Re: Interstellar travel

Apparently, for some reason, I stuck in a conversation with a man whose imagination is only enough to eat food prepared by devices that someone with a not so limited imagination invented, put on clothes made on other inventions of dreamers, get into the car that people invented, who in their time w...

Which will lead to new solutions to the problem you described It is utterly impossible for human beings to even begin to grasp the reality of the vastness of space. It is impossible for th...

Question about satellites in Astronomy

Hello! I am interested in a few things about satellites and their role in astronomy. How do satellites affect professional astronomy? And how does it affect the amateur? (heard that many consider them a hindrance) As far as I follow the news in this industry - now their number will continue to incre...

Re: Interstellar travel

Yes, I agree. There is no reason for this. Moreover, in principle, I see no reason to want to go even to a neighboring planet. Although this is already in the plans of one madman. Are we doing well on this planet? Everyone is so provided with everyone that we will have nowhere to live? I do not thi...

Re: Interstellar travel

I doubt. Pardon me, but isn't this pessimism toward interstellar travel by humans biased on a supposition that human frailties will remain such as they are for the indefinite future? What if humanity is somehow able to overcome its existential threats as well as the aging problem that so limit our ...

Re: Interstellar travel

Inter stellar travel will never be undertaken by humans. Maybe by robots, but only if they're all that is left of us, or we've changed ourselves to the point that we are willing and able to take on projects that last for thousands of years. No doubt. I doubt. Pardon me, but isn't this pessimism tow...

Re: Best Android apps for stargazing?

I was just kidding, don't take this too seriously. I am an Android user too. And despite the fact that I'm only 30 and I adore the current era of the Internet and mobile applications, I believe that you need to have a paper map of the stars with you.

Re: Best Android apps for stargazing?

To be honest, you surprised me. I certainly thought that Android users use a telescope, newspaper, and eyes to observe space) Just kidding, of course. Internet sources are now available to everyone. It just isn't necessary to use applications for this. You have all of Google at your fingertips)
