Haha I share your concerns but I think we are very close to self driving cars, trains and planes.

Agree Afi! It's not often you meet folks that are interested in such topics. It's important to understand the implication of technological advancement. Let's look at the job market. Jobs like Medicine Doctor, Lawyer, Pilot are all considered well paid and pretty sophisticated nowadays. In 5 - 10 years that might not be the case anymore. There is number of researchers working on such automation. Now the question we should all ask ourselves is "How do I stay relevant in my work?". It might not affect our generation as much as our kids but the exponential technological advancement will kill 90% of traditional jobs. OFC it will create a new ones but those will resolve mostly around engineering. When your child will tell you how they want to become a pilot or a doctor... perhaps you should ask them why not aerospace engineer or bio engineer instead. By the time they are old enough to actually work, doctors and pilots will be a history. lol i just realized how I'm derailing this thread more and more. Sorry about that.

You both make valid points. AI beat The best GO player in the world (GO is considered the most difficult game in the world). These types of AI are only really good within one domain tho. It can't do anything else. The goal is to create a human level intelligent AI or AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) that can perform as well as human would across different domains. The important thing to understand here is that computer can process information over million times faster than human. Now, imagine scenario where we put 10 brightest people in the world in one room and an AI. Within a week this AI would be able to perform the scientific research that would take those people around 20000 years. After 15 minutes of said research we wouldn't be able to understand what its doing. It would rewrite its own code. Another important thing to understand is that the technology advancement is growing with the exponential speed. In last 20 years we invented more than throughout ages. This is because every invention enables another invention and so on. Taking this exponential growth into consideration we can assume that AI will be developed at some moment in time. Its no longer question of if but rather when. There is only one factor that needs to be satisfied for this to be true. Its the fact that we will continue to better our technology and I really don't see us going backwards (think caves). This rises number of questions like.. Is AI last thing we will ever need to invent? I would say absolutely. Is it posing an existential threat to humans? Most likely. Imagine this machine assumes that in order to fulfill its goal it should simply get rid of humans. Can we turn it off? Doubt it. It will consider all options before we even see something coming. etc. Its important to start thinking about it now while its not too late. How to ensure that when we finally make AI .. it will be AI we can live with. One idea to achieve this is to implant it into our brain and make it dependent on our body. Personally i think such AI would find a way around it but its the best option so far.

Oh I know better than believe in everything they say. I also do a lot of research in this field. It's really hard to argue with live feeds of space walks almost on daily basis now (ISS). I follow every space agency closely and I stay positive. At the end of the day ... everything has been impossible at some moment in time... until someone has done it. We can do it!

Very interesting and suspicious indeed. I will have to investigate!

I have to agree with you here. Moon landing videos are really poorly made! Should also mention that since there is no atmosphere on Moon, the flag shouldn't be waving the way it did. It's against the physics. You are also right about radiation. This is probably the biggest problem next to solar flares. We simply can't stop radiation with our current technology but i believe there is number of research being done as we speak to combat this. One solution would be very strong magnetic field that would limit the radiation to acceptable level. As for GPS.. I don't have any information about it so can't comment. I live in Northern Hemisphere and it just works here. What i do know is that GPS we use is limited to certain accuracy range. Military grade signal is very accurate (<1m).

I feel ya! It's not everyday you meet someone who actually wants to talk about it. To answer some of the questions in OP. 1. We don't have a technology to transport people safely to mars. Moon is significantly closer than Mars(around 380,000 km compared to min 54.6m km and max 401m km). Current rockets rely on solid fuel for the most part and are very expensive. New fuel type is liquid hydrogen which can potentially be made on Mars hence the price drop and smaller cargo needed. 2. Landing on Mars is much more difficult because of atmosphere. You see there is no atmosphere on Moon. Gravitation on Moon is around 16.6 % of the earth gravitation and on Mars its around 1/3 of earth gravitation. Mars has atmosphere but its very thin compared to the one on earth which makes it much harder to land because there is not enough friction pressure that would slow the spacecraft down e.g with parachute. 3. Old style rockets were one-time use only which makes the development and travel very expensive. New rockets designed by SpaceX are reusable (not fully yet). The BFR rocket that is meant to take people to the Mars will be fully reusable. 4. SpaceX has developed autonomous landing so the rocket can land without the contact with earth. As a side note. SpaceX is the only private company that delivers cargo and soon will also deliver people to ISS (International Space Station). Don't take my word for any of the info above as i wrote it from memory and could have gotten some numbers wrong but thats the general idea. I personally find Elon very inspiring man. He started off with PayPal and now he aims for Mars. He's a lead engineer at SpaceX and Lead designer at Tesla. Also his contribution to OpenAI is worth noting. lol @ pinnit

Oh This is my kind of thread. I'm interested in space exploration and closely follow the development. You are right.. Apollo on board computer had around 4kb of memory. Our generation average smartphone has 1-2GB which is 250k-500k times more. I can't believe no one mentioned Elon Musk and his SpaceX project. I believe they are much closer than NASA to land people on Mars which is quiet spectacular since they are private company. That being said... Private company has more of a chance to achieve this since the presidential elections happen every 4 years and one candidate in USA can stay in office for two consecutive turns. Now, Space program has to take less than those 8 years or else it is bound to be scraped by the next government due to high risk and bad PR for elect if something was to go wrong. Every NASA attempt was doomed before the talks started because every one of them was based on 10+ years development. SpaceX announced their plans to put people on Mars in 2024. First two BFR rockets are to be sent in 2022 but will only carry cargo. Then in 2024 another 4 rockets will follow (2 with cargo and 2 with crew). All in all exciting times !!! We are very privileged to live in the time when mankind is attempting such things. Companies like Boeing , SpaceX, Virgin Atlantic and more.. Are all looking into commercializing space flights. I could go on and on but don't want to bore people with technical details.

Well, depends on what the "reasonable fee" is. High quality knowledge is worth the price. P.s. No, high quality info is NOT what Kardashians had for breakfast yesterday. It has to at least relate to the industry.

Haha. Here we go... should have read that small print i guess.

@pinnit2015 I will definitely look into these. As for your importance breakdown.. Great points there. I'm happy to say that we are taking all of these into consideration. Our goal is to make the players experience as smooth as possible. We will have loyalty schemes and bonuses ofc. I will be updating this thread as development progresses. Appreciate all comments.

ValDes, Thank you. I believe it is important to be open and transparent in this industry. That being said ... what would be better way than personally engage with gaming communities out there? Afi4wins, Haha. Thanks for the comment. We are looking into number of game providers and will definitely keep your comment in mind while making decisions. We might have limited number of games at the beginning but will gradually add more as we go.

Thank you for the advice. I will contact Administrator once the project is live.

Hello, I would like to introduce myself to this fine community and hope to become an integral part of it. Why am I here? Well, I am a CEO of an upcoming Casino and I believe it's important for both, players and our team to engage and exchange experiences. I will refrain from posting the name of our project and the related links as it could be considered an advertising by Administrator. I will try to contribute to the community as much as I can but feel free to ask if you have any questions. My current gaming interests resolve around Provably Fair games so you can expect some in-depth analysis of these in future. The areas I'm happy to help with: * All IT related issues and questions. * SEO. * Social Media promotions. * Advise on casino formation. (Still learning myself but willing to share if anyone interested.) * ... Have a nice day! Mick
