For Terraformer re #25

Thanks for this addition to your forum CV!

You had come across to me as in your 70's.

I hope there are others currently active in the forum who can participate in settlement of Mars.

I understand your focus is on Ceres, and I now understand that ambition is not as idle as I had (mistakenly) assumed.

You can make a major contribution to building the support system you will need to set up shop on Ceres 50 years from now (give or take), by helping the Mars Settlement initiative.

You have already proven able to recruit new members to this forum.

Can you (will you) help RobertDyck with his requisition for an experienced chef for his Large ship project?

You are the only young person active in the group. Everyone else is either retired or in the late stages of a productive career.

It's debatable how "productive" my career has been. I feel I'm still waiting for my life to begin. My hair is grey and falling out, and my life still hasn't begun.

For RobertDyck re #27

There are three "ages" (remembering from long ago lectures) ...

There is physical age, to which you have made reference. Everyone is (somewhat equitably) subject to that process.

There is mental age, and in your creativity you come across to me as in your early 20's.

There is emotional age, and your even temperament comes across to me as about 35 ...

Your physical age is likely to catch you before the others, so I am looking forward to a number of years of your steady leadership in this forum.

Food researchers in Denmark have found a base for making cheese from yellow peas. As it is rich in protein and can be grown in Europe, it could be a promising alternative to dairy products.

Hello! Good day! My last activity was in October 2018. Now, I'm coming back for this forum!

Welcome back Jayson!

Please take a look at My Hacienda!

We have yet to secure a commitment by anyone to build a plot.

What I'm hoping you will discover is an existing plot concept you'd be willing to adopt for development.

The overall concept is to bring together 7800 people willing to think about what it would take to assemble the talents and capabilities that will be needed to establish and maintain a 1st Tier civilization on Mars.

The Plotmaster may be found here:

Sorghum-Based Power Generation in Southern Ukraine: Energy and Environmental Assessment
https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0472/12/12/2148

It can be used for both biofuel production and power generation. However, there is a lack of methodology for energy and environmental assessments of sorghum-based power generation. Some possible technologies were analyzed. The novelty of this study is the accounting of energy consumed and carbon dioxide emissions during crop cultivation. We have determined that sorghum-based power plants can generate from 2 to 12 MWh per hectare. Their operation significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions (from 613 to 3652 kg of carbon dioxide per hectare of sorghum silage cultivation). Sorghum-based biogas plants have energy and environmental advantages if they use co-generation technologies and utilize digestate as a biofertilizer. The utilization of digestate (obtained from silage production per hectare) substitutes up to 12.8 MWh of indirect energy. The results obtained can be used by farmers and authorities for bioenergy development.
