>A System Architecture for Human Lunar Return 12 Oct 2024.pdf
>The history of and the present approach to U.S. human lunar landing missions are discussed, with attention to the importance of maintaining leadership in space from the perspective of U.S. global stature and influence. The NASA Artemis lunar mission architecture and plans are outlined and programmatic and technical issues contributing to the complexity and fragility of the present mission design are discussed. An alternative dual-launch architecture is offered and a point-design within that architecture is assessed. The proposed design assumes a crewed lander based on existing technology, incorporates flight proven systems for other elements, and is shown to meet NASAโs basic Artemis requirement โ four crew to the lunar South Polar region for a week โ with significantly reduced complexity and crew and mission risk.

You could get that much delta-v using one of Starlink's ion thrusters on a probe with a 3:1 mass ratio. The problem is that those engine need about 4.2 kW to run and Cassini's RTGs only could put out 800W at their freshest. A big RTG array or an actual reactor could get the job done, but the best that a fully expended Falcon Heavy could fling to LYRA's launch C3 of 50 km2/s2 is about 9,000 kg. You'd only be looking at about 2 tons of probe, and you'd still need to include some mass for the best heat shield NASA has ever built so it can survive flying that close to the sun. More likely you'd need to use Starship or New Glenn with a big kickstage to get the whole mess outbound to Jupiter

I liked it, but I'll elaborate. It's not the same game, but more. There is a heavier story focus and a lot of dialog (most of which is optional, characters just walk around the level while you solving the puzzles). This replaces a lot of terminal reading (which still exists). The levels are more open form and scenic, but this creates a walking time issue. The puzzles (the most important part) are still quite plentiful and there is a bunch of new mechanics. And as for the DLC, it's great all around, except that its third part was so hard that I just gave up. Personally, 8/10.

PLASMA AND MAGNETIC SHIELDING FOR SPACECRAFT PROTECTION
>An approach for electromagnetic deflection of high energy particles, space dust, and micrometeoroids for the purpose of protecting spacecraft is investigated.
First, a general equation system is established, with the most significant force component being that from the Lorentz force.
An additional mechanism for aiding the deflection through the means of increasing the charge of the particle when in contact with an artificial plasma is presented.
Various results from simulations are shown, taking into account different spacecraft and plasma parameters.
High energy protons are successfully deflected by solely using a field on the order of 10 -4 Tesla.
Some micrometeoroids in the microgram weight range are also deflected with magnetic field and plasma density on the order of 100 Tesla and 1015 m-3 , respectively.
Heavier micrometeoroids on the range of a microgram are seen to be deflected at extremely high magnetic fields on the order
of 4000 Tesla at head-on trajectories.
Unless a new technological breakthrough occurs in this area, such a high field is impossible to currently engineer. However, a 100 Tesla field makes deflection possible for 70.8 percent of 1000 particles simulated using random trajectories for the same microgram particle in a 10 15 m-3 artificial plasma.

Sure, but you're going to have to upgrade fusion weapons production by several orders of magnitude to have any kind of useful fleet. That's going to be insanely expensive, burning nukes as starship fuel. Also how long can you sustain that kind of operation? Going to be uranium ore issues pretty fast when you only get like 2% yield into fissionable uranium.
Just invest that into beamed power stations instead. Laser sail, laser thermal, microwave, whatever. High upfront cost, upkeep minimal. As opposed to burning expensive high technology as fuel.

Problem is that you'll have to slow down, so 5 days to Mars. That's pretty good. But you'll run out of fissible first before you can scale this architecture out in a meaningful way. Also extraction of nuclear material and use of it in such a way, at scale, creates immense environmental and strategic/national security risks, as you'd need hundreds or even thousands of facilities producing basically nukes to supply fleets of Orion ships. Which makes it easy for any disgruntled yahoo to walk off with a pocket nuke or detonate one in any such facility, grinding the efficiency of it all, to a halt. Orion is a cool concept, but a really shit architecture because the security and management overhead costs to keep it flying is nightmarish and vastly in excess of anything chemprop or just waiting long enough to do traditional fusion torches or just skip that step straight to anti-proton engines.

No, you'll likely need 10x that. Space is big and space is empty, but the problem is we have no data of anything beyond our heliopause. The probability of a lot of rogue material out there is significant and 1cm of aluminum is going to do jackshit if over the course of a 30 year period you encounter anything bigger more than a miligram of material out there. e = mc^2 right, so 0.1g of material x 0.2c^2 means a kinetic impact is 8,990,000 MJ of energy or 2.1486615679 kilotons of energy released. Let's assume that the ship instead encounters 1mg of material or 0.001g of material. At that velocity, the impact will generate 21T of energy. Based off a quora answer, a WW2 sherman tank does around 390g of explosive charge against a target. 21T is like a million times that at least. 1cm of aluminium is going to do absolutely jack fucking shit in terms of protection. The erosion across long distances from encountering stray hydrogen isn't the risk, but its the fingernail sized stuff that floats out there too. You need waaaaaaaaaaaaay more shielding against 21T of energy conversion on impact.
And whatever that shielding is, needs to be able to handle probably hundreds if not thousands of those; because the journey is going to take you 30 years, and that's 6 light years is really really really REALLY FUCKING FAR when you're only going 0.2c

The upper figures are for fusion-powered tungsten shaped charges with an ablative pusher plate. Keep in mind these studies were done in the 1960s, so we might be able to do even better now.
>>16508468
You can't reach 0.1c within the solar system, that would be used for interstellar travel. It would take years to accelerate if you have humans on board due to G force limitations. That's just the theoretical upper limit anyway, this can scale down to "small" Earth orbit launches too.
And who says we need a fleet, or that this needs to take place on Earth? Kickstart a space nuclear industry in one 1000-ton launch with a few hundred bombs.
>>16508459
>high cost of atomic bombs
You're forgetting something: Ships can be thousands of tons, even millions. The overall cost per kg to anywhere in the Solar system is pennies.
You're also forgetting that we were producing thousands of warheads per year at the height of the Cold War, and those were weapons-sized. With modern nuclear technology, bombs can be made very small and cheap, especially fission-ignited fusion charges.
>but then a mission would need to be huge
Yes, that's why we haven't done it yet.
But if we did want an actual self-sustatining colony or any kind of industry in space on on the Moon or Mars, Orion is by far the best, maybe even the only way.
It's amazing what you can do with 75,000 Isp. I don't know if y'all play KSP but it's hard to overstate how ludicrous that is. It completely rewrites the rules of space travel.

Think in terms of cost per Joule. Fusion is far and away the absolute cheapest source of energy, the problem is we can't use it to generate electricity. But we can use it to propel spacecraft, very efficiently in fact.
If you built a fusion reactor (hypothetical future technology) and used it to power a highly efficient beamed power station (hypothetical future technology), you would still be propelling spacecraft with nuclear energy, but in a way more convoluted and expensive way than the simple way that's already available.

I didn't think I would have to explain this, but here goes. I suggested some hypothetical ultra-efficient ultra-cheap fusion power because that's the best possible theoretical scenario, in order to demonstrate that it STILL can't come close in terms of efficiency or cost. If you substitute that for solar panels that are literally 100x the cost per joule of current fusion warheads, you're not doing yourself any favors. And you can think more like 1000x the cost if you put everything in space.
And at the end of the day, you still end up with a thoroughly inferior propulsion system. The best electric or thermal propulsion can only scratch the thousands in terms of Isp, all while making millinewtons of thrust.

wider boosteris critical because it lowers the terminal velocity. the engine bells get fucked up badly on the present booster because it was designed with a much lower height to width in mind, and the switch to stainless made it heavier so it really should be even wider than they were initially planning

no, original BFR was the minimum viable product to kick off Mars colonization. Present starship is way too small for that but can be a stepping stone to thereal thing and could support a few dozen people on a permenant moon base.

>Additionally, Blue Origin needs to fly its New Glenn rocket in order to identify where the vehicle has margin. Sources have indicated that the payload capacity of the current iteration of New Glenn is closer to 25 metric tons than its advertised mass of 45 tons. This is not uncommon for new launch vehicles, and the company will be able to use real-world performance data to refine the vehicle's hardware and software for future flights. Still, those improvements can only be made after a launch occurs, when data is collected and analyzed.

Solar, Wind and Nuclear are great and but it's going to take longer than 20-30yrs to wean ourselves off of Oil and Gas (barring some massive breakthrough in fusion) and then you've got the "developing nations" like India and China and huge growing populations in Africa and bullshit terms like 'Net Zero' or 'Carbon Footprint' which will just undo any progress new renewables make.

Solar is already cheaper than anything else and will be 100x cheaper soonish and these countries have much higher sunlight hours than any developed country. EVs are cheaper and much lower maintenance (important for retarded countries) than ICE cars. No third world country is going to start industrializing on gas or coal.

Solar is shit as grid power but it's a very cheap form of energy. The problem is that it got cheap faster than anyone was expecting, so solar adaptive industry has only just begun to be worked on. There's also the issue of large footprint industrial processes making it through environmental review. Cheap energy is good, so solar is good. The problems lie elsewhere

>>Solar is shit as grid power
The economy runs off grid power, ergo solar is shit for the economy. The big problem here is saboteurs masquerading as activists deliberately undermining all other forms of power, burdening them with lawsuits and regulations, to artificially raise costs, which in turn inflicts immense economic damage.

Some take on the same concept as the now-never-to-be SABRE engine. I think the "viable" part really does require some kind of hybrid approach where you're using free oxidizer to get up to an appreciable velocity and altitude.

"The committee is aware of recent positive developments in developing low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), which produce ultra-clean, low-cost renewable energy that have strong national security implications. For example, according to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), if LENR works it will be a "disruptive technology that could revolutionize energy production and storage." The committee is also aware of the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency's (DARPA) findings that other countries including China and India are moving forward with LENR programs of their own and that Japan has actually created its own investment fund to promote such technology. DIA has also assessed that Japan and Italy are leaders in the field and that Russia, China, Israel, and India are now devoting significant resources to LENR development."

โข Transmutations, which/what dependant upon experiment details

โข Little worrisome radiation, no dead graduate students, No way to overcome Coulomb Barrier via strong force physics
>Summary of Evidence for Weak Force
โข Metal hydrides of both H & D
โข High H loading required
โข Not just 4He being produced
โข Range of elemental transmutations
โข Energy input needed
โข Forcing at resonant hydride frequencies is effective
โข Only Sporadic detection of neutron or gamma radiation

โข LENR may solve Global Climate and Energyโฆ..
โข A 10KW device would solve oil issues, power transportation, provide distributed generation for homes, some industrial applications, desalinate water
โข Theory indicates scales from PDAs to GW Power plants, could possibly replace petroleum, natural gas and coal, as well as Fission Nuclear. Possibly less expensive than โconventional โRenewablesโ

Mars alcohol will be better than Earth alcohol because fermentation happens more efficiently and produces a stronger product in low-G.
Same goes for pickles, miso, and the like.
This same effect has significant implications for human health, as bacterial growth in the gut and elsewhere is positively affected by fermentation.

Chemists Unravel Reaction Mechanism for Clean Energy Catalyst
>Brookhaven National Laboratory (.gov)
Pulse radiolysis experiments at Brookhaven Lab revealed rapid reactivity that has never been observed before
>May 15, 2023
Chemists at the University of Kansas and the U.S. Department of Energyโs (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have unraveled the entire reaction mechanism for a key class of water-splitting catalysts. Their work was published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Brookhavenโs Accelerator Center for Energy Research (ACER) is one of only two locations in the United States where this technique can be conducted, thanks to the Labโs advanced particle accelerator complex.
โWhen these electrons pass through the chemical solution weโre studying, they ionize the solvent molecules, generating charged species that are intercepted by the catalyst molecules, which rapidly alter in structure. We then use time-resolved spectroscopy tools to monitor the chemical reactivity after this rapid change occurs.โ
pentamethylcyclopentadienyl rhodium complex, or Cp*Rh complex, was demonstrating reactivity in an area where molecules are usually stable
precise chemical details will make it significantly easier for scientists to design more efficient, stable, and cost-effective catalysts for producing pure hydrogen

Ultimately it was built for Mars, but in the meantime the cost and cadence is useful for a LEO constellation (capital) and military E2E (state protection).

>Those mass maneuvers further complicate collision avoidance efforts already hampered by the position errors from the storm. โThen we have no idea when a collision is going to happen. We lose that capability for days at a time,โ he said.
Bad solar weather forecast does seem to be the largest risk for orbital collisions.

>Petit proposed that this second moon had an elliptical orbit, a period of 2 hours 44 minutes, with 3,570 km (2,220 mi) apogee and 11.4 km (7.1 mi) perigee.[8] This claim was soon dismissed by his peers.[9] The 11.4 km (37,000 ft) perigee is similar to the cruising altitude of most modern airliners, and within Earth's atmosphere. Petit published another paper on his 1846 observations in 1861, basing the second moon's existence on perturbations in movements of the actual Moon

>Solar is already cheaper than anything else
Solar is only cheaper because of the "everything else." You can't just extrapolate current trends and conclude solar will magically solve energy by the end of the decade. Solar can't be the foundation of an energy grid without massive energy storage infrastructure or getting a bunch of countries to work together on a massive interconnected global energy network. Neither of which are factored into how "cheap" solar would be for a solar grid.

is it possible that the flight effect comes as a result of that very high rate of spin rather than the atmospheric lift generated by the blades
sufficient gyroscopic force and manipulation of precession causing deflection through conservation of angular momentum as a means of flight supposing a light enough frame, if you will
and there would be reasons involving sensitivity why they would attribute this effect to lift as traditionally understood
>a gyroscope has the ability to lift a fulcrum. This is due to the principle of conservation of angular momentum
>the spinning motion of the gyroscope creates a force that acts in the opposite direction of gravity, allowing it to lift off the ground

Regulation is a pretty flawed concept.
Itโs not just guilty until proven innocent, itโs guilty until โcertifiedโ innocent.
So in many cases it will get corrupted to punish the innocent and reward the (guilty, but not officially guilty) insiders.
Really the better way of doing things would just be a strict enforcement of liability when damages are incurred with no exceptions or watering down of the penalties.
But that would be hard to enforce and even harder to hide bias and corruption under, so itโs passed up on.

>Regulation is a pretty flawed concept.
sure, you got a point there
it's been a problem before, still is
definitely favors the entrenched industry who can afford to purchase the means to overcome these restrictions rather than innovators
but LENR technologies and appliances being made available to the average consumer has WAY too much room for abuse and fuckups
there would need to be a regulatory body responsible for enforcing the application and inspection of governors, like those installed in motor vehicles to control top speed

I would be VERY interested in seeing Ingenuity or some other inspired design attempting liftoff in full vacuum.
Your video shows only a partial vacuum IIRC. Could be wrong, in fact if they didn't pull a full vacuum for testing I would be surprised.
But in all the materials I have overviewed in my study I haven't come across such a thing.
Success in such a scenario would settle the question, and from what I know about gravity and spin it SHOULD be possible.

The Martian atmosphere density is less than 1% of Earth's.
Basically it just doesn't exist, and this should completely defeat conventional aerodynamics.
Which is why I think this effect must be related to the interaction of spin with gravitational force rather than atmospheric lift.

What's truly ridiculous is that SpaceX did a 10:1 stock split prior to their money raise at 250B, and then had to reduce share buyback in order to allow new investors in. This means that likely around the 450-500B mark, they'll need to do another 10:1 split in order to keep up with their money raising goals, in order to fund Starlink Gen3 and get it up to a volume wherein they can stop raising money completely and rely entirely on Starlink revenue to drive the company permanently.
Every split they do, its technically dilution, but so many people want to buy shares, the dilution is irrelevant--but ironically, as a result of this, everyone who already has shares, will go from thousands to tens of to hundreds of to millions of to potentially billions of dollars in value themselves.
There's never been a company on this level in the history of the world and its hasn't even landed its Starship on the Moon yet. A moon landing will 10x the company valuation today and a Mars' landing would 10x that again likely.

hold up
the reason Ingenuity crashed is not just due to it's sensors getting confused or failing

that's a flaw
