@jodmentum@apobangpo.space @sundogplanets@mastodon.social What would you consider as a fall back system in very extreme situations like a nuclear war? Is then a bunker system better then in space? Does it even make no sense in rare special cases?

@ERROR_WTF@chaos.social Sure, IF we could lift that much equipment to geosynchronous orbit, and IF we could construct large orbital infrastructure 22,000 km up, and IF we could get fast, effective, stable, high-speed, low-lag communications from ground to orbit, and IF we could maintain that infrastructure daily, and IF we could manage the heat dissipation problem, and ... it might make sense. Or once we are able to permanently live off-planet. There are too many ifs for our current level of space tech. Not to mention: in a nuclear war, ground infrastructure will be destroyed, and any space-based infrastructure would be sitting duck for satellite killers (a ballbearing with attitude). One day, if we can get our shite together as a planet, but not while big country A has designs on big country B for resource or ideological "needs". @jodmentum@apobangpo.space @sundogplanets@mastodon.social
