Emperor of the Titan Squid

what is this actually called?

I repeat, think Fuller, as in Bucky, as in Dymaxion.

This would be in 2040. Think about the materials we would have.

Think Fuller.

When i said Venus misson i meant orbital, with a short surface excursion. By shor i mean like, an hour, to test a knew lander.

By Titan, i mean from Titan. what about this is impossible, apart from the Venus thing?

The moon has a name. Selene.

Great idea. Good point there. How about materials research, asteroid and lunar mining, making room for an expanding population, uniting the world, and space-based solar power for a reason. STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP. Be optimistic. What is wrong with my vision? Let Werhner von Braun motivate you a bit.

Sorry, got mixed up. stuff on top was supposed to be underneath. I am talking Falcon X as in fan art.

Falcon X is a proposed spaceX vehicle, good point, and that collaboration is what i mean by politically impossible.Their would be cubesats orbiting saturn. i know that none would fund this, but it is supposed to be a collaboration between all nations, however impossible it is.we could use aces for lunar missions. SLS won't be cancelled, ISEV will reuse orion tech. We will have Venus tech in 2040.(maybe)Thanks on the DreamChaser part, i didnt know. America will make a comeback, and the people of the world will unite to make the human race better, and expand to the stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mostly a joke.Would be nice , though.

I , for some reasson think that the scientist is Omega 77, but that makes NO SENSE

This is my idea for a space exploration road map. Not all of it is politically plausible. 2016: Orion program replaced with with the integrated space exploration vehicle, or ISEV program, which utilizes orion and a privately developed DragonRider with Orion life support and a service module in addition to a trunk. DreamChaser selected for ISS crew delivery, in addition to other spacecraft. BEAM on station, with good results. Bigelow begins developing a module to fit the dragon trunk. 2017: Commercial crew delivery begins. Exploration sats deployed. 2018: Insight launch, SLS test flight to the moon, Falcon heavy test flight, ExoMars launch, dragonlab in service, Nauka delivered. Mars cubsats delivered. OSIRIS REX mission. JWST. 2019: Falcon 9R flight. 2020: ARM vehicle launched. Bigelow station alpha on orbit. 2020 rover. 2021: em1, Taingong 3 construction. 2022: Lunar orbit station begins construction to support future moon bases and deep space missions. Probe to Apophis. Mars exploration landers/ rovers.Luanar base tests asteroid equipment. 2023: Europa clipper launch, Jupiter cubesat network, includes lander cubes. 2024: deep space mission from lunar station, flies to asteroid.Phobos satellites.Saturn titan submarine. 2025: SpaceX starts work on Falcon X. ULA starts work on Vulcan, ACES and ZEUS. 2026:Skylon test flight, Deep space mission.BA2100 launch. Shackleton crater outpost construction begins. 2027: Falcon X launch. NTR MTV construction begins. Taigong 3 finished. 2028: Deep space mission. Skylon comes into service. 2029: Phobos hab launched, supplies launched. 2030: ISS decommissioned. Skylon begins space station construction, International and corporate collaboration allow a 2nd MTV, with a centrifuge, to be built. 2031: Phobos mission. 2032:Moon base is enlarged. 2033:Mars supply run, Falcon X heavy, falcon XX in service, Phobos return. 2034: MTV 2 finished. 2035: MTV Embarks on mars excursion. Humanity becomes an interplanetary civilization! 2036: Venus landers sent. 2037: 2nd mars mission launched. Previous one returns. 2038: Space exploration becomes a huge business. Preparations are made for venus mission. 2039: Mars missions launch and return. 2040: Venus mission. 2041: mars outpost established, MCT Constructed. 2042: SpaceX begins mars colony construction. 2050:FUSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2055: Space Elevator. I will be adding details and more events later, but for now, what do you think?

You should make Dr. von kerman a bigger part of the story.

I say that we take it apart, land some parts on earth, use others to make a space station in lunar orbit. Once the lunar station is obsolete, we bring it home.

Lets not let any of these things happen.

I agree, but that will result in global climate change, and nobody will realize that they are about to be : Hit by and asteroid. Have their solar system cleared out of the way by Vogans to make a highway.

Have they cancelled sundancer? i wish they would do some of the things they say they will.

So, my idea is that rockets are used for sending air mail, and, how about the space race starts early, someone beats the americans to the moon, and the americans arso stubborn that they try to beat another country somewhere farther out in space.

I feel sorry for Wehrner.

Theirs does have propulsive landing, and i don't get their plan either.

What has happened in all those years between the last chapter and this one? anyone on duna?

I wish there wer a way to turn funds into science.

I don't understand how anything beyond LEO is possible, but i say think big, go to Titan, anything is possible! So have we decided on what to do and where to go? How is moss related in any way to ksp? are we going to send a picture of Jeb?

It says Juno will land on Jupiter. They need to start calling it DragonRider again instead of Dragon V2.

I have an idea. If the SERV is needed on ground, dragon is operated independently. If not, dragon stays with serv.I suggest compatibility with dreamchaser.
