Ever heard oe oxygen toxication? You can die from getting to much oxygen in your blood :S | ||||
oxygen destroys your organs and leads to severe brain diseases. but we need it | ||||
Yeah most of what we inhale is nitrogen but we don't actually breathe it at all. Our blood doesn't pick it up. | ||||
yes, but we still need it to dilute the o2 - i think | ||||
Anybody know where Naboo is? I have just build a spaceship out of my garage and a washing machine and I want to go somewhere nice. | ||||
Again, Umbar, what do you do in 500 years when the human population is simply too large to sustain itself on earth? Or humans have screwed up the earth so bad simply breathing the air will kill you over the course of years? Best to plan ahead, even if it's just putting a small bit of money in over a long time. "Because the world is full of *beep*s like you who will start dancing up and down from the excitement from it and worship the makers....." Actually, the international space station is, as it's named, internatinal. I am not at all saying this should be built by America, China, Russia, Japan, who cares who. Worship the makers? Are you smoking something? | ||||

"in medieval times war kept down the population, if every year over 100.000 lose there lives in battle (not raid etc.) then teh population won't grow that fast." True, but I don't you or I would like to have been one of those with a sword driven through their guts even if we knew we kept the population manageable... "And don't worry... if scientist study the earth thingys they will find enough ways to maintain it the population of now. do you think that in the Medieval ages they could have maintained a population as large as it now is?" In the Medieval ages half the world hadn't been discovered (by the "civilized" countries.") We have now, more or less, already mapped out the world. "And if the population grows too large too maintain, we can't maintain it...and if we can't maintain it...na...you yourself knows what happens than.....i hope..." Colonization of space, perhaps? ;) Research has already been done on a possible lunar colony, a little bit about one on mars, and as mentioned earlier in this thread Europa seems a fairly promising place. Right now it's merely for scientific purposes... yet it seems commercial industries are also catching up, if you've heard about the first commercial flight into space stuff on the news lately. | ||||

Na....we just die out :( A part of us than....the one with less money...:( Who can't buy food etc. hat than is probably become very expensive....(because there's not enough) Brining people to some other distant planet? Na that only for the real rich..... In the Medieval ages half the world hadn't been discovered (by the "civilized" countries.") We have now, more or less, already mapped out the world. uhm...what has that to do with the maintaining of population? :S | ||||
yes humands cant even live under the sea how can they live on other planets | ||||
"Brining people to some other distant planet? Na that only for the real rich....." Not necessarily. It may be the rich who operate the system of transportation, but eventually it may be cost-efficient for the middle class, and possibly the poor. It wasn't just the rich who went to the New World back in the colonial ages. "uhm...what has that to do with the maintaining of population? :S" Because there was still unused land suitable for farming and industry where surplus population (those who could not find jobs or own their own property) could travel to to begin a new life. Now that the earth's landmass has been mapped, the places to travel to and draw resources from are dwindling. "yes humands cant even live under the sea how can they live on other planets" Not yet, unless you count the giant nuclear submarines that can stay submerged for years. Scientists are researching self-sustaining environments even now... they are still running in to certain problems, but progress is being made. | ||||
Well, if the atmospheric conditions were close enough to earth, they could easily live on those other planets towards the sea. Humans wouldn't be able to breathe under the sea, the pressure would kill them unless they had some sort of special suit on, or were in a boat or submarine or whatever. However, the planets around the earth are near as inhospitable as the sea. ' "Brining people to some other distant planet? Na that only for the real rich....." Not necessarily. It may be the rich who operate the system of transportation, but eventually it may be cost-efficient for the middle class, and possibly the poor. It wasn't just the rich who went to the New World back in the colonial ages.' Well... the rich feared the tranportation of going across the sea, as they feared it was full of monsters, boiling hot, and the world was flat, so they would drop off the edge of the world. The reason poorer people went, is exactly that, they were poor. They feared it as well, they just went across to get riches and the like, as well as rich people, but there were less rich people going, as they had enough money to support themselves anyway, and most ship captains were middle-class. Whereas, if going into outer space to go to another planet, the rich wouldn't fear it as much, and they would only go when disaster was imminent, and so they would overcome their fear. Poor people wouldn't get to go, they'd be left on this world to die. Anway, it's unlikely they'll find a suitable planet, close enough to be able to sustain the people's needs(food and water and other stuff) to go across to other planets, and the rich could pay for this. They'll probably set about changing another panet's atmoshpere near us, such as Mars, so we could live in it. | ||||
Well the first people to go would be the scientists who are being sponsored by a government or corporation. Then there would be people to build the station, then people to service it. Then would be the corporations moving in to sell products to the scientists and workers, then maybe families would come, etc. Changing an entire planet's atmosphere is probably not all that probable, or at least for many, many years. Earth took billions of years to form and hundreds of millions of years to adapt into a life-sustaining planet... | ||||
