"You can think of it as... going from a pencil to a coke can."

While I really like the potential of this technology, I regrettably have to call bullsh*t on this comment. That analogy implies the diameter can double or even triple. In all of the prototypes launched so far, the payloads never expanded to more than 160% of their compact size.

@Jtownlegends lol

@Jtownlegends I think the key is to realize that you are not your body nether your personality its only a role your infinite soul plays

@Jtownlegends Its good to see you have done your research too:)

I exacly know what you are talking about.

Its not hard to understand how the society had been brainwashed by the media and by each other. They have they false idols which seems to be within reach, but even If you get everything you wanted to I dont think you will be happy because your ego will after the next achievement which makes you feel special for 3 days.

@Jtownlegends ok i have gathered lots of informations since i commented.

we already have technologies far beyond mainstream science.

You are right with that first we have to make things work here down here.

But its not really a question of money, i mean the current economic system is quite fake. If you want to learn more search for Project Camelot they have some very eye opening interviews I've been listening to them for a month now. I really recommend it.
