Yep. Billionaires tend to ruin the world. But we will probably wipe ourselves out before we can have replicating robots in space. Have you joined a church, and discussed the End Times with your pastor (I go to a church, but have not discussed End Times stuff with my priest yet).
It is good that you became non denominational. What year did you think your dream was set? 21st or 22nd century?
Tech will not become that advanced in our world that quickly. Remember people thinking we would land on Mars by 2020 back in the early 2010s? It is looking to be 2040 at this point. Remember folks saying we would have nuclear fusion by 2030? It is looking to be 2050.
Why the need for a magnetosphere? If you've got an atmosphere, that provides plenty of shielding from radiation, and an intrinsic magnetosphere doesn't seem to be needed to protect the atmosphere from erosion. (And in any case, if you're capable of generating an atmosphere largely from scratch, maintaining it seems like a pretty easy task.)
Are you a futurist? You remind me of Michio Kaku, a good guy, but one who thought we would have driverless cars before 2030.Tech could advance incredibly quickly if people are motivated enough and funding for research is less constrained like what happened during WW2.
The technological advancements during the few short years of WW2 is just ridiculous. Never to be matched again at least until the coming age that I saw in my dreams.
Most people think money is a huge enabler of innovation. However, in reality, it's more of a hindrance especially to the space program. Because of our over-populated planet, Resources have become limited and needs to be allocated. Money serves that purpose of allocating resources. However, this also means ideas that aren't likely to generate revenue would only receive little or no funding even if that idea could prevent the extinction of the human race.
Space travel is generally seen as far too risky and less likely to get funding. There are simpler, far less risky ways to make obscene amounts of money.
Back in WW2, winning the war is the only objective, not making tons of money so even crazy ideas that are incredibly expensive to execute gets funding and that is why tech advancements during WW2 proceeded at a phenomenal rate.
At the coming age, the vast majority of the human population will be wiped out. Only 1 to 10 million human beings on Earth remaining. At that point, we stopped allocating resources and stopped using money nor any form of trading altogether. We simply made what we loved to make and gave them away for free - we can also get what others have made for free so it was all fair and amazing. Poverty no longer existed and everyone lived in abundance.
Ugh, futurists. Thankfully I grew up and realized they just dwelt in fantasy.Are you a futurist? You remind me of Michio Kaku, a good guy, but one who thought we would have driverless cars before 2030.

Agreed. I used to be a bit of a futurist as well, cos of Popular Science magazine and a book "Physics of the Future" by Michio Kaku until I saw that most of that periodical was bologna.
What's your evidence for these statements? As far as I know, complete loss of the magnetic field would result in only a modest increase in background radiation levels -- small compared to existing variation in surface radiation from different local geologic conditions. What chemical reactions are you referring to? What I've seen proposed is that loss of the magnetic field led to an increase in oxygen caused by loss of hydrogen to the solar wind. I have no idea whether that's accurate or not, but it doesn't sound like what you're proposing.

Ah, Popular Science, a common vector for "futurist" stuff. Leaving HS and getting better reading material got me away from that one. You missed out on OMNI. That mag was weird.
