At this time I am considering that the cone is the transition between the cylinder and the disk(Torus). Between the two major types of in space habitats.

I hope that it is more like a disk than a cylinder. So, I hope to escape gyroscopic flip flops.
The structure may provide some cooled surfaces for AI, and of course intercepts the sunlight.
Unlike a Stanford Torus, this might not have pressurized spokes. But a ship could land inside of it, and using safe methods the inner surface of the cone could be walked on. Stairs, safety harnesses?
So, I am thinking of a structure like this for part of a "Planet Pass Spaceship".
Although space stations and other structure might be built like this.

There are hints that the Polynesians or someone related to them also leaked into the Americas.
Then the Norse started traveling to the Americas. But they were too related to the Native Americans. The Native Americans have a relationship to the Steppe Peoples who invaded Europe, and India. If the Norse had had nasty diseases, they might have killed the Native Americans with that. But it appears that they did not carry such.

It is like a chemical reaction, or if you like a storm where the power is a Vacuum that gradually dissipates.
You seek to blame someone for what is called Colonialism which is to some extent over. It was a storm. In part powered by as Peter Zeihan said, people with guns bringing them to a knife fight.
Now will you blame me for the Opium Wars? That was just Mafia like people who responded to an opportunity to take their guns to a knife fight.

It is said that about 6% of men are psychopaths. Am I to pay a price for what psychopaths of the past no longer living did with temptation?
And while we are at it lets speculate on the psychopaths of the females who crave a clash between male groups. The damage from the Male Psychopaths is somewhat easier to evaluate.
Genetic updating is likely where a special skill enables a aggressor to penetrate into an existing body of people who tend to not have that advantage. The same may be true for memes as well.
We really are "Riders on the Storm". It is good if we try to be moral and responsible, but I am not willing to be punished for what yesterdays psychopaths did.
I believe that we may have 4 cells between Sub Sahara Africa and the East Asians. And even though I indicate the 4 cells as being outside of the (+) and (-) actually they are as well parts of the cells.

From the prior post:
This looks like almost compatible with some Earth environments and perhaps some future Mars environments:
So, I am going to speculate on Sargasso Seaweed as a crop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sargassum
Quote:
Sargassum is a genus of brown macroalgae (seaweed) in the order Fucales of the class Phaeophyceae.[1] This brown macroalgae comes from the Sargasso Sea, which was named because it hosts large amounts of Sargassum.[
I have no certainty that it would grow well in giant plastic bags, but.....
Quote:
Sustainable uses
Even though Sargassum influxes have already generated significant environmental and economic issues, researchers and industries are considering methods of converting this biomass to sustainable resources.[70] Sargassum is a rich source of carbohydrates, minerals, and bioactive compounds and it has been used as compost or organic fertilizer in the coastal communities, to reduce waste and increase soil productivity.[71][72]More recent research has also investigated the applications of Sargassum in bioremediation and carbon sequestration because it has a high carbon/nitrogen ratio and therefore could be used to take away contaminants and sequester atmospheric CO2.[73] Nonetheless, the presence of high salt and heavy metals in certain Sargassum biomass requires thorough processing prior to agricultural or industrial use.
Recent work has also examined Sargassum as a biosorbent for recovering rare earth elements (REEs). A 2025 study found that Sargassum filipendula efficiently adsorbs REEs across low to high concentrations, with fresh biomass performing especially well at environmentally relevant levels.[74] The species showed high capacities for heavy REEs, maintained effectiveness under high salinity and variable pH, and outperformed activated carbon. This suggests a scalable “algal mining” pathway that could help manage coastal Sargassum while supporting sustainable supplies of critical materials.
As an example, if you started with a saline body of water, you could put these floating islands on them. Consider the Salton Sea.
And don't get hung up on plastics and microplastics. That was just a ploy by the globalists who want to destroy industry so that they can employ you to shovel poo out of there pony barn on their nice green estates. Their game is to knock you down so that they can be above you and yet not ascend at all as people.
The Salton Sea is too salty for fish or will be soon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_Sea
https://saltonseaactioncommittee.org/faq/
Quote:
Approximately 55 parts per thousand
The Salton Sea is approximately 55 parts per thousand (PPT), making it significantly saltier than ocean water, which is about 35 PPT. The salinity of the Salton Sea increases every year due to evaporation and the inflow of approximately 4 million tons of salt annually. Currently, it is more than twice as salty as the Pacific Ocean.
saltonseaactioncommittee.org
+2
I recall reading at one time that in general salinity twice that of sea water is about the limit of what some fish can tolerate.
Here is a list of salt tolerant fishes which lived or might even still live in the Salton Sea: https://pondinformer.com/salton-sea-fish-species/
Water filled plastic bags or rigid structure might float on the Salton Sea, if filled with water that is less salty than that of the Salton Sea. So, they could be floats.
If a platform were put on top of that it might shelter the floats from UV light. On the platforms you might put solar panels. The resulting floating islands and the panels might follow the sun. While the floats might contain fresh water, water about the saltiness of sea water +/k-??? might support something like Sargasso Seaweed. I have no test data on that. I want to speculate on that because as it is an Algae, it might like microalgae be able to be sustained on Oxygen and Acetate, in the dark.

Artificial photosynthesis can produce food without sunshine
Scientists are developing artificial photosynthesis to help make food production more energy-efficient here on Earth, and one day possibly on Mars
Quote:
Experiments showed that a wide range of food-producing organisms can be grown in the dark directly on the acetate-rich electrolyzer output, including green algae, yeast, and fungal mycelium that produce mushrooms. Producing algae with this technology is approximately fourfold more energy efficient than growing it photosynthetically. Yeast production is about 18-fold more energy efficient than how it is typically cultivated using sugar extracted from corn.
So, it is my expectation that any surface of such a body of water covered by such a device should have minimum evaporation. So, more water should accumulate in the body of water, and the saltiness should be diluted.
IF you could grow a crop in the dark, using Acetate, and Oxygen, you may subject it to a process. You might ferment it to produce Methane, or you might subject it to Pyrolysis, to produce gasses and Carbon heavy solids.
The CO2 needed to make the Acetate might came from the brine of the lake or from the atmosphere. Some of the produced products, Methane, Carbon Solids, might be manufacture into higher quality Carbon products. Certain parts of the floating islands might in part be manufactured that way.
Here is a topic that deals with that: https://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=11299
The lake then could swell up to occupy its former shorelines, then covering the toxic dry lake bottom dusts.
https://www.inovynawards.com/ocean-sun- … -typhoons/
Image Quote: 
While you could have multiple rotator floating islands, you could fill in the gaps with non-rotating platforms between the rotators.
So, you might reduce the evaporation from the Salton Sea down to!% to 10% depending how you did it.
If the Salton Sea gets too high, you simply pump the excess salty water to another basin, and begin setting that one up the same way.
I think that you could bring fishing/fish back to the Salton Sea doing only some of this.
Actually, I think that if you could drop the evaporation down to 1% of normal you could just fill basins with rainwater in the Great Basin.
The heat of the sun and of the day would be rejected into the air and sky above the islands, but the solar panel structures might serve as radiators at night.
So, the water might not get too hot.
This process could pull Carbon out of the atmosphere, to regulate the climate which the Greens who want us to be poo shovelers are so worried about.

So, I am actually on shaky ground as concerns my assumptions "Planet Pass Spaceship". The idea as I see it is to launch from a "Host" world with easily obtained orbital resources and then pass a world which is located inner relative to the sun to the orbit of the "Host" world. Then it has to travel outward to intercept the "Host" world at a speed where it can be Ballistically Captured to the gravitational pocket of the "Host" world.
So in this a Spacecraft would have a "Host" world and a "Pass" world. Typically, mass would be accumulated to the Spaceship at the host world mostly. At the Pass world mass could be distributed as cargo to be captured to the "Pass" world or thrust exhaust. Much of the mass that might be accumulated from a "Pass" world would be humans. However, it might be possible for there to be mass transfers in flight where robotic ion propulsion devices may intercept the orbital path of the Spaceship.
When passing by the "Pass" world, gravitational alteration of orbit can be done and also possibly a Oberth Maneuver. In flight various methods could be used to modify orbit.
Many propulsion methods are available but those based on water are of significant interest. At Deimos/Phobos/Mars or Ceres, lots of water could be taken on board, if you had the tanks for it. It seems that it can be used in Ion propulsion, or you can split it and do immediate burns of Hydrogen and Oxygen, or stored burns of it. In flight the water is radiation protective and agricultural capable. And also, a potential source of Oxygen if you need to do that. Additional propulsion methods are steam and mass driver ejection methods.
For Deimos/Phobos/Mars, it is hopeful that propellant ships could lift Liquid Hydrogen from Mars and have that quickly bonded to Oxygen from Deimos and Phobos, to create water.
For Ceres, the gravity well is very shallow, and the amount of water is thought to be very large.
Calliban at some point, as I recall, was good enough to evaluate the question of if a Ballistic Capture could be done at Ceres. He indicated that he thought that it could be done. I expect that as for Mars you have to be traveling slow enough to be pulled into it's gravitational pocket. Its pocket is smaller relative to Mars I expect but I recall that it is large relative to the size of Ceres.
If Ceres might work, I wonder if other major asteroids might work? If so, then several bases in the asteroid belt might serve as "Host" worlds. That may facilitate the distribution of mineral extraction actions in the asteroid belt.

You guys just don't have the unification tools that the USA does. Even Canada does not have a sufficiency of tools yet.
You can look at is as crop rotation. The soil that grew what it grew from 1929 (Very Approximately) to 2008 (Very Approximately) does not have the nutrients left over to continue in that mode. So then plant something else.

I was surprised to find that someone has made an ion thruster that uses water for propellant mass, (It seems).
https://pale-blue.co.jp/news/946/
Quote:
Pale Blue confirmed the world’s first successful in-orbit operation of PBI, a water ion thruster optimized for small satellites. This marks the world’s first operation in space of an ion engine using water as the propellant. With a mass production system already in place, our proprietary PBI is now being delivered to partners worldwide.
【Key Features of PBI】
Superior Performance and Versatile Mission Capabilities:
Despite its compact, palm-sized 1U+ (approximately 10 cm cube) form factor, the thruster delivers a high total impulse*, contributing to various missions including orbit maintenance. The thruster can also be clusterized, enabling multiple units to work together to accommodate a wider range of spacecraft sizes and diverse mission requirements
I don't know if it can be sized up or what its power consumption is, but it is a good start that it works, it seems.
What I see for this an Deimos/Phobos/Mars, is that if you could get water from someplace in these three worlds of course that would be big.
But if not then you might get Hydrogen from Mars and then combine it with excess Oxgyen from Deimos or Phobos and have a propellant mass.
It would in effect shoot Oxygen along with some Hydrogen out as propellant mass.
It has a long way to go though, to be a major player.
Maybe it will get there.

I am speculating that a country like Australia might be able to make Carbon products from the air.
Perhaps that industry would only run during the day. I suppose they might source Carbon from Natural Gas, but maybe they don't have that much of Natural Gas.
If they could grow vegetation with sea water then they could apply pyrolysis to it to extract a Hydrated fuel and also Carbon. Again pyrolysis could be done during the day.
This could apply to various places in the world.
Obviously the value of Carbon products will matter.

OK, so I wonder if we could "Daisy-Chain" "Planet Pass Spaceship".
The feed points for one where it launches from being in Mars orbit and then passing Earth to return to Mars Orbit. (Using Ballistic Capture).
The feed points for another one where it launches from being in Ceres orbit and then passing Mars to return to Ceres Orbit. (Using Ballistic Capture).
Each ship as it passed its pass-by planet could release materials to be aero-braked to that world or it's orbits.
Mars/Phobos/Deimos has more Carbon nearer to microgravity than does Earth/Moon.
Ceres/Asteroid Belt has access to more Carbon than Mars/Phobos/Demos.
If you could achieve a Ballistic Capture to Ceres then you have a good position to access much of the Asteroid Belt which will have a lot of Carbon in it.
Of course, Carbon Transport might be done by different means such as Electric Rocket, or maybe a thin film of Carbon could sail around the solar system on Photons.
So then perhaps the value of everything might end up valued against Carbon, if it is to be as useful as it appears it might become.

So, this mimics a freshwater lens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_(hydrology)
Image Quote: 
Don Juan Pond suggests how salty the water could be outside of the fresh water lens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Juan_Pond
Image Quote: ![]()
Quote:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Don Juan PondDon Juan Pond is a small and very shallow hypersaline lake in the western end of Wright Valley (South Fork), Victoria Land, Antarctica, 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) west from Lake Vanda. It is wedged between the Asgard Range to the south and the Dais Range to the north. On the west end is a small tributary[not verified in body] and a rock glacier.
With a salinity level of 45.8%, Don Juan Pond is the saltiest of the Antarctic lakes.[1][2] This salinity causes significant freezing-point depression, allowing the pond to remain liquid even at temperatures as low as −50 °C (−58 °F).
Don Juan Pond was discovered in 1961. It was named for two helicopter pilots, Lt. Don Roe and Lt. John Hickey, who piloted the helicopter involved with the first field party investigating the pond.[2]
The water is probably too salty for most or any life. The cold temperatures are too cold also for life, It looks like.
The fresh water however or less salty water of the Lens is likely to be able to host life.
The "Boat" that would hold the "Lens" could perhaps be made of plastic. Generally, it would be out of the sunlight, and plastics seem to be tolerant of salts.
I have suggested a bamboo deck as I presume it is cheap to produce, but it could be something else. I also think that under the deck might be a vapor barrier to oppose evaporation of water from the lens.
Filling most of the surface of a body of water like the Salton Sea or the Dead Sea, the evaporation rate should be reduced. So the body of water might swell up and become less salty.
A salty body of water in the Great Basin, if it could cut its evaporation rate by 90%, might be fillable from natural rainfall.
But you might need covered canals to route occasional rainwater into the body of water.
IF 5% or 10% of the basin water is exposed, you could still have beaches and spaces for boats to travel between the islands. It might be sensible to divert some of the Colorado River Water to fill such basins.
"Crops" could be grown in the "Lens" water, perhaps using small amounts of light and also chemicals such as Acetate and Oxygen.

So, if a "Planet Pass Spaceship" were used, it would probably have synthetic gravity available in some of it's parts. And means to produce food, air, and to recycle water. The device might be in parts that are not connected to each other during most of the flight. Perhaps connected when departing Mars orbit and when doing a pass of the Earth.
I think that if the parts could not be manufactured in the Deimos/Phobos/Mars system, then they could be created in the Earth/Moon system and filled with water. Then a Nuclear Fission Tug with a relatively small tank of Hydrogen could consume the water in the containers in order to push the devices to a Ballistic Capture into the Mars orbits. The Nuclear Fission Tug could then bring the assembly down in orbit to be at a orbit that suits setting the parts up as a "Panet Pass Spaceship" Resources from Deimos/Phobos/Mars might be used as well.
A "Panet Pass Spaceship" could be temporarily used as a Cycling Spaceship if desired, but of course then restocking it with resources becomes much more difficult.
IF a "Planet Pass Spaceship" could be refitted at Mars, it might do a swing-by of Earth and then (I hope), be able to do a Ballistic Capture to Ceres or even Jupiter.
It would be easier to set Ceres up as a refitting location as its raw materials are plentiful and the gravity low, in some ways easier than Deimos/Phobos/Mars.
But Deimos/Phobos/Mars almost certainly will come first.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Energy and water joined with machinery is the path to wealth in the case of Deimos/Phobos/Mars.
There are a lot of wild cards in the area of Energy for Mars, but for Water I think we understand where the major deposits are.
-Fusion is possible for Mars but is not yet a real thing for needed energy. Even so it might be that Fusion in microgravity may work better than on the surface of Mars.
-Nuclear Fission is possible, but for a time the fuels likely have to come from Earth.
-Solar, more in the orbits of Deimos and less elsewhere, seems like a good path as well.
Power in those orbits could be beamed down to locations of important ice masses.
Machines would then use the water and power to produce wealth for the locals, I presume.
This is likely compatible with the technologies that seem to be proposed for the Earth/Moon in the coming times, it looks like.

I have posted #251, #252, #253 today. Now in this post I return to somethings I have worked on before.
Mars orbits should have many propulsive methods available.
Alice for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALICE_%28propellant%29
You could probably get Oxygen from Deimos and Phobos, Hydrogen from Mars and Aluminum again from Deimos and Phobos.
CO/O2 rocket engines are a possibility, Carbon and Oxygen may be available from Deimos and Phobos and is available from Mars.
Mass Drivers that shoot out Ice/Iron Bullets might be a way. Water Ice or Dry ice. Iron would be fine dust. Everything for this could come from Deimos and Phobos, and maybe Hydrogen, but Hydrogen could come from Mars.
Ending Pending ![]()
In posts #251 and #252 "Planet Pass Spaceship" is suggested where it might be boosted out of Mars orbit using a Nuclear Thermal Booster which I hope could use Hydrated Water as a propellant. That is water that has Hydrogen dissolved into it or small Hydrogen bubbles put into it to form a temporary slurry of water with Hydrogen bubbles.
I think that might work.
While there is hope that Deimos or Phobos may have water ice in them many people do not think it does. Even if it does that might be hard to access.
I suggested that water could be brought up from Mars. But in reality, you could bring Hydrogen up and combine it quickly with Oxygen from Oxides in the regolith of Deimos and Phobos.
So, actually not only is the problem of brining water up from Mars easier by math than to bring it up from Earth, but for Deimos/Phobos/Mars, the bulk of mass for water is already in orbit of Mars in Deimos and Phobos.
Using water in a Nuclear Thermal Booster, is convenience as it can be stored in depots with little danger of boil-off. A Nuclear Thermal Booster then filled with water then just bring a small tank of Hydrogen up from Mars and load that on and the Nuclear Thermal Booster would be primed.
I expect that the Nuclear Thermal Booster pushing the "Planet Pass Spaceship" to an escape speed to depart Mars orbit would disconnect and then thrust to be retained in Mars orbit.
Then it might be brought back to a refilling orbit by some means, most practical, and rinse and repeat.

Continuing with the "Panet Pass Spaceship" from the last post:
The concept of a Nuclear Thermal Booster to boost the "Planet Pass Spaceship" to pass by Earth.
Hydrogen Propellant is the best, but hard to source and hard to store. Water as a propellant with Nuclear is said to be about as good as combustion rockets.
So for Mars lifting water to Orbit from Mars might work well for the Nuclear Thermal Booster method.
Now want if we could do both?
What if you had a small tank of Liquid Hydrogen and a large tank of Water? You could feed the Hydrogen into the water as a gas, perhaps dissolved into high pressure water, and possibly as Aerated bubbles.
A Booster could be tanks up with large amounts of water when in orbit of Mars. Then a last load could be a small tank of Liquid Hydrogen.
"Hydrated Water" as in input to Nuclear Thermal propulsion might be rather better than just water. The Hydrogen would push the expansion very nicely, but the water has much more mass than Hydrogen does.
Such Nuclear Boosters could be pushed to Mars from Earth/Moon, just one time loaded with water and Hydrogen, perhaps from Earth.

My view is that the Nuclear Thermal Booster will remain in orbit of Mars after boosting the "Panet Pass Spaceship" on its pass by Earth. Then to be reused. There could be many "Planet Pass Spaceship".

Surprisingly good information, I feel.

I have experimented with the idea of a "Semi-Cycler" before. Got a lot of flak for it. So, I will rename it a "Planet Pass Spaceship".
It seems that focus in space will involve:
1) Earth/Moon
2) Deimos/Phobos/Mars
The difference between #1 and #2 is #1 will have the best space infrastructure early on, and #2 will have the bast access to raw materials.
It is easier to lift materials from Mars itself than from Earth, if you had equivalent infrastructure. Also, it is easier to extract materials from Deimos and Phobos than to extract materials from the Earth's Moon.
So, if you would have a "Large Spaceship" my feeling is that you can have a ship that stope in Mars orbits and launches from it. And when it would launch, it might do a fast pass of Earth obtaining gravity power from the encounter then go back to Mars. The reason I think that passing Earth makes sense is that since the Earth/Moon will have the better infrastructure, they could maintain, better fast shuttle services that could bring people back and fourth from the Earth/Moon<>"Panet Pass Spaceship". So, half of this is like a Cycling Spaceship at (Earth/Moon) and half like a normal spaceship (At Deimos/Phobos/Mars).
This device could do another gravity trick at Mars which is a Ballistic Capture. In order for people to be protected from space hazards, a "Panet Pass Spaceship" will be heavy with life support extravagance.

How It Works
Trajectory Design: The spacecraft is launched on a trajectory that intersects the orbital path of the target body. As it approaches, the spacecraft's velocity is carefully managed so that it can be captured by the target's gravity.
Gravitational Forces: Once the spacecraft reaches the vicinity of the target, it relies on the natural gravitational forces of the planet or moon to slow down and enter orbit. This process often requires only minor adjustments using low-power thrusters for fine-tuning the orbit.

Advantages of Ballistic Capture
Fuel Efficiency: Unlike traditional methods, such as Hohmann transfers, which require significant fuel burns to slow down and enter orbit, ballistic capture can achieve similar results with minimal fuel usage.
2
Cost-Effectiveness: By reducing the amount of fuel needed, missions utilizing ballistic capture can lower overall costs and complexity, making it an attractive option for space agencies.

Historical Context and Applications
First Use: The first successful application of ballistic capture was by the Japanese spacecraft Hiten in 1991, which used this method to reach the Moon.
2
Subsequent Missions: NASA's GRAIL mission in 2011 and ESA's SMART-1 mission in 2004 also employed ballistic capture techniques, demonstrating its effectiveness for lunar missions.

Conclusion
Ballistic capture represents a significant advancement in spacecraft trajectory design, allowing for efficient and cost-effective missions to various celestial bodies. Its reliance on gravitational forces rather than fuel makes it a compelling choice for future space exploration endeavors.Wikipedia

Ballistic capture is a low energy method for a spacecraft to achieve an orbit around a distant planet or moon with
So, this ship is launched from a Mars orbit after being resupplied and refurbished in Mars orbit, using materials from the 3 worlds, Deimos/Phobos/Mars.
Launching methods could be various. Raptors-Metha Lox, Nuclear-Hydrogen, Other. Probably as a booster system that does not leave Mars orbit.
On board could be various types of propulsions. Perhaps Nuclear-Electric, or chemical or maybe Oxygen Mass Driver.
Two gravity maneuvers could be used. The Earth-Pass could modify the orbit to return to Mars.
And at Mars you would use Ballistic Capture to return into Mars orbit. To do that you also have to at least have some electric thrust to stay in orbit of Mars.
Mars could supply water or Hydrogen for Nuclear thermal propulsions. Deimos and Phobos can supply stony materials which contain solid substances and Oxygen. The two moons may supply Carbon. If not then that can be gotten from Mars itself.
There may be water ice in one or both of the two moons. There is massive amounts of water ice on Mars Itself.
This large-scale spaceship will not need a heat shield method to go into Mars orbit and will be able to reuse some of the original energy of launch from Mars orbit to swing past the Earth/Moon and return to Mras orbit. Also, can harvest gravity at both major planets.
Also the swing past Earth/Moon could use an Oberth Maneuver is desired: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberth_effect
The Earth/Moon system may have good infrastructure to provide rescue for fast shuttles that do not make it properly to the "Panet Pass Spaceship".
It might be possible that a Venus or Mercury pass could be used instead of or in conjunction with an Earth/Moon pass.
