yeah i meant the website. i think it’s the website and not the app API because when the website is already open, stuff like upvoting, sending comments etc. which is API stuff is fast. just page (html) load time is slow.

- Comment on US frackers were already facing a global oil supply glut. Trump’s Venezuelan dream could make it worse 5 months ago:
expanding into less and less hospitable environments
the thing is that Mars isn’t even that inhospitable. It only appears that way today because people have no knowledge of it behind the surface.
Like, all you really need to build a settlement is water, electricity and a source of carbon. Mars has all three in ample amounts. There is lots of water on mars (see here). It’s just that it’s buried in rock and needs to be extracted through a technical process.
That’s very unlike Antarctica and the bottom of the ocean where you don’t have energy. And that matters.
Also there’s a spiritual/mystical element to it. People would only complain about “environmental protection” if somebody started drilling for oil in antarctica large-scale to grow food, but on mars there is no such concern. In fact, it is widely recognized that spaceflight is an inevitable destiny of humanity and that humanity needs to turn into a society that routinely relies on high-tech for this, and mars seems like the perfect playground for this. At least that’s how i look at it. Ask away if you have any serious questions :-)

It’s well established that infinite growth cannot happen on a finite planet. That’s why people continue to talk about Mars settlement. Because outer space is literally infinite.

I suspect there’s probably an “oil glut” (i.e. lots of oil being thrown on the market) right now, but it’s not because of Venezuela (that will take years to build extraction posts) but instead because right now, every oil-producing country tries to sell as much as possible before renewable energy will inevitably drop the demand for fossil fuels to near zero around 2040.
