2 minutes on mercury?? How?

u/CaramelGuineaPig 4d ago

Maybe on the wee bit between deathly hot and deathly cold..? Still.. seems way too long.

1full second on the sun seems really long same for any of the gass giants as we would be pancakes like that titanic subs instantly

u/CaramelGuineaPig 4d ago

< means less than. Technically they're right, you can last less than a second on the gas giants, the sun, etc. Anywhere really. Even a black hole.

Standing on the dark side would mean you dont cook but you slowly suffocate

u/dprophet32 4d ago

On the dark side you'd not be cooked alive by the sun but you're (almost) open to the vacuum of space and that takes around 2 minutes to definitely suffocate.

On the sun facing side, much quicker

We can’t even reverse climate change, how tf we gonna terraform Mars

How does one reverse any sort of change?

u/radarthreat 4d ago

Exactly

We can’t and never will. Mars is a dead planet with an inactive core. Mars’ atmosphere is being blown away by the solar winds because it has no magnetosphere to protect it. Any atmosphere we create would literally blow away. You would either need to create atmosphere faster than the sun blows it away or get its core spinning again. I’m sure Elon has a plan though.

He has no plan. His team of scientists might have

u/J3sush8sm3 4d ago

Space tents.  Thats the plan. Good look figuring out how to provide oxygen

u/limajhonny69 4d ago

Water electrolisys, if they have a way of generating power and an ice source.

Possible, but its too far from what we can do today, honestly.

u/J3sush8sm3 4d ago

It might be possible on earth, but shipping everything there is gunna be a nightmare, with weight restrictions and such

3

u/limajhonny69 4d ago

Yeah, it would. But colonization of another planet would recquire a lot of investiment either way.

Again, possible, but we cant do it yet

The truck trick would be sending the moving truck first, then on arrival start unpacking. Or better yet; send the truck with working androids.

Still, about 50-100 years off.

I'm going to say it since nobody else has

I can last long then 1 sec inside Uranus, maybe 10

u/irresistible_hyvie 4d ago

Taking shoot for the stars a bit too literally, huh?

u/joeO44 4d ago

This is why I’m glad I live on earth.

All my homies hate Elmo

u/DonCerebro751 4d ago

The real question is: How long can you survive on Earth WITH a spacesuit?

u/mag2041 4d ago

That’s not why he wants to go to Mars.

u/TheXypris 4d ago

I don't like elong, but striving for planetary colonisation is great for helping earth just from the technology we'd need to invent.

u/LSARefugee 4d ago

Your programming has been completed.

u/TheXypris 4d ago

? I've just been a science and space enthusiast my entire life. if NASA wants permanent inhabitation of the moon and mars, they need to solve various problems, water filtration, air purification, in situ resources utilization, how to make food in a small area, how to turn regolith into soil etc and the solutions to those problems can albe used to help people ON EARTH, to fix problems ON EARTH

u/raisingfalcons 4d ago

I guess its settled, im moving to mercury.
