lmao "when scientists and engineers figure out how to do it". You can't just engage in magical thinking and frame it as science, sorry.
I'm absolutely loving this interaction, but the person you're arguing with is probably 15 at most. And if not, I honestly feel sorry for them.

You can when it is a hypothetical to make your point.
...No, you can't, because then your point is "maybe one day, space magic will be real!" And that makes you sound like a lobotomite.
"Hypothetically, some magical bullshit could happen contrary to the known laws of physics (not to mention economics), and that would make me right. Bet you didn't think of that huh?"
Win every argument with this high-level lobotomite strategy!
"I'm going to miss the point on purpose and make shit up because I want to try bully someone who I view as ideologically different to me because they insulted my hivemind pointing out an obvious error"
Win every argument with this high-level lobotomite strategy!
