Is it possible to reverse ionize something? I mean in the rocketry context, I know you can add an electron. My design require them to not have electrons. I’m trying to make these fuel spontaneously react like a hypergolic fuel. If the plasma jet leaves the nozzle normally at such high temperatures, I read somewhere that it could be about 1,000,000. (I think it was the the VASMIR article ) Why not harness that waste heat in a combustion chamber. Yes I know it will melt... Very quickly, that being said things can be done to fix this such as pulsing the engine or using the fuels to cool it down, Etc. Sorry I have not gotten a chance to read that yet sorry I’m sure it relates based off of the skimming I did of it but I need to in-depth more.

Should/Could We Build Real Battlestars
Cheif Operations Director replied to BobbyKadmon's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I think the shear scale of such a project would be preposterous. Look at the cost to build an SLS. Now imagine this. Any resources you bring back to earth would cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars per kilogram. Not going to happen any time soon- 29 replies

What exactly do you mean by two devices? I mean I need to get data from sensors and I need to send commands to servo motors and pyros. -

Cheif Operations Director replied to Cheif Operations Director's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Ok, I am looking into it BUT this is my first time importing a library or something so how do I do that? I was more interested in taking the robotics servo control code and applying it to the rocket parts -

Does anyone know of any additions to python, or modules that can be used for robotics? Also how to use these new additions? If not how hard is it to code my own module that can interface with a robot. My old python thread is still alive but I wanted to focus on the topic with this thread.

Rosatom rocket engine failure

Sure if the Russian government says that the sky is blue fine. But Russia has a long history of covering up nuclear disasters -

I mean It is not fair to say that not believing the Russian Government is conspiracy behavior. What may come out of that belief may be but not that in itself -

Well I guess you make a good point with the link -
You make very good points. I was not thinking something on the scale of the SSME. I was thinking something more on the scale of an RCS thruster to a Goddard sized liquid rocket engine. Then it would actual have more an effect. I’m trying to take the fact that these gases are ionized to my advantage. Since they will chemically react easier when they are not balanced, why not add in a chemical reaction to the process? Instead of having or plasma thrust have two. Then have them meet in a combustion chamber. This would take the extra heat and pressure of these small streams of ionized gases to even more advantage. Is is it possible to “reverse ionize something” (in this context) for similar thrust. Instead of striping electrons giving them?

The game and kennedy -
That did occur to me at least in principle, but it is still cool think that you could theoretically hear a high school football game from 1950s that pretty much every would have forgotten now, I mean the players would be about 80-90 years old. In. a few hundred years with a large enough dish you could still hear it. That is just cool. We could watch TV shows etc,

Sure but make sure the boxes do not interfere with the the mod boxes, also replacing that space with some orbital info or perhaps how long it will take your orbit to decay etc might be cool, Perhaps a science collected or craft in your sphere of influence so you can find abort to orbit locations better. Just as much info as possible BUT allow it to be minimized,
