How many years will be needed for our civilization to launch a self sustaining, independent, off-planet population? It must be able to expand across the solar system autonomously. This is a very crude exercise since we are in the infancy of being leap species wannabes. There are no experts on our interstellar chances or expertise on how a civilization would expand into the solar system. This exercise does not address whether we will still have adequate infrastructure to support the technology before that year arrives. The possible short window of opportunity is a separate matter from this page.
For now the Leap Date Calculator is a fun exercise to focus the LeapSpecies.Space efforts. A discussion driver. And in 30 years you will still be one of the first to give your input and by then we will either have an accurate fix on the Leap Year or we are already failing. Instead let us do our part to make sure it happens and our names will still be here when happy Leapsters do the victory dance in that big year. The year you predicted...
Every 10 user calculations will trigger a leap year recalculation (average).
Please read the Project Documents (PDFs) before doing your calculations.
Each of the 6 technologies will have 2 inputs:
1. Where we are at technologically, RIGHT NOW, for that component of solar system expansion. Judge on a scale of 0 to 10 far how far the technology has evolved from inception (0) to Leap worthy operation (10).
2. How many years will humanity need to implement that technology for permanent off-planet populations.
Then take the longest year projection and place that in the summation slot and add that to the present year and place that figure.
