https://www.alanarnette.com/everest/everestfaq.php Q: How long does it take to climb Everest? And why so long?A: The entire climb takes six to nine weeks. The first week is used to arrive at base camp with a trek from Lukla for the south or a drive from Katmandu or Lhasa on the north. Next you spend three to four weeks going up and down the mountain to establish camps with food, fuel and oxygen. The average time from arriving at Base Camp to reaching the summit is 40 days. On most climbs it is the Sherpas who are doing the heavy carrying so you are acclimatizing your body to the high altitude. However you are still carrying a 20lb to 30lb pack with personal gear. The acclimatization process cannot be rushed. The summit push is about one week and then another 4 to 6 days to get home. I.e. 40 days from the camp to the summit + 7 days to dance around + 4..6 days back, so 50+ days including the return. The Hohmann trasfer to Mars takes about 240 days, five times longer. The whole expedition is about 1 000 days long. And while the climbers have a rest after the return, eat fresh food, have a spa, and so on, the Martians just start hardly working on arrival. Someone tells, it's very bad for it, especially at high altitude. https://sport--marafon-ru.translate.goog/article/alpinizm/o-pitanii-i-vodno-solevom-rezhime-dlya-alpinistov-i-gornykh-turistov/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru And btw, yes, the fats require a lot of oxygen, which they lack especially there. The Sherpa have acclimatized been sorted out for generations, it's like compare the diet of the Far North people to the European diet. A European hardly can live long on pure meat and fat and consume a rotten seal corpse hidden especially for this under stones, while the Far North can't digest the amount of bread, fruits, and sugar which the European is used to. So, unless you are a Sherpa, don't cosplay the Sherpa. A several-week long army marine push is also not a proper example, exactly because they don't eat the pure fat daily, and don't climb Everest.) (A side note. Probably, the mountain summits should shine yellow, and it's scary to imagine what will happen once they melt... So, not in the case of space transfer. They should be as strong as possible on descending, because they have to cosplay the dwarves with pickaxes soon after.

To provide as effective thrust as hydrogen, the photon should probably be of the nucleon Comton wavelength, ~10-15 m. Probably, only a mini-blackhole can accelerate the photons provide photons of such wavelength. And as the blackhole should be enough light to carry it onboard (say, a charged blackhole in a static electric field), its lifespan would be extremely short. So, it actually the blackhole should be generated on every ignition. Thus, the most handy kind of the blackhole is probably a kugelblitz. And as the kugelblitz is electrically neutral, it can't be held at all. It should appear and immediately evaporate, turning into ultra-high-energy photons. And as we can only make the kugelblitz be rotating and manage the energy distribution only equatorially, the practically usable kugelblitz explosion can be only spherical. As the kugelblitz explosion is spherical, it will hit any chamber walls radially and damage them. Thus, the kugelblitz should be generated and exploded behind the ship and push it forwards. Kugelblitz Orion. In turn, the kugelblitz in this case can be made rotating, but not around the ship axis, but perpendicularly. So, the ship is in its equatorial plane, and more energetical photons generated by the kugelblitz explosion are in this plane, too. This helps to redistribute the energy and momentum to reduce the sideways loss. As the kugelblitz is rotating perpendicularly to the ship axis, the photon pushes will be rotating the ship., To avoid this, a pair of counter-rotating kugelblitzen should be used. Probably the kugelblitzen should be not just counter-rotating, but maybe also synchronized to send the photons in counterphase. To smoothen the energy distribution, the pair of kugelblitzen should be replaced with any even number of them, uniformly distributed around the axis. The pusher plate should be replaced with a cloud of charged dust in magnetic field. Thus we come to the ultimate solution - the Mutiblitz Orion. Actually, just the Kugelblitz Orion, but with multiple ephemerical kugelblitzen.

Star Dash Effect On The View Scteen... Realistic Or Not?

They last for several days, so the raw calories are pretty much enough. While the Martian flight lasts for at least eight months (if have a food store delivered by a robot), and three years (if bring the food onboard). As the food store may appear to be unavailable for technical reasons, actually they must have a three-year amount of food onboard in any case. A human requires 0.8 kg of solid food per day. 0.8 * 365 * 3 = 1 t per human for all Martian flight. So, there is no need in changing their diet beyond the obvious zero-g and low-UV requirements. That's why trolls like cheesy food.

https://www.rfidtires.com/how-many-cars-world.html#:~:text=Presently%2C there are 1.42 billion,reached 1 billion in 2009. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_supply_and_consumption The amounts are rounded and given in million tonnes of oil equivalent per year (1 Mtoe = 11.63 TWh, 1 TWh = 109 kWh). The data[2] are of 2018. Largest PE producers (90%) (Russia excluded in Europe) Total Coal Oil & Gas Nuclear Renewable World 14420 3890 7850 707 1972 China 2560 1860 325 77 300 United States 2170 369 1400 219 180 Middle East 2040 1 2030 2 4 Russia 1484 240 1165 54 25 Africa 1169 157 611 3 397 Europe 1111 171 398 244 296 India 574 289 67 10 208 Canada 529 31 422 26 50 Indonesia 451 288 102 0 61 Australia 412 287 115 0 9 Brazil 296 2 160 4 129 Kazakhstan 178 49 128 0 1 Mexico 159 7 132 4 16 https://www.motorbiscuit.com/how-many-kilowatt-hours-does-electric-car-use/ An electric car spends ~30 kWh/100 km. https://www.kbb.com/car-advice/average-miles-driven-per-year/#:~:text=Federal Highway Administration data from 2019 indicates motorists in the,of 39 miles per day. *********** 39 mi * 1.609 km/mi / 100 km * 30 kWh ~= 19 kWh (electric) / (car * day). 19 * 1.42 * 109 * 365 ~= 1013 kWh = 10 000 TWh (electric)/yr for all the carkind. Let the electric/heat power ratio be ~1:3. So, the cars spend ~30 000 kWh (heat) / yr 30 000 / 11.63 ~= 2 600 Mtoe / yr. And as a car can't be equipped by the industrial carbon dioxide filters, unlike the powerplants and industrial plants can, so it turns the cars into the main source of atmospheric pollution in foresseable future, making their electrification inevitable. Another advantage of the electrocars is that they are omnivorous. They can be powered from any source of energy, blue, green or maroon. Diversity, flexibility. And the electricity can be easily redistributed from the regions with excessive power to the regions which lack it, naking the whole system more flexible. Also the electric cars are much more AI-controllable in wide sense, and this allows to exclude the greedy and silly human element from the decisions. So, it's not a question if to kill the combustion engines on cars. *** They are controlled by greedy people who don't care if the power is green or not. Once the green power gets cheaper and more profitabler, they will easily become green proponents for money. So, no problem with the sharks of the capitalism. Also, "requires more money" = "allows to get more contracts, funds, and preferences and to sell goods for additional money". "Green jobs" correlate to "no jobs", as the greendustry requires much less people by default, so turns them from "working" into "unemployed but occupied by anything to keep them entertained and controllable". This means both "personal yoga trainer", "dental hygiene specialist", "pet stylist" vacancies and as well the "universal basic income", like in the good Ancient Roman times. The beefarms should turn into beefabrics and start growing the "cultured meat", it's both meat and vegetarian. Thus, the humanity will become totally vegan but meat-eating, but the cattle will be not required anymore and disappear. *** the livestock will be murdered on the Earth, and only their milled corpses will fly to Mars. The oil contains only fat, and the crew will die before reaching the Mars. The food should contain proteins, contained in grain, potatoes, fruits, and meat, and vitamines contained in them also. So, the food won't differ. We should remember that in the human history the mostly vegetarian and fish-eating equatorial peoples usually not felt very good being assaulted by the European expansion focused on meat eating. Also, the knights and peasants had different diets, the pure bread eating never was as good as meat predating. And historically the human species is an omnivorous predator. So, the meat is required. Just it can be grown from cells, which utilize the available resources and energy more effective than the cows do, as they don't need horns, tails, and hair. *** Totally thanks for having a lot of energy and industry which allow to meliorate the wasteland, and for having just ~400 Mhumans per continent. In the hot equatorial countries they festival of life is limited by the available water amount (of the whole continent, not in the nearest river) and the exponential growth of energy required for the ocean water freshening and the wastes utilization. Not that directly "us", but directly "them" who produce the cheap goods for "us", then indirectly "us" by the need of producing cheap goods for cheap salary (or to automate as much as possible, and see above the unemploymeny and basic income). We could grow algae to feed the unicellular cattle to grow the cultured beef and pork. Eating corn directly poorly provides the organism with everything required, unless the organism is expendable (peasants) or philosophically gifted (famous vegan thinkers). That's obvious. It's also for lunch and dinner/supper. Looking at the energy production, the Green Energy jobs are just a good way to utilize the excessive labour force before it starts rioting, and to advertise buying goods that are not actually necessary (making to replace the car after 5 years instead of 10). +1

Yes, because you need a wormhole. What if the space wormhole is actually a snailshell?
