I feel like it would be easier to run a huge fleet of atmospheric scoop satellites on Venus as it is, condense the gathered CO2 into dry ice onboard, fire those pellets from the individual scoops up to a larger consolidated mass in a higher orbit, then ship off a succession of those larger boluses to Mars with a series of plasma magnet sail cycler tugs or something.
Condensing the entire atmosphere first seems like a huge waste of energy.

Freezing satellite mirrors would be passive, and mass drivers would be ground based. Scoop satellites would need to constantly compensate for friction and freeze the atmosphere while in space. This makes no sense at all and isn't better in any way.

you cannot just take Venus' atmosphere and push it to Mars

it would be far easier to set up artificial EMF first, even if it's just localized and not planetary, and then gradually develop the levels of biomass necessary for a rudimentary breathable atmosphere and cleaning the soil

have fun getting baked by solar radiation every time Mars hits perihelion
on Earth it's not really the atmosphere that protects us from rads, it's our magnetosphere that deflects most of it (although the ozone layer is still important)
>it's gonna take millions of years for it to ablate away
idk about that, maybe if it were dumped all at once it would have greater cohesion

Titan has a lower escape velocity than mars does, but it still has a thick nitrogen atmosphere. Granted Nitrogen on Titan also has a lower root mean square speed because its colder, but its not that much lower and as such mars' gravity would be able to hold onto Nitrogen and Oxygen.

CAS's own space scientiifc program is quite interesting, it's also more involved internationally than other chinese scientific programs, the last probe (Eiinstein probe) was an ESA cooperation, the next one (SMILE) is a now rare case of a Chinese bus launching on a western launcher (Vega-C later this year).
Overall the Chinese academy of science, either itself or through its various subsidiaries is building quite a decent space capability.
>CAS Space has the Kinetica 1 launcher, which is the only non-CASC one to start launching international payload (an Omani one last november, a french one,sadly failed, last month); and with a Reusable Medium launcher (Kinetica 2) in development.
>CAS's Microsatellite Academy is contracted to build Qianfan, effectively ~V1 starlink sats at currently roughly 2020 production rate with plans for more; it's also a common contractor for many chinese satellites
>It's also building a Cygnus-like cargo resuply vehicle for Tiangong, and expect it to launch on CAS Space's Kinetica 2 later this year
CAS has already fostered high tech companies before (Lenovo was started by CAS, which still owns a bit of it), but by the end of the decade that Public research institution, despite not being one the "main" Chinese space agency, may have non neglible space capabilities by itself, above say, some big european countries.

Magnetosphere and induced EMF haters cannot think critically.
They took the middle school level earth science take they got that it's the atmosphere protects us from radiation and stopped learning right there. Ofc since their schoolmarms never bothered to mention the magnetosphere for whatever reason, these rocket nerd midwits never bothered to learn about it.
What's really stupid is any search engine query will confirm literally everything I said, any AP science high school student would be able to figure it out without even checking.
*They aren't sending their best.*
The magnetosphere protects us from most of the radiation, the ozone layer takes care of the minority of high frequency stuff that gets through.
If we didn't have a magnetosphere, the ozone layer would get absolutely fucked and vanish over time.

How is it easier to build an orbit-capable mass driver (more realistically you would need thousands if not hundreds of thousands) on a planet with no accessible minerals than to mass-produce scoop satellites on the Moon or Mercury and have them fly themselves to Venus by the millions?
You'd still need orbital infrastructure to move the product from Venus to Mars anyway, unless you think those mass drivers will somehow be direct-delivery to Mars.

>Show your work
Show why scoop satellites are retarded? You should just know this already.
Quick and dirty math says that a scoop satellite the size of the ISS could capture ~100kg in an hour assuming ideal everything (I'm being extremely generous here), so if you had a constellation of ISS sized scoop satellites as large as the planned Starlink network of 34,000, you'd get 30,000,000 tons in a year (to say nothing of how it gets out of the satellites and on to Mars). This means you would be able to double Mars' current tenuous atmosphere in roughly 833 million years.

The whole concept of natural distribution depends on how you define it.
thereโs shitloads of species that mightโve had very different ranges 100.000 years ago but human activity and human migration brought them to new places and they naturalized there in the meantime. The pigeon wood tree (plumeria alba) is estimated to have an original range only in puerto rico and the lesser antilles, but itโs been brought to southeast asia and has been there for thousands of years, i saw tons of them in the wild when i was visiting indonesia, theyโre naturalized there.

Musk not only pays people to boost his ARPG accounts so he can look like a super genius gamer to the public on stream.
He also pays people MUCH LESS than that to fellate his image, run damage control, astroturf, hype, etc on a Cambodian basket weaving forum.
See, once it became fucking obvious to everyone his position on the D4 leaderboard was fake and gay it became much easier to convincingly point out to people who would not have otherwise considered the possibility that he also has shills elsewhere.
Personally, I doubt this ever occured to him.
That's why you bothered replying to me, again. Even though ostensibly, according to you, that would be dumb.

Best joe rogan podcasts are when he keeps his mouth shut and lets the guest speak.
I'm still mad about the musk podcast where he just kept asking shit about AI&cybertruck and asked no questions at all about spaceX, it was obvious that he was told by musk to keep pushing those topics.

I'm not talking about that, he, and a lot of docters who got their life destroyed for defending that at the time, where very much right about it.
I'm talking about him getting very defensive on soft drugs policy, while he has people on his podcast telling him how many lives this shit has destroyed.

this is the brigading mass-report discord hugbox at work keeping the quality of discussion low
they are mad simply because I mentioned artificial EMF rad shielding, a technology being developed by NASA with several working prototypes
these retards didn't even know about this shit until I mentioned it and simply expected Mars mission astronauts to be irradiated with no protection at all
https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/
>Deployed Electromagnetic Radiation Deflector Shield
"provides a magnetic field that will deflect SEPs and CMEs and other harmful solar and cosmic rays away from a manned spacecraft, robotic spacecraft, or manned extra-planetary base stations using an electromagnet that is deployed between the spacecraft station and the source of radiation and creates a magnetosphere or zone of minimal radiation"
https://www.nasa.gov/general/spacec
"optimal shielding configuration has been realized during the phase I study, and it is referred to as a Magnetospheric Dipolar Torus (MDT). This configuration has the singular ability to deflect the vast majority of the GCR including HZE ions. In addition, the MDT shields both habitat and magnets eliminating the secondary particle irradiation hazard, which can dominate over the primary GCR for the closed magnetic topologies"
https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/nmp/st5/SC
"magnetosphere is a strong magnetic field that surrounds our planet. Acting as a shield, it deflects most solar energetic particle radiation that emanates from the Sun. For along with light, hot gases spew from the Sun and travel at a speed of a million miles an hour through space. They travel so fast that scientists call them collectively the "solar wind." As the hot gases of the solar wind approach Earth, they would singe our atmosphere if not for the magnetosphere."

Yeah, the W66. The idea was the burst of neutrons would cause the enemy warhead to partially fission (fizzle) far from the target and with a substantially reduced yield.
Later, neutron bombs were further developed for their ability to kill people inside of tanks. Tanks it turned out were pretty damn good at keeping their crew alive through the blast effect of nearby nuclear explosions, but couldn't stop neutron radiation from killing the crew outright.

>2024 YR4 is currently Torino level 3 - the first to reach this rating in the history of the Sentry risk table (although Apophis did reach Torino 4). All of the virtual impactor sources generally agree - CNEOS gives 1.2%, NEODyS gives 1.4%, and ESA gives 1.1%. Further, the virtual impact isn't very far from nominal, within 0.4 sigma for all for sources.
>The Line of Variations of the impact range covers a range just south of Costa Rica (earth-grazing), passing over Colombia and Venezuela into the Atlantic, through the Gulf of Guinea (an almost vertical impact at up to 83 degrees), Nigeria, Cameroon, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Yemen, the Arabian Sea, and finally again a grazing impact over central India.
>At present, the ephemeris uncertainty is low enough that it's very unlikely that we will be able to confirm or rule out an impact before it fades out of detectability. YR4 will be magnitude 25 by the time the uncertainty reaches 0.1", and magnitude 27 by the time it reaches 0.5". If an impact is not ruled out through extraordinary observation efforts by then, it will take until 2028 for it to be brought enough to observe again, at which point it will become brighter than magnitude 21 and be relatively trivial to recover. Although using current published observations it's possible that an impact may be ruled out with 0.5" of uncertainty, the following section should explain why I personally doubt that will happen.

>I searched a couple days ago for negative observations of 2024 YR4 during its 2016 approach. Although the virtual impactor has no images deep enough to rule it out (A DECam image is frustratingly only half a magnitude too shallow to potentially detect it) I can rule out a great deal of its non-impacting orbits using a number of Subaru images taken in early August 2016. Among these, I can rule out a great deal of the 'early' side of the line of variations. The asteroid will most likely not make an early perigee anywhere between 120,000 and 1,000,000 kilometers, or between 350,000 and 740,000 on the 'late' side. Working with Daniel Bamberger on calculations, this rules out something between 60% and 80% of possible non-impacting trajectories, and makes the actual impact chance in reality at something between 3% and 6% (closer to 6% if you include the first observation, a singlet from ATLAS on the 25th on which the orbit depends greatly, and closer to 3% if you ignore it). I personally consider the measurement and its associated uncertainty trustworthy, but I can understand others disagreeing so that lower chance is included for completeness.
>So: in reality, the impact chance of 2024 YR4 is much higher than currently reported due to negative observations, possibly as high as 6%. I invite people to double check and verify my claims here, because if they are correct this may have some pretty significant consequences for the approach to this potential impactor and may need reflecting in public-facing announcements.

That's just confusing then, because usually Iron Dome refers to the Israeli system, but now there's two of them. You're right, the Iron Dome 2: American Boogaloo is definitely space based.
There's no technical details on it yet, but yea it obviously requires many space-related assets, such as launch detector satellites and the interceptors themselves.

Seriously though, with all the launch capability that SpaceX has lately, we need to launch missions to land transponders onto these big rocks so that we can track them better. Add a camera and we can get some nice pics on the way in too.
Of course the tricky part is slowing down to land on it instead of just flying by.

Nudging an asteroid like this onto a "preferred path" is the next-gen planetary engineering we ALL have been waiting for.
I AM READY. Finally, energies which dwarf our nuclear arsenal have been harnessed, we must use these powers wisely.
The fact that celestial impactors favor equatorial regions naturally is just a happy coincidence. Because these are the same places where the impacts can create the change we want to see in the world.

Iirc it sort of bends the waves apart and might "pop" one or two eventually over time which isn't very loud (essentially a bunch of doors being randomly opened and closed nearby) instead of collecting several waves and immediately making them violently explode sounding like a gunshot as it breaks through them. That's why every quiet SST you have seen so far has a needle fuselage and those very streaked bended looking wings. The key to breaking the sound barrier quietly is to not break it and not force your way through it basically

>Nudging an asteroid like this onto a "preferred path" is the next-gen planetary engineering we ALL have been waiting for.
There was a study in the 70s or so with a proposed candidate they considered back then. It is quite cool.
