[Q&A+] Can We Turn The Entire Moon Into a Giant Datacenter?
BONUS QUESTION STARTS AT 21:21

Couldn’t we use the entire moon as a data center? Does the vastness of space ever scare me? Do solar systems have Lagrange points? And in Q&A+, will we ever get to a Jetsons reality?

00:23 [@rwarren58] Couldn’t we use the entire moon as a data center?
03:58 [@jonathanchamberlain6260] Is the vastness of space and the unknown nature ever unnerving for you. I love space content but sometimes it gives me major anxiety.
11:16 [@ashstar42] How do you stay motivated when the world seems to be turning its back on progress?
20:04 [@DamingoFlave] Do Solar Systems have Lagrange points?
21:21 [@Stanton415] How quickly do you believe the robots will be able to give us Jetsons reality?

Fraser you mentioned that your travelling to Europe soon, will you be coming over to England UK 🇬🇧 ? 😊
That would be awesome!
I suspect 'those people' are still the minority.. I suspect most we see are just bots/funded; which unfortunately influences people. Notice how they all come at the same time in swarms to lie/insult/disinform/comment. I also suspect they follow (and use) trigger words. Prompted by tags or captions. It's disgusting. At least they can't hide it anymore.
Religiously motivated = financially motivated = control motivated
I don’t necessarily think it matters what motivates people, if you feel motivated to do something it’s a huge advantage.
I really hope not.
Before retiring, I worked for an American multi national chemical manufacturing company and their motto was 'we solve problems you don't know you had' and it's true because without their experts constantly working on improving and moving forward we wouldn't have among many things: silicon technology, manufacturing, construction and automotive sector improvements
Perovskite could not be made on the moon, as the precursor material is methylammonium lead iodide (or other halides) which couldn't be made from regolith chemicals. Prove me wrong in 20 years 🤔
Oh shit. Now I’m afraid of the ocean 😳
I think most of us understand and sympathise that you have to occasionally declare your world view via Q&A, but your frustration at the ignorance of the crazies should not be wholly put down to them as individuals, it is down to Journalism - the very profession you represent. Real science is not directly accessible to the ordinary individual due to its arcane language, so most of us rely on journalistic interpretation of it. And it is probably true that the wildest and silliest journalistic interpretations of scientific matters is in the realm of public health. I put it to you that your faith in the veracity of those and other non-space sciences may be founded in turn on the output of other journalists who may not be as trustworthy as you are. But rest assured that your audience believes in you while to you stick to Space matters.
Real science IS directly accessible to the ordinary individual. I can’t speak much about the US, but in the UK education and health care are free at the point of delivery and are available to everyone. It’s never been easier to learn and access information. It’s frustrating to encounter people who use the fact they began life at a disadvantage as an excuse to wallow in apathy. I feel like saying sure, I do sympathise. But what have you tried to do about changing that? In so many cases the answer is nothing. Even as an adult, free education and health care can change your life.
because the science says it. bouy data shows H2O vapor matters way more than Co2. covid vax(genomic alteration***) didn't prevent infection, it increased cancer by 50+%.... there are hundreds of papers on this now. there is a legal case now, accusing fraud in the NIH grant proposal system.... there is plenty of actual data that says.... science keeps sciencing, it doesn't just stick to 1 scientists biased perspective to get more funding.
You're mixing a few things together here. mRNA vaccines don't alter your genome, that's a basic misunderstanding of how the technology works, it instructs cells to make a protein temporarily, nothing touches your DNA. On cancer, the National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society have both said there's no evidence linking COVID vaccines to increased cancer risk. The "hundreds of papers" claim mostly traces back to animal studies on unrelated mRNA cancer vaccine research being misapplied, and there's even a Nature study showing the opposite, that mRNA vaccines may help cancer patients' immune systems recognize tumors better. If there's an actual NIH grant fraud case, that's worth looking at, but it's a separate issue and doesn't establish the vaccine-cancer claim.
Sean Carroll did a deep dive on a pod cast on Dark Energy and talked about the Big Rip (even saying that it can’t be ruled out completely but certainly believed to be extremely unlikely) https://open.spotify.com/episode/55BhfmEtvGZJyRw6eCFHK4?si=mifuIMUsRxy8-zq94Xh7Vg&utm_source=copy-link
The Lagrange point discussion got me wondering whether mercury is so small and/or close to the Sun that its Lagrange points are actually on or inside the surface of one or the other. The answer is no, according to vcalc.com L1 and L2 are about 223,000km "above" Mercury. Estimating Mercury is 0.057 Earth masses, that is; it's remarkably hard to look that up, even NASA's website only reports its dimensions.
