The Bay 12 Space Program
Thats right, I'm bringing it back, baby!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information (Read this first!)
This is a revamp of an old topic from a long while ago that I started by accident (found here; http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=113434.msg3457271#msg3457271). It went on pretty well for quite a long while (We even had DZA in on it!), but eventually died after about 190-ish pages once I went inactive on the forums.
But now, I'm back, and I'm not about to give up my dream of colonizing space because some thread went inactive somewhere. So, I'm
revamping this idea in hope than, one day, we will* reach the stars!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction
Welcome to the Bay12 Space Program! Here, our highly trained** group of scientists, engineers, strategists, biologists, psychologists, and horologists, dream that we, Bay12, will* rule the stars with a steel ≪+fist+≫ (Menacing with spikes of pig bone). This dream may seem far off, but with hard work and great amounts of dedication, I believe that the Earth will* be ours! Er... I should censor that....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
For now, this is were you just talk about random things that have to do with colonizing space, to come up with new ideas, and to just discuss the program in general. The reason this thread exists, is to seed new ideas that can contribute the the program in the future.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[WaffleEggnog]

Reserved for yolo sake

[mastahcheese]

PTW, this was great reading through the last one and being completely lost the entire time.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I call Chief Biological Officer.

[King DZA]

Reporting in to claim my rightful spot as president and lead the resurgence of this glorious program down the path to unequivocal success.

[ICBM pilot]

I'll be an engineer.

[misko27]

Ahh, memories. I sorely miss the insistent arguing over Mars v. Moon. And those picture by slowpokez were awesome. The "Gascambers" in the poll options still kills me though. Looking back, I want to edit my posts for grammar and spelling.

Minister Misko reporting for general administration.

[GreatWyrmGold]

The Moon. It's closer, and anything you can go on Mars you can do on the Moon.

[The Froggy Ninja]

Well, since we are Bay12 and as such have no sense of taking it too far, WE SHALL MAKE AN ALCUBIERRE DRIVE WITH AS MUCH SPEED AS POSSIBLE! (Including but no limited to: lack of safety testing and running all particle accelerators at overdrive to generate large amounts of exotic matter.) (Calling head of theoretical physics)

[GreatWyrmGold]

What good would the exotic "matter" do?

[The Froggy Ninja]

Well ether that or negative energy is needed to "fuel" an Alcubierre Drive.

[Culise]

Well, since we are Bay12 and as such have no sense of taking it too far, WE SHALL MAKE AN ALCUBIERRE DRIVE WITH AS MUCH SPEED AS POSSIBLE! (Including but no limited to: lack of safety testing and running all particle accelerators at overdrive to generate large amounts of exotic matter.) (Calling head of theoretical physics)

I can see the press releases now.  "On the bright side, we arrived at our destination.  On the down side, there was no longer a destination to arrive at.  On the bright side, we're pretty sure they were going to invade us anyways for launching an Alcubierre-drive-propelled vehicle at them, so it all worked out in the end." ^_^

[OREOSOME]

PTW

[WaffleEggnog]

I'm so glad you guys are so supportive of the idea!
I just threw up the crew roster with everyone on it. Positions are open and we still have no organizations formed yet. No better time than this to hop on the ball while it starts rolling!
In fact, while I'm here, I'm going to found our military organization. I'll call it, the Great Axelords. It must always be said in red text or you will be executed.

[kaian-a-coel]

I call Chief Exobiologist and head of the Interstellar Exploration Bureau (which I just founded)

This organization has interest including but not limited to:
-Detection and analysis of exoplanets
-Research of alien life (intelligent or not)
-Reflexion on interstellar travel and its consequences.
-Later on: admiralty for interstellar exploration spaceships
-How to build and maintain a galactic empire.

Basically scientific exploration on a scale larger than the solar system. Though it also includes the search for alien life within our own solar system.
