IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is essentially this. it's supposed to work even when the connection is intermittent and there's a long delay. You make a request to download something, and the protocol finds the fastest way to get it, which could ideally be from someone who's already downloaded it from earth.

I think they've actually done some tests with satellites.

It could have been competitive if the Delta IV line at Michoud had ever been able to work at something closer to full capacity. It was designed to roll out 40 D4 CBCs per year and the highest it ever manged was six. Full capacity would have put it in a position to compete on price with the Atlas V, but with the late 90s constellations all dead you need something else to bring in that business.

The best idea for that I've ever come across would be if NASA/Congress had decided to go with an EELV-based moon program instead of Constellation and the Ares 1/5. One lunar mission would have needed four Heavy launches to get its parts into orbit, and that would take 30% of Michoud's yearly capacity. Two moon missions a year plus a good domestic manifest of 4 government Medium launches and one NatSec Heavy would have the factory working at 75% capacity, which would start to bring costs into line with the original projections.

The remaining Delta capacity might still be more expensive than the Ariane 5 ECA, but Delta can do direct to GEO insertions which Ariane 5 can't. Commercial customers would be willing to pay a small premium for a rocket that can fly direct, so even if it's the most expensive launcher on the market it wouldn't be a complete pariah.

good idea, but to be honest with you, i STILL don't understand why we're not just doing that exact thing with falcon 9/heavy
the amount of mass they could get into orbit and the low pricing would make for a comically cheap lunar program, even if slightly more complicated because everything has to be sent up in smaller chunks and can't fit on one rocket.

exceedingly likely that fungus will become the first issue.
i sincerely hope they make sure to keep good genetic diversity in their crops, otherwise a single good fungus could easily wipe out their food supply.
wouldn't be very easy to quarantine as well, considering spores travel through the smallest gaps and diseases like these generally only show their signs until it's far too late.

apple orchards traditionally had roses planted in or near them for this same reason btw, roses and apples are in the same family and susceptible to many of the same diseases, but roses show visual signs of fungal or bacterial infection far sooner, giving you some oppertunity to react.

It doesn't spend enough money in the right places. The only reason that Apollo got funded in the first place was because it used rockets built in Alabama, powered by engines destined and constructed in California, launching from a spaceport in Florida, with everything being run from a mission control center in Texas, and that was with the Soviets looming over everything. Just paying a few NASA research labs and commercial contractors to put together a lunar program on the cheap doesn't grease enough palms. In terms of mass lifted and missions flown Falcon 9's 2023 performance was dead on for what NASA was advertising that the Shuttle would do back in the late 70s. Congress canceled the lunar aspects of STS before anyone even had a chance to find out about the program's actual price tag.

is there any reason to believe it would be particularly challenging to intercept a ballistic missile (not a MIRV or something)
I was under the impression that the difficulty arises via saturation and the reality that a single warhead getting through can be catastrophic, and that ballistic missiles aren't often lobbed so the opportunities for a real world hostile interception don't come up often
isn't the whole point/problem of ballistic trajectories that they are quite predictable and regular?

No, I mean that the interior of that space station is laid out for use in 1g even though it would actually be inhabited in microgravity. There's a designated floor, and a designated ceiling with lights. The equipment is all on the "walls" perpendicular to the designated floor and ceiling. In this space station everything is laid out as though there is a natural "up" and "down" but that doesn't make sense in space.

We all carry microflora and -fuana with us. The diversity and distribution of those species varies depending on where you live on earth. It's way out of my field, but I wonder what/if studies have been done on how to manage our microbiomes in a Martian biosphere with only intermittent and indirect contact with Earth.
As far as useful microbes go, there are others we'd want to bring along too, like yeast, and probably some nitrogen fixers for farms if we decide to try out soils in the domes instead of hydroponics.

If they mean to spin it to create artificial gravity, then it's still laid out completely wrong. But the other images suggest that this thing doesn't spin at all and the centrifuge is a small part of it one one end.

Why even have "decks" in this thing? All the equipment is in the "walls", the "deck" only exists to be walked on which you can't do in this because even if you spun it the "decks" wouldn't be the floors.

in microgravity, every surface becomes useful storage/working space. floors/ceilings don't need to exist. Those "decks" will likely just be more "wall" space, and in that way they're extremely useful.

Spinhabs: aren’t there a number of serious practical concerns once you go beyond a certain size? Firstly, how would one transfer from a spoke to the central axel, unless you constantly rotate the axel as well? Secondly and more importantly, how do you maintain integrity and an even rotation and avoid tumbling and chaotic rotation when mass will inevitably be irregularly distributed along the interior of the wheel? What happens if that irregularity becomes quite significant and concentrated? Could the Dzhanibekov effect cause tumbling?

Regular and periodic tumbling sure, but what about chaotic or even just irregular tumbling? What if the rate of tumbling shifts? And why wouldn’t it since the density of the ring will be constantly shifting. And any amount of tumbling would make docking that much more difficult

You can keep the mass stable around the ring of a large station by having separated tanks of water around the outside that you pump water actively between as people move around. Going to need shielding anyway.

Anonymous No. 16128348

Hell you wouldn't even need to pump the water, if you made it so that people moved through the station anti-spinwards generally you could just use coriolis force to shift the water mass with a simple valve for most of the time.

Anonymous No. 16128349

>>16128342
That’s not a bad idea. I was thinking that actually just making the ring itself very massive/dense would help by making the fluctuations a lesser percentage of the total mass.

I’ve drafted a few tabletop space games but I can’t really get something that is satisfying to play but feels at least adjacent to real life

If it helps, realize nearly all of modern computing was already designed in the 60s

One of the neat tricks though was offloading all the computing to the ground, because the computers necessary for the moon mission trajectory were multiple tons and took up entire building floors. The capsule basically ran control algorithms and an extremely detailed timetable

there is a link here to download a 19 page source selection document pdf

> The document confirmed listings in procurement databases that nine companies submitted LTV proposals. The statement said that NASA deemed three proposals, from automotive technology company 3Sixty Degrees, space robotics company GITAI and a company identified only as ORBIT, as unacceptable and were not evaluated.
>The evaluation then ruled out proposals from Astrobotic, Blue Origin and Leidos, but did not specify why those proposals failed to make the cut. Astrobotic and Blue Origin had not disclosed plans to compete for an LTV contract, but Leidos did announce its plans a year ago, working with partners that included racing company NASCAR.
