About the Caplain Thruster (or stellar engine), the "depletion" of the star is actually a very big bonus instead of an issue since reducing the star's mass will reduce the rate of fusing hydrogen, which will prolong the star's overall life. We can do that in the future (if we survive as a species of course) to steadily prolong our Sun's life for tens or even hundreds of billions of years. It will take a lot of resources to do it, but it doesn't require some exotic matter or new physics like for worm holes or warp drives which we don't know if it will ever be possible. It's our most realistic shot at surviving in the very far future. And being able to push the star in the direction we want, we can prevent potentially being ejected from the galaxy during The Milky Way and Andromeda collision.

[@matthewluecke3704]

Ringworld is a very old hard sci-fi book by Larry Niven that I recommend to anyone. It is great as a first sci-fi book for someone to read and great for sci fi fans. The sequels and stories set in the same universe are great. Niven wrote for Star Trek: The Animated Series (and the Kzinti from Ringworld/Known Space make an appearance). He also wrote some Green Lantern comic books and several other sci fi stories with Jerry Pournelle.

With the Caplan thruster, the using up of the star's material faster is actually an added benefit, not a downside. Starlifting (the term for removing material from a star) would actually prolong the Sun's life, because larger stars burn through their fuel faster. The larger the star, the shorter its lifespan, by and large.

[@Admiral45-10]

But it reduces the goldilocks zone of the star. With the star being pushed around, habitable planets would have to be moved as well.

I've watched the entire video without any hint what the tier list means? 0:39 gives no clues about the sorting based on what? I initially thought it's about sorting by practicality. Then though about advancement. But I'm still not sure!

[@ninjasheep7492]

Space elevators are underrated. Rockets are very mechanically simplistic creations and therefore don’t have endless potential through “advances in technology”. As it is around 90% of the mass of a rocket must be fuel to leave the gravity of earth. This means giant rockets and lots of fuel to get a small amount of stuff into space. This is unavoidable unless we invent another method of exiting the atmosphere like teleportation or hyper efficient low impact warp or something. With a space elevator the cost of taking things from earth into space is negligible in comparison, only constrained by the capacity of the elevator and its speed. On top of making travel into orbit 10-100x cheaper it also allows rockets to go further. If you assemble a rocket of comparable size to the ones used to escape earths orbit already in low earth orbit it can be a tenth the size or travel an astronomically larger distance much faster. Imo assuming drastic changes like humans only building rockets on the moon don’t happen it’s the precursor structure to truly becoming space faring beyond slow, small, expensive, exploratory missions.
