I do not focus on the Limits to Growth world model because I want to pick on its potent political implications (the first version did, after all, inspire a generation of antigrowth activists).
After experimental data processing, material's viscousness coefficient was acquired and a new method to determine fatigue limit by the threshold of plasticity energy dissipation was given.
But on a more serious note: The most important reason I want to go to Mars is that I believe, as a scientist, it's my duty to push the boundaries of human knowledge forward.
You're going to push and push and push, and then you're going to push some fucking more and when you hit the limit you're gonna push again beyond that you're gonna force yourself into an adaptation response, and why?
Now that humans had actually gone to space, Stanley Kubrick needed to redefine what futuristic life and space would look like, and he did so by pushing the limits of visual effects.
And even though I pushed the limits of how tiny a human hand can write whenever I got the opportunity to make a cheat card, there's only so much I could fit on it.
