  1. @Nertea Hey, I just wanted to ask, because I don't know what page you address this in, but are those white tanks redesigned ones? Becasue they're awesome looking
  2. Yep, they're like just about impossible Unless we create some wonder material that could withstand the heat. And for at least my first mod, I'll only be making 1 version of the Epstein drive.
  3. Ooooooh, I really want the Epstein drive too. I dunno if it'll be big enough to recreate the Donnager, but it'd be one hell of a ship.
  4. Didn't show up in the search, can you @ them please?
  5. Also, I don't have blender, and I don't know how to export textures, or really anything, so any and all tips would be welcome
  6. I kinda want to make it at some point, any tips on how to create part based mods? http://expanse.wikia.com/wiki/Rocinante
  7. I have a friggin amazing idea for a fleet of Orion spacecraft to Poxima b.

      hope that's not the case. 

      Anyway, now that I have time,  here's the (Very basic) mission outline.

      Now keep in mind, this is hypothetical, and I'm imagining a global catastrophe happening. 

      The launch complex is in northwestern Canada, at least 300 km away from civilization, where super Orions hundreds of meters fall, and dozens of meters wide are built,  with thousands of nuked around a kiloton.

      26 are built, each with an initial crew of 200, and max crew of 10k, making  5200 total crew members.

      Once each one is built, each Orion would be launched once a week to give time to get the Orions ready for departure, after a year, they're all in orbit and ready to fly, they use about half of the nukes to get to .05c, and take a ~86 year journey to Proxina b.

      Each Orion is within 10k kilometers from each other, for both safety and cast communication,  no Orion is more than 1 light second away from another.

      Each Orion has a massive gravity ring that gets put out when the nukes aren't firing that provides a half-g, with life support and farms in micro-g in the center, as well as several radiation proof rooms for when they're going off, the control decks take up one of those areas

      Each Orion is fitted with 30 shuttle's and 2 tugs, 10 shuttle's are used for cargo, the rest, for crew.  The tugs have NTR engines, and are used for collecting volatile for robotic space mining operations,  while some crew stay in space to break the Orions down for space stations and raw materials 

      When the Orions get into orbit around Proxina b, they form a circle and are connected via orbital struts from the pusher plates that are no longer being used. 

      After scanning the surface for a viable landing location, most of the 780 shuttle's go down to the surface over a few months with the rest staying in space until the remaining crew members are ready to go down over the course of several years

      Also, I'm on mobile so sorry for any errors.

      That's a pretty good outline, Spaceception.

      Also, don't worry @ProtoJeb21, I'm with you on LHS 1140b being habitable. :)

      @ProtoJeb21 I just got a tweet from Prof. Mendez, he said it'll be up soon, they were waiting for changes :)

      Also, rhe front of it is a large curved cone, where life spport, rad-proof rooms, and ship controls are at. 

      Then, it's the gravity ring, a huge inflatable ring 100 meters wide, just for crew. 

      After that, it's the cargo bay/shuttle dock.

      Then the reactor,  finally, the nukes and pulse plate.

  8. There's a 'in a nutshell' video that briefly goes over this, but I'm on mobile right now. It came out today.
  9. Today was supposed to be a good day, full of Star Wars memes and jokes but politics ruined it.

    Seriously, why didn't they just improve on what they had instead of replacing it with crap?

    Not naming names or anything, this is just, ugh.

  10. Revised Chapter 1! Tell me what you think Oh! And may the forth be with you!
  11. A full satellite network by 2024? Coincidence? I think not! They want a network up for the Mars colonists! I guess that gives another incentive for going to another planet for those who want to go, but still want to look at cat pics, you still receive internet
  12. yeah yeah, no updates. Anyway, almost 66k words written. Working on Chapter 18 I'm most likely going to merge Chapters 1 and 2, starting out with a space riot, and ending in a space battle. And only eight chapters after that. With any luck, I'll be finished with the first draft before the end of the month, I almost have a novel here!
  13. Oooooh, they have a website, it isn't much, but it's here: https://www.neuralink.com/
  14. That not only is a good idea, but it sounds sick, white looks sleek, but can you imagine a black first stage powering through the air? I'd rep you, but... limits Oh hey, they can merge the other intact one they recovered It was intact, right?
  15. Those camera shots tho. I hope they do that with future missions. And I wonder what argument the flat earthers will make this time.
  16. UPDATE: Turns out 'quadiliogy' is the wrong term, it's actually 'tetralogy', and that's what it'll be. Anyway, I'll begin writing this again sometime in early May Don't worry, this series is still alive, and I'm really pumped to get to the sequels eventually.
