Jokes on us: Because of the gravity issue, alien life on such planets jumps right to stargate technology.

"They spent almost a thousand years fooling around with rockets!"

Uhh, one stargate doesn’t go anywhere.

You can accelerate it into space at g forces which would liquify living beings, perhaps?

Using what?

(Remember the premise of this subthread is that they're doing this instead of rockets.)

Bah, Stargates are just propaganda from the rocket first civs.

There is no need to send a gate in advance, just use your favorite teleportation mechanic.

I’d say they stand a whelks chance in a supernova of that succeeding.

[-] jdr@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Actually I'm a marine astrobiologist and that chance is really really high
