Reply to comment by strvgglecity in Phobos' orbit prevents a traditional geostationary space elevator on Mars, but it is possible instead to build a downward space elevator from Phobos itself by Icee777
Definitely. Probably take around 3 centuries or more to get there but for sure. It's only a matter of time till we begin to take nuclear power space side.
It'll probably take around 5 for mars to be a standalone and we begin to colonize the solar system.

Yeah autonomous vehicles won't lower overall emissions but it will increase the efficiency of car usage and space utilization.
Now if they move to electric AVs this will be a huge game changer.

Reply to TIFU by letting my parents pawn my silver by [deleted]
It sucks that you have shitty parents but consider this a lesson on relationships with individuals with poor money management.
I'm sure this won't be the first time or the last time your parents will try to take advantage of you and your things to make up for their poor ability to manage money.
I'd encourage you to call the credit bureaus (if in America) and put a freeze/block on opening new loans.
And remember that if someone is asking you to co-sign/pawn stuff/ open a joint account/ take financial responsibility for them, ask yourself what poor money decision has lead to them getting into this situation in the first place and are you willing to accept the consequences when things don't go as planned.
