Wouldn't really change much. Instead of fighting for land and oil, they would fight over asteroids.

Think about how in the future there could be an illegal space port on a cloaked asteroid which would act as the tortuga of the space age. So cool, almost sounds like a good location for a sci-fi story...

Lol that's just the daily stuff in Stellaris

@@tumei1851 Too bad you can't cloak anything in space, energy emissions of any kind would give it away, not to mention anyone travelling to/from there. Still, there's more than enough room for SPACE COPS/COAST GUARD, a genre of sci-fi I find sadly lacking in output.

Yes.

did you see pickle rick

To be fair it’s a very important topic for a species only a few centuries away from Type 1!

But hey, its better than most DIY channels

But who's complaining?

That's called teaching i think

It’s pretty relevant id say

brutally

Progress requires sacrifices

They very much made the decision to animate the landing capsule to kill the bird.

You will like the exoplanets channel too

Small price to pay for salvation

The dead bird!!! T_T

lol definitely did a double take at that part. Jesus, the eyeballs!! Sadly I think virtually all industrial activities end up killing wildlife, even ones we consider "green" like wind turbines. But the big picture is more important. Terrestrial mining is many orders of magnitude more destructive than the occasional *splat* from space cargo...

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed

Oh no I didn't notice that he died!

I believe it's a patreon reward.

that was brutal, but I guess it gets the point across. even asteroid mining may not be safe for the environment if done sloppily

Azidotetrazole yh, you get your own bird, no?

Yup I did notice just I don't want to mention

ikr they gave us hope

I just know I won’t be around for so many advancements and accomplishments wich is kinda depressing

Wait till you see the bird die at 5:32

Sorry

Use the first asteroid to create a box to envelop the subsequent asteroids when you want to break them apart.

That's the biggest sh*t that we have to face and would happen for sure if we really send precious metals just like that to earth

Im pretty sure they have designated landing zone with security standing by

I am honestly more curious where we would get enough fuel, to justify such operations. Starting a large scale operation like this would prob cause fuel prizes to sky rocket. You can't make fuel out of minerals.

Underrated

True my friend🤫. But these work If for people like elon musk

Imagine dealing all the fuss with "Karens against space mining"

It would be impossible to move and put an asteroid this size close to earth even if we wanted to

That's the one thing that makes me nervous. It only takes a slight miscalculation or a misfiring from the craft maneuvering the asteroid and the earth gets a big rock slamming into its face.

@@ommsterlitz1805 Nothing is impossible in space, between the absence of air friction, the orbital mechanisms, and so on, you could push an asteroid this big with a little probe, if you calculate right ^^

Nice catch!

Wow i didn't see it Good one comrade

they will if they get more profit mining in space

This is where Crown corporations come in (similar to state owned companies in countries outside the Commonwealth). In Canada most of the major resource and infrastructure developers started as Crown corporations because no one other than the government was willing or able to take the risk. These are also usually organised on a not-for-profit basis where, depending on the charter authorising it, any potential profits either went to reducing cost, improving service, into government coffers, or sometimes into a "legacy fund" of some sort. (Many of these were privatised in the late 80's, with a rapid decline in services and increase in cost following. Ironically, many of these are major providers of essential services so in times of strife the government still has to bail it out anyway without having the benefit of reaping the profits in good times. Air Canada is one of these former Crown corporations that were privatised and has had to be bailed out on numerous occasions.) One notable exemption to a crown corporation being made to fill a gap is several telecom companies that were privately owned but wouldn't take on the cost to provide service to remote areas unless they were granted a chartered monopoly for a given area, thereby guaranteeing a return profit. And before someone says monopolies are inherently bad, the major difference is that these are chartered monopolies they come with conditions, regulatory oversight, and can be revoked. It is likely that the country which to achieve asteroid mining first will be China because they're organised essentially like a nation sized company.

Vibhu Bharadwaj well yeah if you’re stupid enough to put large capacitors in your brain. But if it’s a very low power device like low enough to be powered by nerve signals and doesn’t have its own power source I don’t see how it could be all that dangerous.

Doing something meaningful would require people to not only stop being petty, small-minded fuckwits, but also require the dismantling of decades (sometimes centuries) of archaic bureaucratic systems. So.... maybe in 200 years, if we're still around. Humans don't change as fast as our technology.

planescaped I can’t disagree with you, but doing something meaningful also produces something meaningful. There’s value to it, that’s what powers the global economy, so there is an incentive for investors and politicians to get behind something for the future if the person is doing something meaningful. Fortunately, we millennials and Gen Z are the inherenters of this world. We’re bringing the fire and vigor of good old fashioned will. Let the power of youth explode. - Might Guy

Milenials and Gen Z Politicals : Ok Boomer

@@planescaped The real problem is asteroid mining would require unpralleled international cooperation on regulations for asteroid mining and peace. If a country or even a private companty screws up safety measures a little bit, a rock crashing on earth could cause world war 3.

So finally we can say intersection isn't a null set

Hyper cars tv only initially. Once a space station where parts can be moved around is established it’s basically game.

You have no idea how much I tried explaining that to people

It depends on what you mean by "helping the Earth". Helping poorer nations? Yes, it will help. Stopping climate change? Well, it's complicated. If there is a reasonable alternative - some current power holders will most likely switch, unless it is too expensive in the short term. But what is most likely is that current billionaires will just expand into space, while leaving the state of the earth production the same, reaping the monetary benefits from both.

Headbomb Archer Well if we mine for things like tritium our power will become almost unlimites

Or Nikola Tesla. If we did funding right, we would be far more advanced and safe, and a strong military would seem primitive. (If Tesla's investors weren't selfish, we would have free electricity.)

Emily ploop as far as I know American military even gets to much money they have a surplus of it. And i think a military shouldn’t be a money hoarder.
