Pfft, no I don't, but as long as you're here now, why don't you pull up a chair and keep reading eh? I didn't find a thread on "flat earth theory" prior so here we go.
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-z7O7LddYs
 
In the above video, someone sets out with a drone to demonstrate the curvature of the earth by recording the sun setting twice in a day at two different altitudes, first from the ground, the rising upwards after the sun has set and watched it set again at the higher altitude.
 
In the comments I read after the video, numerous people had attempted to debunk the experiment by saying that and I'm not quoting "increased altitude clears away obstacles from the earth which allows for the sun to set twice from the perspective of two different yet perpendicular altitudes." I engaged one such person who actually decided to provide an example of such so I decided to set out my own experiment (mentally of course) in my rebuttal.
 
 
To which I replied:
 
 
And with that I smiled to myself thinking I'd provided a worth while explanation and I'm just awaiting a reply should one ever come.
 
I had a flat-earther in one of my college classes over the spring semester and we have some good dialogue but I'm curious, what are your thoughts on the whole flat-earth theory? Do you believe in it, if so, why? If you don't, why not? On a side note, do you think this has any relevance to DU? Discuss.

Nope, try again tomorrow fam, because you aint stealing jack from me.

I'd prefer some togglable feature between the two. I can just never visualize the bigger meter units like a meter, kilometer etc.
 
 
Dead Earthly Vegan units of measurement?
 
"Yo the enemy is three devs behind me!!!"
"You got three developers behind you, cool! Hey guys, what is such and such?"
 
I'll see myself out now... 

Well, you already got one in me and we're still in pre-alpha. Give it enough time, they'll come.
 
Maybe consider looking through the organizations and joining up with some like-minded folks that seem to fit your ideals. If you're looking for commadere , you'll definitely find it in an org.

Give me princesses, tic-tacs, gold, gems, kyrum, and I'll go away.

Good luck stalking me, I'm invisible!  

The Aeonian Federation, yes the name has changed and from what I have heard as an outsider, the goal remains the same, an organization of organizations.
 
I share similar concerns that outside the safe zone that there will be boogymen just on the other side ready to take my stuff, I also realize that until proper markets exist that I won't be worth stealing much from unless I go outside the safe zone.
 
The way I see it, I can either choose to stay in prison where everything is black and white, strict, mostly controlled and predictable. On the other hand, I can elect to go out into the free and colorful world where the rules are created and enforced by those around you. Of course, we might be an advanced civilization 10000 years in the future but the player-run police don't dabble in pre-crime so some stranger might shoot you and steal your stuff, maybe they'll get caught, maybe not, sort of like the free world in the real world.
 
I give, maybe it's a terrible analogy, feel free to come up with a better one. Whether or not you like it, shit will happen, and it will be up to you and whatever community you have around you to pick up the pieces after the last bomb drops. For some people, war is money. Money to be made in destroying something, money being made to rebuild it.
 
Don't go out with what you can't afford to lose, if that means your ship gets destroyed and you value the time and effort you spent building it, blueprint it. You won't get your time and resources back, but at least you're not starting from scratch and if you get blown up and have to start from scratch, you're doing it wrong.

Lispy, I have five quotes of things you've said thusfar in the thread which I would love to reply to and help show you the error of your ways, but one major thing has jumped out at me here...
 
If your brother is the one affected (which seems to have started this all), why didn't he make this post instead? Why is it only you posting on his behalf?

Why not Epsilon Ursae Majoris ? After all, it's also called Alioth . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon_Ursae_Majoris

Understandable but I was thinking that since this is going to be the second launch point for "humanity", that it would be something nice to have if not for practicality, but for lore reasons.

We shall name it Novae spes in english it means new hope as like its a new hope for humanity

Nova
Latin: stella nova = new star
We are calling ourself Noveans. And... Nova Quark.

I like the simple name Novus after the ark. Cause why not?

How about Diplós? It's greek for dual (which i think is fitting), it's easy to remember, and i think it sounds cool. What do you guys think?

Solus Venturis

Solus can me lonely and single but also has the root "sol" like you mentioned
Venturis can mean future

So I think it would be fitting to name it "Solus Venturis" with my interpretation being "The Solar System of Our Future"

Given the backstory is that our home planet was destroyed and this is our new hope for the future.

Throughout time, man has looked up to the sun in awe of its majesty and beauty. It brings light to our eyes and warmth to our skin. It allows trees to photosynthesize lethal gas into breathable air and beautiful flowering plants such as the sunflower face it as it makes its journey across the sky.
 
The sun has been worshiped as a god and goddess, carried forth on a boat, then a chariot, and brought forth into war on shields and flags of the ancients.
 
The sun has brought us life, fast forward a millennium or two to the year 2000 and humanity had, on the whole, ceased to regard it in their everyday life. It became, predictable, one might say. Expected to set and rise again the next day without fail. Many chose to forget about it as we looked not towards the stars above, but to the false stars we had created and risen up down below.
 
Those who kept looking up above had given it many names over time, but before we left our cradle of life, we knew our home star as Sol.
 
As denizens of a new world, what shall we call our home star?
