Venus is actually the most hospitable candidate for extra-planetary colonization. Its upper atmosphere is remarkably similar to Earth's and a Cloud City-style facility is feasible. Itd be expensive and needs some good planning but a lot more possible than "terraforming the Moon".

At this point I'm convinced Star Wars informs most of Bob's scientific knowledge so he probably thinks Middle America is preventing us from having Hyperdrives as well.

I can't say I'm with you on that one. The pressure and heat on the surface makes it completely inhospitable, and I don't see how a floating city in the upper atmosphere is viable. Orbit only works because there's negligible drag in space.

Mars is the most viable place to terraform, and even that would be a massive effort.

Because there CO2 concentration is so high, building a large-scale balloon structure in the upper atmosphere is pretty feasible and will lift the structure to just the right point where atmospheric conditions are almost the same as on Earth. Venus has the added benefit of near-Earth gravity so you won't develop severe bone and muscle issues like you will on Mars.

The technology is still a ways off but it is feasible. Colonizing planets is difficult one way or another but Venus ultimately lacks the atmosphere problem Mars has. And both bodies are infinitely more hospitable than the fucking Moon.

 

[Darndirty]

does he expected that terraforming is cheap? Shit, we can't even terraforma now. Terraforming is a long and expensive process that will not happen for a time.

We have trouble terraforming deserts into farmable land on earth. We are so far from terraforming the moon, much less another planet it's a joke.

And fatass here thinks that under Hillary, it would've been feasible in 4-8 years. The last page of this thread was all about debating which planet is the most realistic for terraforming using actual science and reasoning, and Bob's still limited to the moon with a reasoning of "Hillary and moon wheat".

Well come on. Surely you can see how a lifetime of graft, political corruption, shady real estate deals, character assassination, and misuse of government resources would make someone eminently qualified to usher in a golden age science fiction utopia.

 

[SuperSheep]

Well, if I'm going to give Bob anything regarding this insane "Wheat farms on the moon" thing, China's aiming to grow potatoes on the moon.

Forgot this:

You can add random, grammatically incorrect hyphens on the list of similarities between Bob and Chris.

 

[RockVolnutt]

I hope Bob keeps going forward with his moon wheat science fiction. It could be his personal version of the representation argument which went from "Kids get interested in seeing someone who comes from their background" to "People can't empathized with others who don't share skin or genitals with them" to "Grown adults commit terrorist attacks because Bond isn't an African Muslim". We gotta see at what point this hits critical mass from all the bull he shoves into it.

I see Bob and his band of idiot fans still don't know how the Electoral College works:

Right now, I'm picturing Bob screaming "I'm a critic! And I deserve the respect accorded to that title!" :

Bob calling someone else a conspiracy theorist. :

I don't know why, but I think I'll kick Bob's butt today:

EDIT: Just stop talking, Bob:

 

[DoctorGonzo]

One of the saddest things about this fascist pig is that he actually think that he matters. I guess in the superior future only the elites could live beign worthless and beging for money on the internet

What's gonna bake yer noodle later is: the moment I press "Tweet" on this, YOU become a Bob Chipman-Related Good

What? Isn't that a strained take on the definition of "good" if we're including conversations as a "product"? It's not technically wrong but he's replying to a sentence about purchasing goods.

You can add "Goods and Services" on the list of things Bob can't wrap his fat head around, like vidya, criticism from others who disagree with him and how the world works.

I gotta be a history fag for a second here. The electoral college was, in part, created to stop massive population centers from controlling elections for the entirety of the country. Today these are liberal bastions like LA and NYC, but at the time the most populated state was Virginia, the undisputed king of slave states. I can't even fathom how you could say the electoral college was created to appease slave owners although I doubt Bob or this Strowbridge idiot put much thought into it either.

 

[Lensherr]

Anyone want to try taking the test from the PoV of Bob and seeing what you get? It won't be accurate but it'll still be entertaining.

This is just my best guess and probably inaccurate, but I thought he'd be more authoritarian.

I was hoping we weren't going to have yet another lolcow with NUMBERS OF PAIRS OF DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS, but I really wouldn't be that surprised at this point given how poor his health is.
