Requirements for leaving this planet. (By Rez, December 31st, 2015 11:43PM)
We will never leave this planet if we:
#1 Don't manage to produce proper quantum-computers (Next generation computers) (Compsci)
#2 Don't invent a proper Artificial Intelligence. (Compsci)
#3 Don't manage to produce proper solar-sails and plasma rockets (Physics)
#4 Don't invent proper energy cells. (Physics)
#5 Keep creating societies that are dependant on fossil fuels (How f*ing stupid isn't that?)
#6 Haven't mapped the human brain completely in the BlueBrain Project (Compsci)
#7 Never invent a proper final programming language based on natural language. (Compsci)
#8 Keep having nonsensical wars, nuclear bombings, new terrorist groups. (Social Science)
#9 Don't solve/saturate/settle all the Millennium Problems. (Mathematics)
#10 Don't have a proper international stem-cell research programme (Medicine)
#11 Can't manage to produce every single organ artificially and make people independent of organ donations (Medicine)
#12 Haven't learned to understand cancer better (Medicine)
#13 Haven't invented a proper science for exo-skeletons, biofeedback and robotics for amputees (Engineering)
#14 Don't have a proper quarantine system for modern epidemics (Medicine)
#15 Haven't made 3D printing cheap, durable, proper, common place, hard, recyclable (Engineering)
#16 Don't have a proper global environmental cleaning/regulatory system for emissions (Ecology)
#17 CONTROVERSIAL Don't insist on everyone getting their genes benchmarked for a proper and *HUMANE* eugenics program (Biology)
#18 Don't all learn to speak the same consistent language, no matter which (Linguistics)
#19 Don't invest more money into our scientific particle-accelerator programs (Physics)
#20 Never learn how to accumulate anti-matter from the solar system cheaply (Engineering)
#21 Don't get a sound, complete and proper understanding of Turbulence (Physics)
#22 Haven't found closer and better exo-planets than Gliese (Astronomy)
#23 Can't properly colonize shitty planets like Mars. (Engineering)
#24 CONTROVERSIAL Don't have a one-world government (Social science)
#25 Don't have one central world university (Social Science)
#26 Don't have better global infrastructure (Engineering)
#27 Keep exploiting the super-poor with inane slave jobs for cheap fast shortsighted nonsense labor (Social science)
#28 Don't make sure that everybody who can and wants, should get a Phd. (Social science)
#29 Keep having Science textbooks and information being extremely expensive (Economy)
#30 "Don't create a ""10 billion dollars personal global networth limit"", with the 2015 $-value (Politics)"
#31 "Don't create a ""500 billion dollar company networth limit"" (To counter economic black holes) (Politics)"
#32 Don't let internet be free for everyone with atleast 100gbit transferspeeds at all coordinates in the world (Engineering)
#33 Don't invent better cures against addictions, drugseeking behavior and withdrawal symptoms (Psychology)
#34 Don't invent room temperature super-conductive materials (Physics)
#35 Can't invent hand held atom-level f MRI scanners for imagining peoples thoughts (Physics)
#36 Don't stop using environmentally unfriendly and poisonous papers/inks/plastics, instead of recyclable e-paper (Engineering)
#37 Don't start using electric cars,boats and planes (Engineering)
#38 Don't find a way of mass-producing cheap solar-panels with a higher Utilization Factor (Physics)
#39 Don't find a way of exploiting thermal/acoustic low-frequency energy better (Physics)
#40 Don't make our GMO's more efficient, healthy and environmentally friendly (Biology)
#41 Don't master the nano bot technology for exploration of micro and macro worlds (Physics)
#42 Never find a way for transferring simple information from the computer -TO- the brain with implants (Compsci)
#43 Can't make our artificial meat/biomass more efficiently and cheaply made, instead of breeding animals/vegetables (BioChemistry)
#44 "Never find a way to create efficient altitude traffic e.g ""flying cars"" (Engineering)"
#45 Keep having unsatisfying and questionable criminal/medical rehabilitation statistics (Law)
#46 Aren't careful about world control so that the world doesn't turn into a dystopia, an Orwellian nightmare, which might imperil emotional motivation for scientific contribution (Social science)
#47 Don't make nations more autonomous, smaller, independent and at the same time maximally dependant of one another for maximum co-operation (Database-style global political normalization) (Politics)
#48 Keep wasting the peoples time with extreme, visual, unproductive, exploitative, non-educating, obsessive and vacuously infantile entertainment (Entertainment)
#49 Don't have proper, normal, coherent, efficient, fair justice and court sentences for everyone, no matter celebrity status or income levels (Law)
#50 Have no understanding of the importance of leaving this dying overpopulated depleted planet (Done)
If all of the objectives above are reached ,then travel to exo-planets will be successful.
