It's a complete BS saying based solely on biased hind sight.

Because there are thousands of:

"First they ignore you, then you go out of business"
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then you go out of business"
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you go out of business"
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win., for a while."

Being around for a while doesn't mean what you peddle works.

The guy is right. Until they have a more affordable version, the with be a niche. Bugati is also a niche. Niche doesn't mean bad.

"All that math is hooey."
misapplied, not 'hooey'.

"Past events don't affect future events for random acts like throwing dice or flipping a coin"
but they with people.

You said math. Lets see it.

It would look a t little like this:

a black dot with energy around it.
Picture as an example of the point.

The fact that you can't grok that he brought Mars up in order to give an example of the types distance speaks volumes on why the rest of you post is deflection and nonsense.

You're post is correct, except for:
"There is no stealth in space."

Actually there can be. Mostly by using weapon that look like asteroids, or loiter.
If you engines aren't running and you are just maintaining velocity, then you an be stealthy.
Stealth just means people do't know who you are or that you are a threat. You don't have to be invisible.

Also, the post you are replying to is either a troll, or some who doesn't understand physics at even an 8th grade level.
Anyone who bring feminism into a discussion about physics should just be dismissed, and preferable banned from posting under that story.

you seem to have forgotten the mass side of that equation.

You can if your x-ray lasers are at 250 km!
Or if you can use aground based laser to destroy satellite; which you would have.

Also, it doesn't actually protect much, and has higher cost then ground launch systems.

Fermi (Hart) Paradox isn't.

Space is big.
There is no reason a specie will continuously expand.
The universe is to young to expand everywhere with even the most hypothetical technology.
And if you only expand as needed, and you are expanding in the sphere, then the more you expand the slower you need to expand... as an average.

A) there is less war now then ever.
B) If we have space battle cruisers, then we have opened up space, and resource are no longer an issue.

Resources on Earth= Finite.
Resources in space= Infinite.

"Missiles travel very, Very, VERY slow (in space)." Complety depends on th tech they are using for space flight. chemical engines? sure. FTL missles?

War wouldn't be about resources, it would be about religious zeal.

B5 had the worst space physics. Completely impractical, too slow, and it would smoosh a humans brains.

And the way to generate gravity? Completely wrong. A giant spinning ring does not create gravity.

I like the character and stories, so it was a win overall.

Lame.
I prefer an internal system using sounds as identifier in 3d space.

Of course it doesn't. paranoid means specifically that people are out to get you.
Paranoid Delusion mean you think they are, but they aren't.

Really? odd. Every Starbucks I've been to uses the name on the cup, unless they can't read it.
