planet

Jupiter actually protects earth by absorbing large astroids.

 

[mvp_status]

Couldn’t imagine being disappointed about shyt being empty in a place called “space.”

They gassed it up though

Nevermind another galaxy, we dont even have the technology to travel within our own lol mind you our solar system is a speck in the milky way.

Even with complete focus and all the funding in the world....we'd probably still be a hundred years off or more.
