  1. I'd like a prequel showing the Beginning of the Ares program, all the way to the Ares 3 launch.
  2. What if there's floating lifeforms of hydrogen 'powered' jellyfish type life in the upper atmosphere of Venus? It's reliant on CO2, and Sulfuric Acid, like we are to water and Oxygen and uses hydrogen from water vapor (Which is supposed to be in the upper atmosphere of Venus) to float/propel itself. Btw, by 'Upper atmosphere' I mean 40-60 km high.
  3. Um... We have three of these now, and they were all posted in I think a week.
  4. I think it's worth it, but instead of embedding solar cells into the road, how about you build a canopy of solar panels above the road? Where you not only have plenty of power for both lights and digital speed limit signs, but also for extra power for the city or town that the road is near.
  5. Kerbin is flat! The Sun isn't really far away, it's circling Kerbin 100 km up, and it's only 1 km wide!!
  6. 10/10, We had a little discussion on one of my posts.
  7. We'll open up a dimension to the Kerbals, which I wouldn't mind, they could take us to the Stars
  8. Looks excellent I'd give you rep, but I ran out.
  9. Click on your name on the top right, then go to account settings, finally, 'Signature' will be on the far right
  10. How do you get videos to show up so you can watch it on the thread without having to leave it? I've been able to do a few times, but every time I try to replicate it on my same post, it won't work.
  11. Actually, a special type of 'road' is needed because it uses superconductors and magnets to work. But lets get back on track now.
  12. I didn't add the Moon, because I read somewhere that it would be unstable due to Earths gravity, and the motion of the Moon, do you have counter arguments?
  13. You did read the 'etc' part, right, just assume that it is realistic, (Also, any technology that is more than a decade away, is usually called 'Sci-fi', just go with it). Now, I'm going to answer your previous criticisms, just because: True, but this is a thought experiment, just imagine the Ceres elevator is a stepping stone to Earth/Mars Elevators. Again, true, but a Space Elevator can have its advantages, such as being able to send stuff into space as soon as you can put it on the Elevator. Fully reusable rockets have to wait several hours at best, weeks at most until they can re-launch depending on the damage it takes, plus the amount of propellant burned is arguably almost as bad(Or worse) as running a few dozen Volkswagens at once for awhile, and it's also expensive, explosive, and heavy.
  14. I'm pretty sure he meant how wide they would be (i.e. Would they look like Saturn's?), Although the OP author can correct me.
  15. Now, I'm just throwing this out there now, this is only a discussion of where we will build the first Space Elevator, and why, I don't want to see any comments of how far into the future this will be, etc, alright? For the other Space Elevator discussion on the Sci/Space thread (Which is the only one I know of), here's a link: Why are Space Elevators not a horrible idea, as bad as gunpowder cannons to space? So lets begin I think the first Space Elevator will be built around Ceres, because it has weak gravity, no atmosphere, and it would be a great way of shipping resources from a mining outpost to the Earth, (Maybe the Moon) and Mars.
