What about Bogdan, who was catapulted into space in 1377 in a freak trebuchet accident which was never recorded?

gotta keep someone up there to watch space just in case it gets the wrong idea

This must be a glitch someone's tweet from a different timeline went through ours.

It’s Tim Curry in the only place safe from Capitalism.

This is kind of mind blowing.

It's the year 3250. Two harsh desert planets are in a bitter dispute over mineral and water mining rights over the asteroid belt. The Mars coalition insists that Earth may lay claim only to those rocky bodies that fall past her orbit. Earth insists that anything beyond their respective atmospheres is fair game. They use loaded language and plan to argue that an 'atmosphere' is one that sustains life, meaning she plans to mine uninhabited stretches or Martian soil too. There is serious debate on Earth of the inhabitants of Mars are even human anymore, cross breeding has become exceptionally difficult. Martians have a lower natural fertility rate and often need IVF to reproduce. Earth gravity is too strong for martians to safely return to the home planet, and so few Earthlings have ever seen one in person.

The dispute, unresolved, leads to the second interplanetary war. A billion people will die on both planets. Mars will lose precious irreplaceable atmosphere. Earth will lose access to much needed water. The conflict only ends when neither can keep up the fight any longer.

Holy shit.

I've never been alive in a time when every human has been on Earth. That's crazy to think about...

Being born after 2000 should be illegal

They're old enough to have finished a master's degree

finally someone said it, thank you

I had lived in exactly 2 days in my life time in which every human was on earth.

Well, technically speaking, we all are in space.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Are we technically a space fairing civilization?

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

We are all passengers on a generational space vessel.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

We need a better navigator, though. We keep going around in circles.

[–] stjobe@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

The Sun isn't stationary 😉

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Nobody said anything about writing on it.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

but it also goes around in circles, or maybe it's more of a spiral

[–] stjobe@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The Milky Way isn't stationary 😉

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

another circle maybe? does anyone really know?

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The Milky Way is in a sort of orbit around the center of the Local Group which is the name for the local group of galaxies. It's not a clean circular orbit and it's not possible to calculate the rotation time, because the pull from other galaxies is stronger than their collective centre of point of gravity, but sure, it rotates overall on that scale too.

The next levels are different. The Local Group is part of a larger supercluster of galaxies that do not seem to rotate. It's more like flows of galaxy clusters. Depending on the point and scale we look at, it may be shrinking or expanding. Perhaps there is some rotation to it, but the scale of both distance and time is so incredibly large that it's meaningless.

the Local Group, which is the name for the local group of galaxies

sounds like they spent a lot of time coming up with that name

jokes aside, thanks for the interesting info!

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 11 points 17 hours ago

Not true if you take into account all the kids jumping at any given moment.

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 17 points 19 hours ago (6 children)

By 2030, everyone will most likely be back on Earth again when the ISS gets decommissioned :(

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 1 points 5 hours ago

Let's hope that Musk has nothing to say in that when it is time

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago

China will still have an operational station. Probably.
