We've been having the should we discussion for thousands of years. Why would we not choose to self select desirable traits for our species?

Space based astronomy is the future. The best thing for astronomy would be cheap launches and a permanent moon settlement.

O2 is the easy part. Moon bases will have so much O2 they will be venting it into space as soon as they start making Aluminium.

Seems more like they are conceding to his demands. I don't like that they are giving his commentary any consideration at all.

Time dilation removes the hard limit, but you'd run into soft limits long before you reached relativistic speeds with current tech so that doesn't make much difference.

Maintaining good genetic diversity in a small population is easier without monogamy. Marriages might remain just for social stability and maintaining traditions but I wouldn't expect it necessarily.

New York has the best public transit in the US and it's still mediocre compared to the the rest of the world.

Reply to Where do photons go if they've been emitted but are destined to never be absorbed, and would these photons traveling ad infinitum define the edge of the universe (even if space itself were still larger)? by mysteryofthefieryeye
From the frame of reference of the photon, time moves infinitely quickly, so it arrives at its destination immediately after departing its origin. If it were to travel forever without ever being absorbed, it would still experience that infinite journey in a single moment of time.
