Re: Housekeeping

Keeping with topic discipline Please alter post 9 & 10 in topic Where Mars Field of Dreams meets Capitalism to not reflect Calliban's Brick Dome on Mars as this is not about that. I understand that you are replying to my post # 9 which is making mars earth to which your reply posts have for both 9 & 10 have errors with in them. I also did not give a corrected height of a shell as I wanted to prove something which was not being grasped...which is resource can only go so far before we are moving materials to mars from other locations.

I would make copies of the 9 - 17 should be copied to Calliban's Brick Dome on Mars as that's what they directly apply to.

Re: Housekeeping

For SpaceNut .... Thanks for your good points about the posts...

You put a post into that topic about the volume Mars air would have if it were compressed to 1/2 bar.

I decided to find out what the volume would be if we used just nitrogen as the limiting component from Mars air, and it turned out that we can host about 500 million people without needing to import any nitrogen.

The idea of containing the air in Calliban's Domes is a logical extension of the basic idea. 

You are welcome to move the posts to wherever you think they are a better fit.  The question I am dealing with is how capitalism answers the questions of habitat creation better than government programs.

However, I am trying to stay out of the forum except for the calendar topic.

I just couldn't resist the opportunity you provided with your joke about the small volume of Mars air if compressed to 1/2 bar.

It was truly astonishing to me to learn that there is enough Nitrogen to support about 500 million people.

Re: Housekeeping

It was a sarcastic post that some want earth on mars with the actual number is less than 300m high and it is not a logical extension as that is an entirely different design problem as its fully limited to a geometry shape.


when corrected for electrolysis of 6(c02) = 6(co)+ 3(o2)
The co can not be put through the same process to get the extra oxygen.
electrolysis does not super heat co to make carbon fall out as that is a molten carbon
process is the same as water 4(h20) = 2(2ho) + o2 process which applies voltage to plates not just temperature.

Stop trying to hijack the topic...

Re: Housekeeping

For SpaceNut re Post #4153

The topic title is: Where Mars Field of Dreams meets Capitalism

As you pointed out yourself, the post that caught my attention was sarcasm.

Sarcasm is a negative form of humor.

The entire topic appears to be an attempt to cast negative views, and Copilot thwarts the attempt at every turn.

Co-Pilot is relentlessly optimistic, and despite every attempt on your part to cast doubt and fear into the conversation, CoPilot comes back with an optimistic explanation of how capitalism can indeed succeed where government will fail.

Your complaint that I am hyjacking your negative view with an optimistic one is valid.  Negative, destructive posts are not helpful.

Readers are not inspired to achieve when they are fed a diet of negative, destructive posts.

Fortunately CoPilot does not play that game, and the contributions of CoPilot are often quite interesting.

If you find yourself about to post something negative or destructive, please think about what effect it might have on the reader.

Will the reader turn away from NewMars.com/forums because a Senior Admin is posting destructive negative views?

What purpose is served by posting negative, destructive views?

Does it make anyone happier?

Why do readers visit this forum?

Is there any reader on Earth who comes to a forum so they can fill up their cup of sorrow for the day?

Upon reflection, I have to admit there appear to be entire web sites dedicated to negative views that are quite successful. Perhaps there ** are ** readers who ** want ** to read a steady diet of posts about failure and misery. There is a German term: Schadenfreude. Perhaps that explains the success of such web sites.

Re: Housekeeping

but you used narrow reading of the post, which you still are not grasping.... topic now has an more fleshed out response in it to what that simple lines contained.

So do you really think your posts still deserve to be in a topic that was never it?

As you see my sarcasms was a test to see how well others read visually and both copilot and others failed to interpret the words into a 3d view of what they really means until it got a term it could connect to what was said.

That 1 word created the 3d version of what was said.

I was not negative but pragmatic to the optimism of what we can really do on a budget not only of cash, mass but with man hours to perform the task in a realistic means with the available or sent equipment for executing of the plan to build.
