Description

Colonize: Space colonization (also called space settlement, or extraterrestrial colonization) is permanent human habitation and exploitation of natural resources off the planet Earth

I wanted to vote, but this is pretty hard to follow.

@Intelligence_06

Thanks for voting, Intel!

I’ll get to this.

I think, extending to 2100 and having at least 3k characters would help greatly lol. It's almost impossible to prove 2040 in 500 characters

@oromagi

also there was no way for me to win anyways, I was just teasing at your sources

-->
@whiteflame

vote plz?

I try to maintain a certain sense of humor in tone, although I don't think it's much good since its more often misinterpretted

-->
@oromagi

Talking like that makes you funnier than most comedians on the television.

@seldiora

You should read the source material more carefully. Please refrain from further arguments in the COMMENTS.

@oromagi

I am not sure why you are using double-edged sources that explain the problem within paragraphs of introducing them lol. You taking advantage of the 500 char limit?

also here's the source I forgot for cell phones, PC, Fridge if you need it: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/infographics/infographic.view.php?id=11358

wrong source for 6th mass extinction, this is the correct one: https://www.pnas.org/content/117/24/13596

we can redo this at 10k characters after it's over if you want. 500 char is hella tough

@oromagi

*sweats* I wasted too much characters saying "If even start can be accomplished, rest of the world's effort can work together to resolve this problem." lol

note to self to use this article in future. https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.22.749&rep=rep1&type=pdf

@oromagi

I think you will find that 500 characters is infinitely harder than 3,500 lol

@seldiora

I tend to like a lot of abbreviations, so if you have any limitations on abbr's let me know.

I studied the art of micro-debate under the tutelage of Trent0405.

@oromagi

it's okay. I haven't seen you do much with 500 char except offer a syllogism. It's hard to say who will win if you're stripped of the ability to cite my words or waste characters defining ideas/burden of proof

@seldiora

I love a Mars debate. Nevertheless, if you'd prefer I can withdraw from this debate if you'd rather somebody else took it.

OH NO ITS OROMAGI
