I despise things like this.
I don't like it when manufacturers make things smaller and thinner.
Things like that are expensive. They break easily and when they are broken they become unserviceable.
I wear bulky clothes, I buy thick leather boots, I use keyboards designed in the 1990s and every single one of those lasts me for years.
MFW I prefer durability over things being tiny.

Besides, once space travel becomes commercialized you can guarantee shipping costs will drop significantly. Everything will be optimized to minimize cost and we'll be shipping objects around our solar system for next to nothing.
Keep in mind that mining equipment is extremely heavy. Unless someone comes up with some revolutionary new alloy that is as cheap as steel but lighter then we are going to have to make shipping more efficient.

In our lifetimes all we can do is to lower the weight of our crafts, because there sure as hell won't be any new methods of getting us out of the atmosphere with one hundred thousand + kilos of equipment. Trust me I'm an engineers...of boats...still counts

As you said before "If we want to get **** done we need to innovate"
Take Ion thrusters for example; NASA has already pissed on Newton's third law. If they can do that then how long will it take until someone builds an aircraft that can break earth's gravity without needing a lot of fuel?
What I'm saying is it's not going to be too long until someone comes up with a propulsion system that doesn't require an obscene amount of fuel. It might be a few decades but some douchebag somewhere is going to come up with a prototype sooner or later. Or more realistically someone is going to come up with a means to generate fusion power. Once that happens then power/fuel is no longer a problem.

ubercookieboy (09/07/2015) [-] That's like saying "This is as good as our technology is going to get".
Our technology has been getting better over the past 100 years; not only that but it's improving at an exponential rate.
And I believe you. I am an engineer too. I have fundamental knowledge in mechanics, medicine, logical systems and electronics. I am not a dumb guy.
Mark my words, one of the following is going to happen in our lifetimes:
1. Someone comes up with a propulsion system that doesn't require expensive fuel
2. We develop cheap nuclear fusion technology
3. We colonize the moon or set up on Mars
But going back to my original post, if I ever ended up in space I don't want to have to wait 2 months to get a new wafer-thin handheld device because I got drunk and dropped it by accident
