Why do we need a new calculus book every 3 years? Calculus isn’t fucking changing!
There should be one public domain calculus book used by every college and if teachers want new homework problems there should be FOSS software to randomize the numbers and email out fresh problems.
We should explore space with semiautonomous robots. We can do space exploration at maybe a quarter of the cost of sending humans to do it.
Flood Mars with exploratory rovers for years. Then mining robots. Then manufacturing robots. Have them build facilities that build more robots to expand the process exponentially .
Then, if we decide it’s even worth it at that point, have them build a city and send people.
TIL that song is by Queen. I had no idea. So definitely an appropriate song for this discussion!
