    He is currently building them. He plans to launch them by the end of next year. This is not another FH. Agreed. He has a facility large enoguh to build it in, has tested the fuel tank, and has done super sonic retropropulsion. Even if the life support is less than that on the ISS, it has such a high capacity it can carry extra. Unless he decides to go to the moon instead or something, I'm 100% sure we'll be on Mars before 2030.

    Since it was clogging up the spacex discussion, you can talk about starlink here!

    The sun has an atmosphere in ksp. Just saying.

    Were you expecting otherwise? In Star Wars, battle could have gone so much better if the x-wings turned off their engines, flipped around, and flew backwards. Or they should have rear mounted weapons.

    @SQUAD can make their own recording: they don't need a band or anything, they could do an electronic version to give it a ksp twist.

    You don't have to do that if you have centifuges in space. Plenty of raw materials form phobos to build a station.

    Have some centrifuge cities. You can have tilted rings that spin to combine local and centrifugal gravity. They would be much more costly than normal stationary habitats, but they might be nessasary for pregnancy and infants.

    Until you go 50 km up!

    You can actually see it in day time if you squint. 12,000 satellites... that sounds bad for kessler sydrome. Actually, they are in very low orbit, so they would decay in a few months if they broke. How long is their lifetime(before they run out of manuevering fuel and decay)? Will they use ion engines like has been proposed for the ISS ?

    Thats 2000 Falcon 9 launches... where did he get 120 billion dollars?

    They have 1000s of kilometers per second of dV. They can just go to their next desination slightly slower. If you have a station in low orbit of Tylo, and you blow it up, half of it will hit the ground, and half will go to a higher orbit.

    Wait, what? How are they going to launch 12,000 satelites if they only do two at a time?
  17. DAL59
    I'm going to test. Do not open this spoiler if you are on mobile! No, there's no limit.

    How many users with more than 50 posts have visited within the last year? Where is @Red Iron Crown

    The BFR will be able to launch 30 foot wide radio satelites...

    You don't have to estimate. Dv=9.8 * isp * ln(drymass/wetmass)

    You have enough Delta-vee. Go for it! Do you have a detachable lander? (And if you get stranded, thats a good plot point.(Or you could get someone else to rescue you.))

    Very low orbits, ping would be low. Also, https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieDetails/comments/7xi4ta/in_iron_man_2_tony_and_pepper_speak_with_elon_musk/

    This is kind of like the enders shadow premise: a global alliance breaks up, but space stations shoot down all missiles.
