Adjust your mic levels, jeez

Lol, Scott is such a smart-ass. I love it!

I'm just not seeing it.
The Chinese are murdering the elephants just for fun.
The Japanese are strip mining the oceans of every living thing.
Americans (us) are trying to turn the Earth into a Venus lookalike contest winner (something I don't have to explain with an audience like this one).
What makes you guys think that finding a second habitable life-baring planet would act as a "unifying" event in human history?
The most likely scenario is that when we eventually got there, we would kill off anything that wasn't strong enough to fight back (and nothing would be), And then turn the whole place into suburbs and strip-malls. -
I noticed there was a lot of talk about different propulsion systems to take humans to the nearby stars. One I didnt see mentioned was Harold Whites quantum thrusters. He said that a ship using these Q thrusters could make the trip to our nearest star in 30 years. That's a heck of a lot better than 100 years or more that the 100 year star ship people are all hyped up about and that's assuming no further research is done on them.
Also, unless you can get a government to commit to a time line within the next 20 years, you can pretty much rule out ever going anywhere. They will simply keep pushing the start date back time and time again, sort of like what they have done for sending humans to Mars. The date has been pushed back time and time again and now the very earliest they are talking about is 2035. You can count on the same thing happening unless we force the subject down congresses throat. -
Scott Lewis did his first Spacefan News.

Wait, so how many Exo planets are there in the Milky Way? Alberto Conti at 21.10 explains that there are 400 billion exoplanets in our galaxy alone. Later i believe Tony says theres 1 planet (not exoplanet) for every star on average. Read on wiki that theres about 300 billion stars in the Milky Way. All of those numbers cant be right? Did someone mix up some numbers? or did i miss something?

This was really awesome.

Thanks for doing this. Had a great time watching.
-
i can't believe I missed this hangout as well. Thank you work!
-
Seven guys altogether and no women on this Google Hangout!

It looks like we could go through a very long phase in which we know where the earth-like planets are, some filled with life and maybe people, but we don`t have the means to get there or comunicate with them in real time.
-
I think we're as unified as we can ever be with all of our countries. Let's not erase all the borders and become one state just for the hell of it. There would be no benefit.

thank you Tony and company! this was very enjoyable.
