Depends on how many centuries it takes us to go from our current primitive understanding of biology in the age of discovery, to biology as a completed engineering corpus. Once we have complete control over life at every level, we will spread across the galaxy within 2 galactic orbits, or around 44 million years. So from that perspective, we are on the starship already, it is only a matter of when and where we disembark.

Personally, I bet we will be able to recreate nearly all extinct life as we unravel the ways everything evolved. The mind boggling part is just how complex that task will be. Biology as something like a high level Python script, will make the present digital scope of knowledge look like protohuman education standards. Eventually you’re growing a brain with a deterministic neuron structure for digital computations and calling it your computer. That will eventually lead to all of us moving into space except for a few indigenous hold outs. Gravity prisons suck, and the resource scarcity due to gravitational differentiation does not exist in more wealthy regions of the stellar system.

The real key to getting to that future is to think and talk about it. Biology as a fully understood and mastered technology is obviously the next major age. That is the final human technology; when we finally exit the stone age of silicon.

Use a hammer and punch to break off the pin.

If you’re talking about the piefed tags, we need an auto tagger of some sort. I do not use tags for anything outside of AI fine tuning and training. I do not know the scope of use, and creating a bunch of single occurrence tags is beyond useless like what archive dot org has devolved into. We must have a system like gelbooru/danbooru for tags selection and moderation if that is to be sustainable or useful over time… or I simply do not understand the use scope.

Don’t quote me, but if I remember correctly, that is the larger size where the center is more solid like an elliptical half oval that extends nearly to the tip and the fins of the cross are attached. I think it also has the four Pozi minor points at 45 degrees from the cross. It has more of a spline like structure rather than the four pointed cone of a typical Phillips. That tip won’t fit any other Phillips cross. I have only used them a few times, but have had many driver sets that include them. These type are usually tossed in my misc tools drawers because accidentally grabbing them is annoying…

The common hack makes it easier to remember: the common star, or brand name Torx, is the same as a hexagon. If you have a full set of both SAE and Metric star drivers, there is a star that will fit tightly into nearly all hexagon cap screws. If you strip a hexagon screw cap, using a star driver will often work to remove it. This only works because it is the same number of points.

There are many other types, but the common star is the 6 point.

You haven’t lived until you’ve put your driver in all the holy slots

Try designing stuff to share with people in CAD. You’ll quickly learn to collect such references.

Because those other bodies are worlds. In centuries to come, every one of these will be important and uniquely valued.

What kind of argument is “reality too hard to science.” – Dogmatic clown level arguments. Anyone stating this should be purged from academia. This is the culture of the crisis academics talk about. This is the collapse. Fundamental contextual logic has failed. Planet is a verb, by the IAU definition, used incorrectly as a noun, in an oxymoron, with recursion. That is epic 16th century level nonsense. Nouns and verbs are what, 3rd grade level skills?

I care that it is draconian nonsense. It wasn’t created by planetary scientists, or by consulting any. It was primarily created by a highschool teacher in Temecula California. It is temporally incongruent. Saying it is not a planet then calling it a planet in the following name is an oxymoron, or rather just moronic. And it impedes real science and science communication depreciating the era and discoveries that have happened.

The real definition of worlds is by gravitational differentiation and the point at which a body is dominated by geology.

No object is ever defined by external factors. It is a fundamental elementary logic failure to attempt to do so. If you drive your car in a bicycle lane and clear out all the cyclists, what the &%$# object is defined. Absolutely nothing! You may define a condition here, not an object, not a noun! The fact that this definition even exists is an epic embarrassment that makes the entire field look like a bunch of dogmatic clowns.
