Shower thoughts

Just thought.

Orion (the true, atomic one) is perfectly shaped to make office stamps, bottle openers, nut crackers, reception bells, and other things which you put on something and press the top with hand.

And btw, about the Orion biomechanoids.


Let's imagine an infusoria which extretes the wastes in bubbles. 

Let the bubble have a weak spot from the infusoria direction. And let the bubble pop after being extreted.

Then the bubble will send a jet of wastes into the infusoria rear end, 

The infusoria receives the kick with an organic pusher plate on this end, and gets propelled.

Repeating these shots one by one, it will fly through the hydrospace like Orion.


On the other hand, if this infusoria extretes the same waste without bubbles, just like a weaker jet, it becomes a normal rocket with low-thrust rocket mode.


But how to separate the high-thrust orion and low-thrust rocket modes?

It's simple. When the infusoria feels high internal pressure, it forms a slime bubble. When the pressure is weak, it doesn't.

So, by adjusting efforts, the infusoria can switch between the cruise and planetary propulsion modes.

(Probably, the easiest way is to have some gas-producing food stored separately. When the infusoria need the Orion mode, it starts consuming it. In planetary mode it doesn't.)


Now, with this knowledge and conceptual design, the microbiologically skilled forum members can develop a bimodal Orion infusoric hydrospace tug to move various microobjects.

They can grow hydrospaceports, produce ISRU various kinds of fuel, and watch in microscope a real hydrospace civilisation.

People of the large modern country, living in wooden houses, say that Hiroshima was overdamaged just because, unlike the modern cities, was built of wooden houses...

In South Africa, everything was built of red brick, because they had tons of clay and no wood. The apartment complex I lived in actually paved their driveways with red brick. So my girlfriend was very wary of moving to the United States, where the houses were all wood frame. At one point she asks me, "So, in America, do you tell your children the story of The Three Little Pigs?" "Yeah." "How do you explain to them that you all live in houses made of sticks?"

What if banana peels actually taste good but we've never tried one so we never found out?

There's so many things like this. Like, you wonder who was the first guy to look at olives and say, "Man, these things are nasty. But maybe if I soak them in brine for a couple of days they'll be alright?"

With a Direct Ascent lunar mission, such as the one for Apollo, the crew would most probably be in an upward-facing cone-shaped re-entry capsule. Since on such a shape it is difficult to look downwards through windows, would it actually make sense to hold the hatch open during landing and have a crew member literally stick their head out of it to see the ground? Air resistance certainly won't be a problem on the Moon.

They can use mirrors or a periscope.
And actually they don't have a lot to look at below when they are landing on a flat and clean ground, and abort landing if miss it instead of trying to be the first for any price, like Apollo-11 did
(Actually the unnecessary landing on the rocks was what a pilot should be dismissed for, because it's an informed violence of flight rules, creating a premise for flight incident).

The direct ascent LK-700 (and LEM-like LK) were to be landed after a Lunokhod had landed on that place, visually studied the landing zone (under the Earth remote control), using the Lunokhod and its landing platform as landing radiobeacons.
So the LK-700 pilots (lying with faces upwards) should be holding a cross on the mark on the radar display and watch the altimeter.

The LM computer was what guided them there

Doesn't matter, it's just a tool.

The air...less...craft commander should abort landing and follow the backup route, i.e. back to orbit.

It would become just an unplanned repeat of Apollo-10 mission, and then Apollo-12 would be first landed.
No difference for mankind, but a giant deal for a man.

Failing the first lunar landing would have DESTROYED NASA'S PR

Yes, even further. What about it?

Apollo-11 aborted = Apollo-10bis, Apollo-12 first landed.

Apollo-11 crashed = many PR and organisation problems.

The pilot was hired to follow the flight plan, including the emergency options which included the abort modes.
The pilot neither was hired to be the first on the Moon, nor owned the craft himself.

That's an egoistic heroism.

The atmosphere is made up of seventy-eight percent nitrogen, right? When you breathe it in, what happens with it? Does it just circulate through your lungs and breathed back out, or is something done with it?

You breathe it back out without using it.
