Spaceception

I like it, it's like a combination of the Saturn and Shuttle, and because it uses tech from both, I feel it fits.

Known for being active in The lounge, and for thinking about writing a novel.

Hello, The Rapping Sandpaper, how're you?

I'm just going to leave this here...

I have 2 more, but I need to work on them way more before I put them here (All novel ideas posted here will eventually be written) one is an Alien invasion story, but it feels too much like ID and Ender's game had a baby, and I don't know how I'll write a novel 10s of trillions of years into the future when the universe is dying. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

He has motivation.

Conditions on GJ 876 b1: GJ 876 b1 is a Mars sized moon orbiting the gas giant every 1.8 days, it has cool temperatures of 6.3 Celsius, large oceans, and a dense atmosphere, despite it being slightly smaller than Mars, its gravity is a bit stronger due to a larger Iron core, because of this lager Iron core, it also has a weak magnetic field, this, along with the Gas giants magnetic field, is the reason it has a dense atmosphere, and hence, life. Life on this Moon is primarily found in the seas, there is land life, but because the system is younger than the solar system, the Moons like hasn't evolved as far, primitive fish roam the seas, and small amphibians, and insects roam the surface. Because the life on this Moon is still young, O2 levels aren't as high (6 percent) and CO2 levels are lethal (18 percent), partially to keep the Moon warm, but also because the life on this Moon hasn't turned a lot of CO2 into O2 yet. Ice caps on this world are massive, and almost stretch to the equator, with shallow oceans on top. The atmosphere is partially hazy, with dense clouds, and an reddish brown sky, the Gas giant looks light blue, and takes up an enormous patch of the sky, sometimes keeping the planet well lit in the dark. Snowfall is common across the Moon, and a small sliver on the equator is the only place where it doesn't snow often, Volcanoes, and mountains, which are all across the Moons surface, would tower over Everest, and several canyons which are filled with water, are much deeper than the Grand canyon.

Conditions on Proxima b. Prox b is a tidally locked planet with small oceans in the south pole, southern hemisphere, and equator/northern hemisphere, its magnetic field is much stronger than Earths, (Prox b would receive 400x more Xrays than Earth due to he nature of Proxima Centauri) Its native life is colored very dark red at the brighter points in which plant life could thrive, and black around the terminator, the atmosphere is *just* breathable for humans, but O2 levels are too low (10%), There's a decent amount of Argon in the atmosphere, and it's about 6% denser than Earths atmosphere. The gravity is 13% higher than Earths, which means someone who weighed 100 lbs on Earth, would weigh 113 pounds on Prox b, the higher gravity is due to the higher mass (1.28x the mass of Earth) and higher density from the larger Iron core, which helps with its powerful magnetic field. The planet is mostly a desert, with sparse forests and small seas, on the far night side on the opposite side of the planet where Proxima Centauri is forever directly above your head, there's a small ice cap with an ocean underneath, and an ocean surrounding it (The reason being, The atmosphere is dense enough, and the dayside temperature is warm enough, that energy from the dayside travels to the nightside and warms the ice, geothermal energy also helps to keep it thawed, due to the cold air from the the nightside, and warm air from the dayside, there's a large hurricane in the southern hemisphere that's over 800km wide, and receives constant energy), it has a large biosphere of marine life, that during a stellar flare, can make the ocean glow. The ocean also has many small islands which never see daylight, and large stretches of land leading to the day side, there's only several plant species that thrive on the shores of the dark ocean, and a couple species of heavily furred mammals that thrive on the plants, they can't go to the dayside due to the extensive amount of fur on their bodies. GJ 876 b1 coming soon

New Shepherd is pathetically tiny compared to New Glenn.

You'd be able to colonize the Moon with a couple launches of Armstrong, I mean... Holy crap. Not only that, but massive space hotels with Glenn! Quote from a comment on one of these articles: New Shepard (Alan Shepard, suborbital) New Glenn (John Glenn, orbital) New Armstrong (Amazon moon base confirmed?!?)

Legend: WIP: Writing in progress. DS: developing story, WBWS: will be writing soon. WBWFW: Won't be writing for a while. VED: Very early development Infinitum: Well, it's in my sig, so just go there. WIP The Children between worlds: It's also in my sig. WIP. Genesis Plot: Mars is being colonized, with Terraforming in the works, but after a cave expedition, life, biologically similar to Earth life is found... Yet the life is older by hundreds of millions of years, trashing everything we thought we knew about the origins of life on Earth. Back on Earth, special interest groups are calling for the colonists to abandon the Terraforming, and to an extreme extent, to return the colonists to Earth, and stop the colonization of Mars entirely. In an interplanetary argument that may decide the future of humanity on Mars, and perhaps, the native life on Mars as well, who will prevail? DS: WBWFW. The Time Sleeper: In the year 2051, Prof. Collins, a brilliant physicist and engineer builds a Cyropod that allows him to stay in stasis for a hundred years without aging. After boosting into orbit, he steps inside, and locks himself away for a century, where he wakes up in 2152. Expecting fame and glory when he wakes, he is shocked to find out humanity has nearly wiped itself out. Desperate for supplies, he lands on the surface, and finds himself a prized slave to ruthless dictators who are willing to kill anyone without remorse. With no way of traveling in the past, and the remnants of humanity on the edge of another war, which could wipe them out for good, he must rise a rebellion against them. Or risk nuclear annihilation. WBWS DS The light side of the Moon Plot: What if Kennedy survived being shot in 1963? Before J.F.K. was assassinated, he proposed doing a joint US Soviet Moon landing, what if it happened? Unfortunately, because the Soviet prime minister didn't trust the new President Johnson, the plan never got off the ground, but how would the world have changed if Soviets and Americans shook hands on the Moon together? WBWFW VED The legend of Acworth Very basic plot (Since this is based off a video game idea I had a few years back): A warlock is out for vengeance after his bother is accused of witchcraft, and burned at the stake to protect him, but he was innocent. So the warlock goes on a mission to end the witch trails, and make the people who killed his brother pay for what they did. WBWFW VED I'll post more ideas here as I get them, there's a few more, but I don't have time to put them here What do you guys think?

Does that mean the planets possible mass assuming an Earth like composition, would be less than 2 Earth masses?

Ticket pls.

Well, I can't wait for Arrival. Interstellar and The Martian are my favorite.

You will be missed, live long and prosper Kasper.

Well said.

I've watched people play it. The first couple times it was creepy, now I only like it for the lore.

Take your time to do it right

I like your location

Dang, 43 minutes? Thanks btw @Andem

Where did Proxima b come from? https://palereddot.org/proxima-b-where-did-it-come-from/

Was the satellite destroyed?

The outline is done, and it's looking pretty good so far Haven't written anything yet however, need moar research.

6/10, don't really get the date, but like the text.

NO!!!!!! I'm dead!
