    PS,

    We never needed rockets.

    Follow the tech arc from Michael Faraday through to Nikola Tesla, passing by at least the Sonora Aero Club (and Charles Dellschau’s 1850 drawings) and the german bell and foo-fighters, and you shall see… we never needed rockets. What wonders developed since. Zero inertia propulsion, zero-point energy, can print another of itself instantly, safe enough for a 2 year old to fly home safely in, able to sustain human life indefinitely… but sure, lets keep pretending like space is hard to do, and that rockets are the best we can do it by. XD

      That does sound fascinating. I’m only vaguely aware of some of those concepts. Internet search results have been somewhat conflicting. Do you mind sharing links to your preferred site for explanations of these things?
