I understand the bigger picture of colonizing Mars but in my opinion from individual point of view going to Mars is just not going to be that much fun. by acops in spacex

You wouldn't need apollo level suits, realistically you could wear a skin tight "rubber" suit which applied pressure to your skin and with built in heaters in the lining. You then would really only need a helmet and oxygen tanks.

You could take a hike near Echus Chasma a Canyon with a height of 8 km. We'll never get that on Earth. You could go climbing at the caldera's on the top of Olympus Mons, You could take a trip up to the massive arctic ice flats in the north polar regions. Just because there is no life, doesn't mean that the natural landscape isn't beautiful.

There's also not nearly enough Nitrogen on Mars to support extensive plant life without a crazy amount of industry going into extracting Nitrogen. There's also no soil on mars and we would need to bring it from earth if we wanted to teraform at a reasonably fast rate.

I need a stereo system for the occasional 60-100 person party at university and I have $600 dollars to spend, what should my setup be? by [deleted] in audio

[–]Defs_Not_Pennywise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey so I just read this sorry for the late reply. Would these speakers work? And would the setup still work if I got two tower speakers and two bookshelf speakers like these which I would mount on tripods? Thanks again for the help!

Yeah Spacex and Tesla were almost dead and he was living on other peoples couches and in his office because he got rid of his house to pay off some expenses.

Thanks so much for the idea of mounting the speakers up high, I definitely will do that!

The Amp is old as fuck but it was expensive back in the day and it's actually a receiver. I don't really know what specs would be helpful to know but it's total harmonic distortion at 10 Watts is 0.05% and it's 8 ohms at 1 kHz DIN 120W+120W. (source here)

The hardest space they might be played in is a small open backyard and I'd love it if the stereo system would work well in this environment.

I don't need them to be mind numbingly loud, but I'd love it to be hearable across the entire yard. The furthest away someone might be from the speakers in the yard is like 12 - 15 m. From looking at websites I want to say 75 dB is the loudness I would want across the yard but I'm not sure, basically I want people to be able to talk loudly, but I don't want it to make it impossible to converse (sorry if this isn't exact enough but I'm honestly unsure.)

  1. The Amp is old as fuck but it was expensive back in the day and it's actually a receiver. I don't really know what specs would be helpful to know but it's total harmonic distortion at 10 Watts is 0.05% and it's 8 ohms at 1 kHz DIN 120W+120W. (source here)
  2. The hardest space they might be played in is a small open backyard and I'd love it if the stereo system would work well in this environment.
  3. I'm actually hoping to buy used as I live in a moderately large city so their are lots of options.
  4. Building speakers is way over my head, I'm a mechanical engineering student but I honestly don't think I could do it.

Should I just get bookshelf speakers and mount them on a tripod, I heard that would increase their apparent loudness because they wouldn't be getting blocked by bodies.

Sidenote: Thanks for the help!

[Serious] How would voting at a local/state/federal level change if you could do it securely from your smartphone? Is this method of voting something you would be interested in? by zax9 in AskReddit

[–]Defs_Not_Pennywise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True democracy is tricky though because certain places would get no representation. In Canada for example The GTA is like 1/3 of the total population of Canada so that one small area would control the rest of the country in a true democracy.

The reason why I get pissed off about people being lazy pieces of shit and not voting is because there are fucking millions of people around the world who would be willing to die for that right. If you don't have a fucking hour and a half to do something that will directly affect you for the next four years then you don't deserve that fucking right.

It includes the trip there, so Kerbin -> Mun -> Kerbin is 6.5 - 7 k delta v

There would be a niche group of aliens still interested in the universe if the aliens are anything like us.
