You are amazing.. great parts.

is looking good nertea.. good work.. I dint understand some things.. You are making this version a bit more procedural to save parts menu and memory? What about the intakes, rsc, aero cone or none? it will be possible to config those extentions as we do with the fuels? It will be compatible with FAR?

Earth= 1016 milibars Mars= 6 milibars Hyperloop= 1 milibar Which compared with earth, both are like almost vacuum, so you will not need the air tight tubes in mars, just the magnetic structure. But well, of course mars has other problems and it does not have much point in this discussion. Here there is a video explaining in more detail how "might work" (the propulsion design is not final yet) It will depend on how cheap this track may be builded and how much people transport compared to a normal train by unit of time.

Why you will need an almost vacuum circuit if in mars you already have that almost vacuum.. is silly.

Thanks Yeah I like it

Sabatier is important, because you can transport H2 from earth which weight almost nothing, and get the co2 from mars/venus atmosphere. From the co2 you get also oxygen, and you need only provide h2, with a fuel mass gain of 20:1

I read all the new data added in the first page. I really like how you solve the problem of fractioning and gather resources from atmosphere or soil. It has a lot of sense and save you a lot of code instead representing the resources as substances. Is perfect. If you have 2% of water vapor, 50% co2, and 44% nitrogen, and lets said you want to extract the water... I imagine it will consume more time to get 1 kg of water than 1 kg of co2? Always consuming the same amount of energy by unit of time.. I like very much the graphics from the components Dr. Jet, I am just a bit concern about the final memory and processing requirements for the whole mod.

I dont understand the 4 knocking sounds after the main sound..

That is not the end of the story... we are not talking about just GR or Quamtum gravity ignoring some laws of quamtum theory.. The only thing we know is that we have a lot of different theories making very different predictions compared to their counterparts. For one side you have the firewall paradox which it said that if you fall into a black hole you will literally hit this horizon wall. Then we have theories which talks about new universes inside the black hole "insert here big bang, white holes and wormholes", then we have theories that prohibits the black hole formation for interstellar masses due hawking radiation. Then we have string theory with its multiple dimensions and some math tools as the holographic universe. All these theories, from the math point of view.. are all correct (for now), so what is wrong then? the conclusions? the math? the hypothesis? So the only conclusion is that there is something wrong with our know physsics in the black hole frame. We need a new physsics or someone needs to provide extra evidence to point that his/her theory is the correct.

The "heavy" word does not have much meaning from the black hole perspective, if you dont know for sure if the BH inside is included in this universe or how the BH inside structure looks like. Is heavy from our point of view.. But for us is just a mistery object with a horizon radius, we can just speculate (or education guest) on its properties beyond that horizon.

The answer is easy, nobody knows for sure yet. We do not have tools (math, strong theories or experiments) to know exactly what happens inside a black hole.

This will be usefull for everybody in the world, being rich, average or poor. If you are poor and you have some earning besides food, your logic options are very limited... what you will get? better furnitude or cloth, a camera, a computer, a stereo, or a good bed? no... You will buy a smartphone with internet, the other possibility is drugs. Those are the only options who can distract you from the reality, of course drugs are not a good option, but the smartphone it is.. You can access to all the world information with that. But well I will like to know with more precision the amount of clients that oneweb or spacex constellation will be able to support.

oneweb said it will be 6mbytes by second at 18ghz, lets take the half of that.. that is still enoght for HD streaming. The spacex constelation will have 4000 sats with higher broadband at 24ghz. You know how much investment you need to do to carry internet by fiberoptics to each house? You need dig and make a subterraneal hole where you already have pavement, streets or other types of pipes to dodge. You know how much cost build and mantain all that? And this system has a huge advantage.. You just paid 1 system, and you have internet no matter where you go.. you dont need to use a different service plans for your smartphone which it becomes a lot more expensive if you leave your country or in some cases, just the city. If you have internet, you can talk with everyone in everywhere. That is why all companies are rushing to achieve this. Because there is a lot of money behind it.. this is not a niche.. I will said that our currents internet services are niches compared to this. After all, Elon musk plains to fund his mars dream with this.

nice to hear that, I like these models very much (with the exception of the ring gravity radius, is too small, unless is used just for sleep and not to walk or exercise) so not sure how do you plan to improve all this? Any image spoilers or extra details about this new mod?

In your link it said: "Do water changes as needed" [some soils often require frequent water changes the first two months to remove miscellaneous toxins] So is not self sustaint. There are not fish either, although not sure if is a topic requirement.

Nobody knows the mass of the satellites yet, now I read and is estimate between 100kg to 500kg... tthey are lighter than I thought, but of course you choose 100kg.. You need to carry proppelent to adjust the orbit of each satellite, this adds more mass, so more proppelent. Sure it will be xenon for ion engines, but it will need solar panels and a mother structure to deploy them. That mother structure needs to burn in earth atmosphere when is done, all satellites will need also some kind of deorbit system to not contribute to the space junk problem, maybe an electrodynamic tether.. Lets estimate that each satellite mass is 250 + 50kg (this includes all mentioned), so 300kg by satellite. If they recover the first stage, they will be able to launch aproximate 7 tons to 1100 km orbit, which gives us 20 sats by launch. This will require close to 200 launch in 3 or 4 years plus all other commercial launch they adquire. Even if is less, they will need to launch at least 50 by year... And you always said that demand will not increase.. Only 1 year past from we started this discussion, and all the evidence points that my predictions were correct (in just 1 year). About how much commercial application for space appeared this year.. well you can count this one.. the sat factory is already develope in seattle. But only 1 year pass and launch cost dint decrease so much.. So imagine what would happen with higher launch cost reductions.

eaten by any kind of animals. I would not be very tasty, but I will help them to survive.

I already answer this.. maybe they can launch 5 or few more in each launch, but you will still have for sure more than 500 launches. It does not matter how much people fail trying to being original, what it matters is how much new usefull apps appear each year. False.. You really need a new kind of computer to run a different software or different devices? Also if everyone launchs satellites all the time, it will be more easy to find common parts. Because if you do not use the best of the best, you are wasting money. Because you need to be sure that the satellite will work by at least 10 years and it will be still usefull (speed), that requires the best materials, the best hardware, the best tests, costly operation (because it will be old stuff with the time) But if you can launch a satellite that will last only 4 years, then the radiactive requirements or hardware speed or everything; it will be a lot more cheaper. In case it fails, you can rebuild the sat and launched just in 15 days. Not years like it will take today. They dont.. You have launch list delay with at least 2 years of preparation and launch cost who cost millons. Time is money.

I dint read this before... But my answer stay the same.. In theory... you can imagine a perfect cycle, in practice at that size... is almost impossible. (I am talking long time >1 year)

more big your tank is, more easy is to self-sustain.. But at that scale you are talking about, you will need to change the water once a while no matter how well balanced it is.. The good notice is that you start with fresh water tank and not saltwater. I have a pond of 2000 liters + 5000 liters tanks to storage rain water and use it to recirculate and other uses in my house. It works so well that I just need to recirculate a 400 liters of water every 2 or 7 days (summer - winter)

yeah.. because everyone wants to use the imperial system.. thats might be the reason... That avatar is your real picture? it will explain a lot..

But remember that each satellite needs to be in a special orbit, so you need a lot of proppelent to adjust each orbit, that decrease the amount that you can launch each time, and you will need to maintaince this network.. remplacing those who fail or updating with new ones to allows higher bandwidth.

No demand increase? Saying this is equal to ignore all logic, history, predictions and current facts. You already forget the google and spacex agreement to launch 4000 satellites just for one internet system? Which as first step now google owns the 10% of spacex. How much time it will take to launch 4000 satellites with the current launch rate? And that is just for one system... who knows how many other system or new space applications may arise? Anyone was able to predict 10 years ago all possible uses and applications that smartphones have today? If you are not able to imagine a new use for space, it does not mean that anyone else in the world can´t either. Launch cost determine all the other costs. More satellites you launch, the satellites parts becomes more standarize and cheap, you can even forget to design the hardware... just launch common hardware to the space, maybe using better shielding (extra mass) or redundancy. The software also becomes more reusable. The operation more automatic. How many gopro cams we see today in space? What about a personal real time eye network in space? just paying 100$ for month to be able to use it, like google maps but in real time. Or a satellite net-pattern which between all acts as a giant telescope? Time back gps or satellite images were mostly avariable for military or goverments, now everyone can use them. And I can think in many other uses just by my self.. what about the rest of the world? Edit: I have a new idea, what about a satellite network to calibrate the orbits of all the other satellites without using proppelent? You will need several networks at different orbit heights, then you can use lasers or magnetic fields to push other satellites already designed to use this system.

Ok, I am agree with all you said and I understand you. Of course I like the fact that many companies are trying the reusability approach to reduce cost. But unlike you, I take a posture.. thats all. Just knowing from the base, that the cost of these new rockets would not be lower than the cost of today falcon9 without reusability. And they will take at least 5 years for the first launch in case the project is not cancelled. In my post I dint said nothing about how easy or difficult it will be to achieve reusability, I was just saying how much cost reduction you can have with different reusability steps. Even if you need to use more expensive materials or technology, it does not change much the final cost reduction, because you will be able to reuse it many times, 5 or 10 or 100 times, even if is just 5, the cost reduction mostly /5 for that stage step. So even if it cost 2 or 3 times more, you still reduce cost. Also airlines makes maintenance each month +-, this equal to 300 hours of flight or an average of 60 flights. And not all mechanism are in easy access. payload cost will reduce according to the launch cost. That happens with any related product. And there is not point to talk about that because is obvious. All my % numbers are based in the total cost. Not the stage. If you have a new joint, it adds weight and complexity. I guess there is not point to explain why, I am sure you already notice it. yeah, that was always our biggest difference in opinion. You are willing to talk of launch cost reduction, but you keep your demand and hardware payload cost without changes... This is similar to think that if you reduce the cost of cars 100 years ago it will be pointless because you imagine that the demand will be the same. The same that some people in the past never imagine to have a computer in each house, and maybe they could not even see the utility in that.

The real question is... who voted for "No" ??? But does not matter, I dont wanna lose IQ discussing this. Just remember, you are the only ones in the world using that crazy thing... If the smurfs would invented a new unit system based on mushrooms, that would have much more sense than the imperial system.
