First off those estimates are based only on whats visible from orbit, theres probably quite a bit more dry ice then we can see, so take that 1.6% as a lower bound rather than a max.
Secondly there are many other gas reservoirs than the poles, for just one example we were talking about perchlorate eating bacteria last thread and as it so happens that process makes pure oxygen as a by product. There is a lot of perchlorates on mars.

>A desert moss could be the key to terraforming Mars, according to a recent study published by Chinese scientists.

>Due to its extraordinary resilience, Syntrichia caninervis (S. caninervis), a moss found in extreme desert environments from Tibet to Antarctica, has been touted a "pioneer plant" for establishing a livable environment on Mars. Basically, scientists believe this plant could enrich the planet's rocky surface to enable the growth of other plants.

A few studies have explored alternative possibilities of these terraforming seeds, such as algae and lichens. "However, plants such as mosses offer key benefits for terraforming, including stress tolerance, a high capacity for photoautotrophic growth, and the potential to produce substantial amounts of biomass under challenging conditions," the new study's team wrote in the paper.

Going to an polar orbit you'd be dropping hyperbolic Ariane 1 stages on Mauritania and Senegal. Going to an equatorial orbit you'd be dropping them on Algeria and Lybia, and this was back in the days when Libya and ballistic missiles was a serious issue. That said, I'm pretty sure the Canaries was on a list at some point, even if it wasn't ever near the top.

>>16269571
Mauritania wasn't the worst place in Africa during the 1970s, but in 1978 President Moktar Ould Daddah, the French backed post-colonial dictator, was ousted in a coup and the country passed through a series of military juntas. Even if dropping stages in the desert was considered acceptable it just wasn't stable enough for a major European project like the Ariane 1. Besides, the launch market back then was focused on geostationary payloads and Europe was looking for something as equatorial as possible to maximize their competitiveness.

>SpaceX’s Starship launch vehicle elicits strong opinions. Take, for example, Toni Tolker-Nielsen, ESA’s director of space transportation. Asked in a SpaceNews interview about how Starship might affect Europe’s Ariane 6, he was dismissive. “Honestly, I don’t think Starship will be a game-changer or a real competitor,” he said, concluding that Starship was oversized for the types of satellites that would fly on Ariane 6. “Starship will not eradicate Ariane 6 at all.”
>“How are we differentiated? Well, Falcon and Starship are rockets optimized for LEO operations,” said Tory Bruno, CEO of ULA, in a call with reporters June 26 about plans for his company’s second Vulcan launch. He argued Vulcan was optimized for high-energy missions. “We’re competing quite well.”
>“I caution against saying they still have a long way to go because every time we’ve made that mistake in the past, they will be there. They will be ready. It will work,” said Arianespace’s Rutgers of SpaceX’s Starship development, acknowledging that his company and others dismissed SpaceX in the past. “I caution against hubris, so we have to constantly improve ourselves.”

They're hoping that SpaceX will not manage to repeat its success in booster reuse with Starship's two critical technologies: low cost ship reuse, and orbital refueling. The unspoken reality is that they don't have the business plan, cash flows, cash reserves, or investors to justify trying to develop a plan for it.

It was a Chinese satellite paid for by Nigerians. Truly a stunning technological achievement for Africa (They managed to pay the bill, which requires at least a primitive understanding of money).
>NigComSat-1 was a Nigerian communication satellite. The initial contract to build the satellite was signed in 2004. It was launched in China by Nasrda and became the third African geosynchronous communication satellite, when it was launched at 16:01 UTC on 13 May 2007, aboard a Chinese Long March 3B carrier rocket, from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in China. The spacecraft was operated by Nigerian Communications Satellite Ltd (NIGCOMSAT). On November 11, 2008, NigComSat-1 failed in orbit after running out of power due to an anomaly in its solar array.

You'd lose a lot of performance. First you need to keep the weight of the fairings all the way to orbit instead of dropping them around the 200s mark, then you need to make them a lot heavier by adding an orbital-grade TPS. You could do it but you'd lose way too much payload to make it worth the effort.

Very dependant on proximity to sun. How hot does a black body get at earth's orbit? That gives you your hotside temperature, Carnot theorem limits power enormously.

Way to get around this is to add mirrors. Concentrate the solar rays down to a much smaller thermal collector and you'll increase the BB temperature. You could even angle the mirrors via servo to get some degree of control over heating.

Project Lyra, a mission to catch up to 2017U1, the first known interstellar object to pass through our solar system, will use an Oberth manuever to accelerate a craft to >50km/s, however, there will be a ~17km/s difference during approach that will make a potential landing on the object impossible.

17 km/s isn't actually that hard to get with a decent ion drive. An 8000s isp engine could get that sort of performance with a mass ratio of less that 2. The only problem is that when you're 180+ AU out into the abyss nuclear is your only real option for power and that puts a fairly large minimum size on your spacecraft. Project Lyra itself is even worse because a lot of that speed is coming from the mother of all Oberth maneuvers, which requires its own propellant as well as the sturdiest thermal protection system ever designed, neither of which are going to be very light. I've seen a few proposals for sundiving probes that used a discarding heat shield on the way in and a solar sail for acceleration on the way out, but if you're carrying a reactor that's not going to be a viable option.

A trench adds more surfaces that need upkeep against rocket impingement. A strictly open pad has no surfaces to maintain. A strictly open pad is in conflict with the reality that there are things around the pad that are not going to have a good time dealing with the flame plume, so it's better to have a surface whose specific purpose is only dealing with the flame plume.

Interesting I was just thinking how easy it is in dykery. I mean when you do the math each floridaman would essentially have to pay for only 0.1 meters of dam which really isn't a lot.

Have we ever seen a steam rocket that could come anywhere close to these specs? The CER-160 they're showing off in the video looks like it could barely do 200m horizontal.

It's "interesting" that they never show views from the "rockets" or any wide angles. You can clearly hear that the audio ends like 3 seconds after launch so there's no way any of those are going higher than a $20 model rocket would, and these are presumably without any payload.
