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

I actually like learning about gas giants. How are they able to hold shape and how can they have enough mass to create gravity.

 

[Regular Developer]

And do what?

I dunno... I wish I was high so I had an excuse for these thoughts, but I'm just wanna go explore...obviously with some way of being unharmed

Uhm.. isn’t it just the way it rotates that creates the spherical shape down to the core?

so you telling me all these “planets” are literally just poisonous nasty gas and not actually solid surface things we can aspire to travel to one day? The only real options we have are Mars, a couple Moons and thats basically as far as we will ever get to go in space?

space travel in general is disappointing. 60 years after landing on the Moon we still just orbiting earth doing nothing

Breh we were born 300 years too early easily.

I watch Star Trek like because imagine getting a job to be in space, go to vast parts of the galaxy, know you can come back to early if you want to link with different species.

And you have the some of best tech in the universe. Meanwhile, your medical professionals ok the ship can damn near cure anything. Cancer like like the common cold on Star Trek.

Plus, the bītches outside of Earth are way badder.

I would sign up for Starfleet in a heartbeat.

Everything in Star Trek is basically in the 2300s/2400s. We are cavemen in comparison

Sad part is wondering if we will ever get there. No ones really investing in this shyt to the point to get us there.

we should have a major liveable space colony by now.


In order for all that to happen it would have went down like the show “For All Mankind” where something forced all the world governments to keep dumping s bunch of money into space travel and mining.

you can still land on the moons of those gas giants; hope they don't get too close turn into rings

Its sad now that i think about it, cuz yeah, mankind will probably never explore any celestial body on foot outside of Mars and the Moon. Both of which are empty and boring. kinda disappointing.
We'd be better off exploring the ocean.

And all the planets they claim to be the most habitable with potential for life are millions of light years away in different solar systems or even other galaxies

 

[daemonova]

Wouldn’t we literally burn to a crisp even traveling within range of mercury?

44 days dark, 44 days light, don't land on the light side, rotation and revolution (115 days) Mercury is nearly the same, so a day and a half equals a year.

in the movie The Chronicles of Riddikk, Vin Diesel lands on a Mercury style planet that's a prison.

The Voyager has been travelling for 40 years at 40,000 mph and hasn’t travelled a single Light Day yet.

The next closest solar system is 4 light years away.

We are so far away from any other potential life.

Being a civilian in the Star Trek universe would be GOAT.



Actually being in Starfleet though It would be all good until the ship you assigned to runs into the Romulans or the Borg Even in Star Trek starfleet ships being going missing in space and starfleet be like Until the episode where Doctor went back to the Alpha Quadrant by himself to tell Starfleet that Voyager was still out there starfleet was not actively looking for Voyager, Voyager was just simply declared lost and the starfleet moved on with their lives


Even with the Klingons, Klingons and Humans are cool overall but there still be random birds of prey Klingon ships wanting smoke with starfleet/humans Imagine flying to the Klingon homeworld from Earth to smash some Latina/Klingon mixed breed like B'elanna Torres only to be blown to pieces by a Bird of Prey on the way there



Picard life alone would want me to stay on Earth Assimilated by the Borg and tricked into killing your co-workers, kidnapped by the cardassians and tortured, the events of the flute episode alone would have be like for years.

Found a youtube video that supports this, take its validity with a grain of salt since its a small channel. It says each day is 2 earth months, and theres caves/areas that are frozen permanently and never exposed to the sun so wed use that establish a colony



I dont know why I find this bullshyt interesting

Oh it’s frightening to think about how primitive things are here how ideologies literally get in the way of any kind of real advancement to even come up with a viable way off the planet that happens on a regular basis.

It will literally take another species from elsewhere to be a factor — just like it went down in Star Trek. Vulcans waited for humans to get their shĩt together and observed earth from space just to see if humans could build quality engines.

That was their way to determine if a species was smart enough to handle what was in the “community” of space

Oh civilian life in Star Trek is a cake walk because earth is protected like it’s the damn White House

Plus the people on earth benefit from all of the hard work starfleet does.
