In a century we'll have nanobots, making self sufficeincy trivial. For the near future, we do have 3-d printers, and increasingly intelligent robots. They should do an experiment in Antartica maybe.

Hmm... I wonder what could be a large cargo ship Thats why you need a huge initial colony: self-sufficeintcy.

Why wouldn't it work? Whether P2P will actually happen due to regulations is up for debate, but they are planning on doing some hopping test missions. People will want to move there. If you build it, they will come. Actually, we have. For 20 years. As I have stated nearly every page, cosmonauts have had the same radiation dose, with no consequences. Also, the BFR has a radiation shelter. And, radiation on Mars is a non isssue due to regolith. Just put a foot of regolith over your habitat.

What the actual heck? What does an elevator acomplish? On one hand, you get artifical gravity for 5 seconds, on the other hand, you are slammed against the wall every 5 seconds.

You can get into the Kraken category. only destruction by rapid collisions
-
He confirmed that.

The context was that is something you could build with a superheavy launcher like the BFR.

This:

It will take a lot shorter. China wants to do the same, and NASA will not let China get ahead of them.

Unless your in The Expanse. Then you get your head blown off by a railgun. I like how they correctly depicted a hole into space as not sucking all air out immediatitly. @nyrath said the airflow rate was correct.

Also, how light would a helicarrier have to be to work?

Combine this with BFR. Nuclear SSTO plane. It could launch 20 of them, fully fueled, at once! What would happen if one of the BFR's engines was replaced with a NERVA?
-
Actually, when it isn't carrying payload, the second stage is an SSTO! Whoa! I never heard of that! If NASA has that, why aren't they using it for stuff?
-
They can launch a hundred at once. Also, can the satelites be named after characters in Tintin?
-
40 cabins. You could cram 4 people in each for a short hopper flight, so 160 people.
-
WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT! Even NASA reuses the MTV every mission. Also, do they really think building a station nowadays, with FH and BA and all, will cos the same amount as ISS?

What? Even NASA predicts a price of 200 billion, and Mars Society, Planetary SOciety, and SpaceX all predict 40 billion at most. There is no way a MArs mission could cost that amount of money. That would be 750 SLS launches!

Things that NASA never said at a press conference.
DAL59 replied to FlamedSteak's topic in Forum Games!
And liftoff... as you can see, the thrust to weight ratio is currently less than 1, so we will wait a minute or two for the rocket to get light enough to take off. It will totally still have enough delta-vee. -
As soon as you leave the SOI, you'd just fall straight into the sun.
-
Wait... if they can fish them out of the water, do they really need the net? I know there's corrosion, but the fairings would be in the water for only a few minutes, right?

Sorry My spellcheck doesn't work on the forums for some reason...
