Re: Food For Thought
Going to the moon in 1969 was great, but for today's knowledge it is not. Reaching another solar system in 200 years will be relatively normal. Knowledge is a compoinding factor - everytime a new discovery is made, millions of ancililary new finds come to us for nought.
This has nothing to do with my question. It does not answer why you say...
The relativity factor applies.
Applies to what?

With one dollar you'll have 2.147.483.648 dollars, which is still nowhere near 11 billion.

Re: Food For Thought
The relativity factor applies to the rate of human expansion throughout the universe. A new discovery can emerge which makes travel time for great distances not a major issue. Most incurable killer deseases active for 1000's of years were conquered with one idea - and penicilin was discovered by accident. There is an internal mechanism in the universe which caters to human sustainence - else we would not have reached this point. The macro and micro are in sync.

We do not currently have the ability to go to the moon, nor even to put astronauts into orbit.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

I will check this out another day. Last time I did, the 30th day amounted to 5.5 Billion.

Its situational. There is an economic issue today - not a lack of ability.

We as humans can still put men in orbit. sorry, just being picky.

The issue of all the last debates centred around one issue: does humanity have to seek and acquire new habitations outside earth eventually - or perish?
A; Absolutely.
The rest is irrelevant.

Your use of relativity is rather confusing. sorry

We need to increase living space - more lands - to save the population - else nothing matters and nothing makes sense. Lowering population, a heinous premise of losers, is antithetical to the pretense/insanity - of helping humanity. Bite the bullet and free yourself - Genesis is spot on.
You ARE INSANE how the hell can we increase living space today???????????????????????????????????????????????????
They just dont make any more land especialy fertile land and our population is alredy starving at 7 billion, and you want more of us how many would it take for your grand scheme of reaching new planets to settle dubble tripple the amount how many spaceships do you think we can construct with a daly ration of a fist of grain per person????
lower the population to 3 billion so we have an excess of food then we have all the time in the world to conqure the entire galaxy, when we get to a new planet if it is simmilar to earth in what the planet can provide multiply again to 3 billion so there would be 6 billion of us 3 on earth 3 on the new earth and repeat untill the end of time.
If we keep increasing our population on earth the planet will not be able to sustain us and we will die out before we even desighn a craft capable of taking us of this rock.

Re: Food For Thought
By my calculations, you'll need a bit more than 5.12 dollars to start with.

Because of two recent crashes the Russians have discontinued manned launches. Just temporary, most likely, but there you have it.
