  1. That looks like the sail is sailing to Epsilon Eridani.
  2. One of the better variants of Orion had an ISP of ~13,000 seconds, so looking at the Medusa (Which is more efficient), I'd say between 33,000 seconds Dry mass: 10,000 tonnes, Wet mass (bombs): 20,500 tonnes.
  3. I think most are lowish, since they can't get a whole lot of mass due to being small.
  4. @Bill Phil The amount of bombs I'll need to get to 8% the Speed of light (And slow down), here are the Spacecraft's specs: The spacecraft is 1.2 km long, The Bomb container is a cylinder 250 meters long, The bombs are about 15 centimeters long, and weigh 140 kg (Like the original design during Project Orion), The sail is 350 meters wide and about 60 meters deep.
  5. Yeah... 9 hours isn't exactly soon, but better late than never Persephone Mass 10x Earth | Radii 36207 km | Temp -264 c | Day/Night cycle 18.3 days | .31 g | Albedo .42 | Materials, Water 27.5%, Hydrogen 72.5% | Europa Mass .65x Moon | Radii 1561 km | Temp -265 c | Day/Night cycle 3.55 Days | .134 g | Albedo .64 | Materials, Iron 50.2%, Silicate 34.8%, Water 15% | (Forgot the Organics, but there wouldn't really be that much anyway) Minmus Mass 0.00051x Moon | 198 km | Temp -269 c | Day/Night cycle 22.6 hours | 0.0065 g | Albedo .96 (Default) | Materials, Iron 10% Silicate 90% | Also @ChrisSpace, I think we should be discussing Nibriu soon, as I'm almost finished with the Solar system.
  6. No, I mean visible light green stars

  8. If you look at the link in the OP, My thread got closed because it WAS Interplanetary Politics. Do you have a better name?
  9. So, some of you may know that I tried to make a Interplanetary politics, thread... That didn't do very well, so lets not re-create it So this is the setting, it's 500 years into the future, and humanity has colonized Lagrange point floating colonies, the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Ceres, Callisto, Ganymede, and Titan. We also have the ability of getting to Titan in 5 weeks. So, what relations would an interplanetary civilization have (Other than politics, religion ((Probably won's come up)) or Ideology)? What would mining routes look like? What would colony routes look like (People going to colonize other solar system bodies)? What would communication look like? What would tourism look like? And what would Earth be like?
  10. So, I was a few miles away from the launchpad on Thursday at 4:46-8, and my mom turned on her smartphone to listen to the livestream... Suddenly, I heard they scrubbed the launch. As you know, at the 1:40 mark She jinked it! Good luck to SpaceX on Sunday though, I probably won't be able to make it however
  11. So what are all the types of exotic life possible? And how crazy can they get?
  12. Behold, the maiden flight of MOAR BOOSTERS (Demo) 28 total SRBS 5 stages Tiny reaction wheel barely able to turn the spacecraft
