galactic colonization

i don't know what that means to you.

If you mean that I do have access to waking theta states of consciousness and thus the collective unconscious, yes.

I'm willing to admit the possibility that its all just between me and my brodmann's brain areas, but in the end that still doesn't matter.

I know how FTL works.

In fact , I know ten different ways to make FTL work.

Which means that at best the rest of you can play catch up, and
I'm working through your process with you as fast as I can to get to the part which is most interesting to me personally.

Which brings us back to square one.

This entire forum and the conversations here are not lucid. They aren't paving the way to the stars, they are chit chats and back slaps
about it.

To change up, we need some real design process, and that means that whatever your mind can come up with for the IMMEDIATE REALISTIC FUTURE
is the only thing that really matters.

It also means that space habitats on the surface of mars or the moon are just a little bit ridiculous and that solar sats are also just a sideshow.

As I have said, however, that won't prevent me from designing such things with you if you can only pull it together to actually exist inside of design process instead of mere chit chat.

the first person with posted sketches up gets the engineering and the architecture and the autocad.

Failing that within a week or so, and I'll cut my losses and go look for a group that CAN get its act together.

Inversely, just as I extend to you the courtesy to design habitats on planetary or lunar surfaces, or solar sats, It seems fair for you to entertain me and others as we work well ahead of schedule on Warp Drive.

I hope that this clarifies my position.
