Spaceship noises? What exactly does a spaceship sound like if you can't hear anything in space? Perhaps this is part of the joke!

::Spaceships sound like the computer-generated chirps, whistles, and whooshes used in sci-fi media to make travel through space familiar to those of us who travel through air. I hear little 'pew pew pew' noises come from my computer whenever I burn a cd!

:::they add them artificcially like on electric cars, so that you do not get run over by a spaceship when crossing the milkyway. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 14:12, 15 March 2019 (UTC) | :::they add them artificcially like on electric cars, so that you do not get run over by a spaceship when crossing the milkyway. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 14:12, 15 March 2019 (UTC) | ||

: It could be meaningful to list some reasons for exploring or not exploring space in the article ... There's a TV show about colonizing Mars that makes the point that once we inhabit two planets, we guarantee a future for our race if the planet doesn't survive.

:: Indeed, the main reasons for exploring space are (so very human) curiosity and need of achievement. Like exploring the lands and seas of Earth in the previous centuries (even if greed was a big factor as well). The former is more rational and largely more fruitful than the latter, in the sense that pursuing curiosity we (the humanity) learn new things while exploring space and advance general science and technology, which eventually (in some cases) leads to improvements of daily life. The need of achievement (hurray! we're first to do it!) is what mostly drives manned exploration, which also provides some scientific results but comes at a vastly greater cost. Given current and near-future advances in robotics, mechatronics, etc. the scientific value/cost quotient of manned exploration is very low compared to robotic missions in my opinion. I'd vote for building a thousand of Mars probes that will take some measurements in a thousand of points on the planet's surface over doing a manned mission that'll visit one spot - for a comparable price. But humans are not entirely rational beings and sometimes do crazy things just for the sake of them. Colonization on the other hand is a completely outworldlish idea. The colony would not survive without constant resupply from Earth - not in any forseeable future state of technology. Maybe in thousands of years, maybe never (i.e. we'd go extinct before we could achieve it). -- [[User:Malgond|Malgond]] ([[User talk:Malgond|talk]]) 14:47, 15 March 2019 (UTC) | :: Indeed, the main reasons for exploring space are (so very human) curiosity and need of achievement.
