How many humans can the solar system support?
- jleyank 5y agoWithout tremendous advances in energy production, propulsion, terraforming, water and food generation… about what we have now. The percentage of offworlders vs. The billions on earth are rounding errors. And, if we increase our lifespan it will probably drop the population due to the slower pace of existence. If we don’t blow ourselves to bits or poison the world too quickly it will happen. 10k years took us from “gee, this civilization thing has promise” to debating living on mars. One generation took us from “can we fly?” To “isn’t he on the moon?”. Just apply your talents to a little more than ads and data harvesting, ok?
