Ok so this might be a bit of a spirituality postulation, but the implications are more bent toward the scientific.

If the human species could work together what could we acomplish and how long would these things take?
What I mean is that if the whole planet somehow became united tomorow (the exact means are beside the point) what things would we achieve to further our species? How long till we could colonize mars for example? 1 year 2? what do you all think? What other endeavors would we take on?

A few ideas:
Cancer - under control insede of 5 years, a thing of the past within 10
Fusion power plants - operational within 10 years, perfected within 20.
True AI - achievable if we so choose within 2 or 3 years.
Settlement of key bodies within the solar system - 10 years for some of the closer planetary bodies, 20-25 for some of the farther ones.

I'm interested to see some of your responses.
Get blazed and ponder it. :jointsmile:
