Its too cold and its made of gas. build a platform with some sort of balloon like structure to keep it afloat, harnessing the helium in the atmosphere There's got to be a way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a way to make it a reality or contribute to it so it will one day be (way past my lifetime of course) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
181pl Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Too effin cold? It's 2,700,000,000 miles from Earth or 3,600,000,000 miles from the Sun. It takes 20 years to even get there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes 20 years to even get there... Right, but the platform/craft/ship/floating city would be heated and the goal would be able to harness gases in the atmosphere to power it and provide oxygen to residents and passengers through helium burning. Now getting there is a different story. Voyager II (going 42,000 mph) got there in 1989 after leaving in Earth in 1977. If you could travel at the speed of light, it would take you a little over four hours to get to Neptune from Earth. Several complex problems would arise from the traveling aspect of it.

PS: perhaps you forgot to ask yourself why 🤔 kinda like a cost benefit thingy 👍 BTW: Technical accomplishments are one thing... ...but "COLONIZATION" is quite another. Hmm 🤔 a few reasons 1. We would have figured out and proven to ourselves that we can in fact colonize a gas giant, regardless if it’s worthwhile or not 2. Major leaps in technology, further advancing humanity. Being able to survive on a planet that is not equipped to support life (as we know it) would be significant. Also the technologies that would come about as a byproduct of solving problems involved with the afmormentioned (Neptune not being able to support life as we see it), the distance of travel and several other problems. 3. The potential to mine gases from the planets as well as valuable elements from nearby celestial bodies 4. It may help set up reoccurring transactions between the planet and its moons (it has 14 moons - Triton has been on the radar for further discovery and exploration) 5. When the Sun finally dies out, it will expand and engulf the first four planets of our Solar System. Having a settlement on Neptune would enable us to be well far away enough and survive as a race. I’m sure that when that time comes (probably billions of years from now) we will have answer for it. 6. Neptune is my favorite planet and looks super cool. And it would be cool to see, don’t try to deny that. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun will micronova a thousand times before it would supernova, and you have no Idea of your gravity/magnetic effect (with regards to orbit) to assume the inner planets would continue in a consistent track. 6. lol What about Venus? acid rain or somethin ? 🤣 PS: just sayin' LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next favorite is Saturn. I agree with the idea of colonizing the Moons of Neptune. All in all though, so what if not everyone agrees about the cost benefit. Would it be wrong if I had the drive, money, ability, etc to do this and did it? It would be extraordinary. And I’m sure there are many who would be fascinated with it. It all goes back to “you do you” or “do what you want”... if that makes any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
