Effect of Streptomyces sp. Isolated from mineral cultures on radish plant development in analog martian soil: Soil was collected around the MDRS location to use it for radish crops. The strain used at the inoculation was isolated from mineral cultures, which are also an extreme environment. The main objective is to prove the effect of this strain in crops in martian analog soil. The main goal of this research was unachieved, but soil samples will be taken to Lima (Peru) for further experiments. Resistance of Peruvian Altiplano’s crops to martian analog soil: Soils with different compositions where collected on the surroundings of MDRS and on the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation in order to prove the resistance of Peruvian crops and mustard (as control) to mars analog soil. The main goal of the project wasn’t achieved, mostly because an incident during #7 EVA. However, the research will continue on Lima (Peru) using the martian analog soil and two more altiplano’s seeds. Incidence of consumption of kiwicha cookies in the loss of muscle mass that people living in the analog of Mars experiment: I prepared cookies of kiwicha on Peru, kiwicha is an andin grain that has enormous amounts of protein. Because of this characteristic of the kiwicha grain, my cookies have 10% of protein per portion. During the time that I spend in the rotation, I had to take notes of the mass muscle index. So, I gave the cookies to half of the crew, two units per day. Also, every 4 days I took notes of their weight. With this data, I am going to compare the data of the crew member that ate the cookies and the ones that do not ate the kiwicha cookies. Properties and Composition of Mars Analog Regolith at MDRS: Regolith samples were collected from different areas within the MDRS area. The study focuses specifically on the Morrison geologic formation. The majority of the samples are from the brushy basin member of this formation. The goal of the project is to classify the soil properties including: soil texture, classification, and composition. The project will continue during the next week. Sustainability in Mars research stations and extraplanetary settlements: This research searches to answer the question: The Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) operation can be more sustainable? It is evaluated how environmental, economic, social and personal sustainability issues are presented in the research station and how the MDRS activities would collaborate to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), proposing some guidelines to sustainability. It is also important to ask: the results related to Mars would be applied to build a self-sustainable habitat in Earth, mainly in areas affected by climate change, as deserts and semiarid regions as can be seen in Brazilian Northeast (Habitat Marte)? Reviewing the previous research done at MDRS not was identified any research related to sustainability. Because of that, this research presented a high impact to MDRS and Mars research. It is a challenger identifies the main dimensions that would be considered to evaluates a Mars research station in terms of sustainability: this is the great relevance of this research for the future design of Mars settlements.

No. No. That has been done before by @Matt Lowne. That's what the no docking rule means. Every part must land on Tylo.

How about an asteroid is going to hit Earth in 1969 and USSR and USA have to cooperate to divert it? (And the first attempt at diverting fails, but moves the impact site from Russia to US, threatening the alliance.)

@EvermoreAlpaca, we are going to add MOAR boosters!

With that many asteroids, you're probably going to find a class e on a collision course and have to build up your program pretty fast to stop it...

It runs on methane, which isn't that hard to obtain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Boeing_V-22_Osprey#Specifications_.28MV-22B.29 It could carry 6 of them.

What I did was preposition a MAV(inline cabin, mk1 pod, a fl800 tank and an aerospike). Then I launched vehicle two, which was a MK3 pod with 3 mk1 liquid fuel tanks behind it, and 6 more sets of 3 tanks radially around it. It had one nuclear engine and a hitchhiker module. Docked to it was a MDV. The only mod I used was for the MDV engine, though a terrier might have worked just as well. Plenty of spare dv. I needed up having to hop to the MAV. MAV ascent. I had to EVA in the upper atmosphere to remove the landing legs(konstruction)

Here's an idea: Launch several into orbit, dock together to fill the troop carrier up, then land it with fuel to spare.

True. It could also deploy a couple thousand drones...

They simulate that by waiting in the airlock to pretend their decompressing. suitports

Uninterceptable instant delivery anywhere that doesn't even need a runway?

This trains people on procedures, and how much time they will spend on various activities.

Could a sufficiently powerful magnet attract the iron in your blood?

I really don't see why they would destroy the ISS. Recycling the modules or giving them to the russians is arguably fine, but how could literally burning 100 billion dollars ever be a good idea????

I never said you need to do that. You can just build blimps in the upper atmosphere. No need for gigantic pyramids.

Yes, but they don't really have enough option, unless the Dreamchaser is cheaper.

Actually, the point of the ITS is to not do that.
