I think it only applies within our solar system. And no planets (unless you claim before the object is reclassified as a planet.)
The normal temp. of air.
Okay then, people believe someone has claimed the moon, as they buy land off him [the claimnent.] I could assembale a fleet of ships and take it buy force, then it would be mine. Wars will be fought over property.
No oxygen.
Gas giants atmospheres are made of nearly all Hydrogen and Helium.
Would it be possible on the outer planets to use water vapour instead of Nitrogen for the bulk of the atmosphere? That would eliminate the problem of finding nitrogen and it would heat the planets surface to (hopefully) the level where the Water Vapor wouldn't turn back into ice.
All the asteroids have been claimed already.
By who?
They'll be dead before we get to them.
Me and other people. And I intend to get to them in two decades at the most. The moon has already been claimed,
The X-15 touched space. I know that had a carrier ship as well, but that was in the 60s. High altitude fighters reach the edge, I think. I got the idea after reading the "How much would it cost to build a Mercury Spacecraft today" thread. The craft would be a small water droplet shape (to minimize needed heat sheilding) with a rocket in the back with a parachute as well. Wings would be teloscopic and retract back into the sides during re-entry. After the risky part of re-entry (the friction) was over, the wings would shoot out and the craft would glide back to Earth. Fuel would only be used on launch and in space. If it was launched from a helium balloon it would cut costs further. A massive flight computer would not be neccesary. Most of the calculations could be done on Earth. The ship would just be a small cockpit with a computer with the rest of the space taken up with Oxygen and Fuel.
I accept CO2 causes global warming. But only on places like Venus with 89 bars of the stuff.
Accelerating near the speed of light does do away with the aging problem.
Maybe a load of O'Neill habitats as payloads if you want to live in a nebula. And a shipyard. Plus some way of extracting O2, metal, H, and all the other stuff you need from the nebula.
Does the shuttle fuel tank actually have to be ejected foff the shuttle, or could it be carried into orbit?
Right, own up, who said I should be in a mental asylum. And please can you explain why it wouldn't work.
I think an interstellar trip for Humans would be a once in a lifetime event, unless the human lifespan is significantly expanded.
How about magmnetic rail gums? If we could use them to accelerate to 0.9c and use plama sails to slow down it would take less than five years to reach Alpha Proxima. Return journeys would be possible.
I thought it was Ceres that had the most water ice in the solar system.
Hello, all the asteroids have been claimed. Anyone there?
Just use it as a base for then.
All these people saying that humanity was seeded by aliens don't seem to get it. Maybe haumans are the ones supposed to seed alien life throughout the universe. Maybe that's humanities purpose of existence.
Neptune and Uranus aren't 0.16 light years away. If you use acceleration gravity style stop travel it won't take you that long to get there.
Triton should be terraformed first. Then it can be used as a base to terraform Neptune.
How much would it cost to build a one seater space fighter that could land, refuel, take off again, orbit the planet, scout asteroids... stuff like that, using off the shelf components. SpaceShipOne cost $25,000,000 to develop, but that includes design and testing. Is anyone trying to do this apart from governments and buisnesses? Why hasn't anyone done it yet? Contact me a ceres777@hotmail.co.uk if you'll help set something up. It can't be that expensive.
Was it by Ray Kurzweil?
Except the volotiles are needed for other terraforming projects. CO2 from venus and Mars + H from neptune gives us C, H2O, and O2. Carbon could be used for spacecraft, water and oxygen, they're needed just to survive. Everythings there, it's just in the wrong place. Helium can just be used for airships for planetary travel. Get terraforming and you solve loads of problems. And we'll grow in experience that could be useful for other things.
All the asteroids have been claimed already.
I think the colonists who stake a hold should demonstrate their ability to hold it. If they can't then it reverts back to unclaimed land.
I think people would notice the shipments of CO2 from venus that would be heading towards the terraforming project. It seems to me like we'll have to teraform Mars, Venus, Neptune, Ceres, Pluto, any object, in tandem. We ahve the Carbon, we have the Oxygen, we certainly have the Hydrogen, all the materials are there. We have a huge fusion reactor right in the middle for energy, we just need the will power. The only planets to leave alone are Jupiter and Saturn for huge antimatter production facilities.
If your fuel supply could last for a week you could get to Mars like that. Then to Jupiter. Then stop. Then to Saturn. And so on and on.
And it would orbit Sol.
