Wait, what? Beaming down internet could be done without a license using some very powerful WiFi, but how about the ground station? Also the fact that the satellite orbits slower than Earth doesn't help

How about putting up a gigapixel camera or two on that space bus? Someone would love to see gigapan style Earth or space image And how about using the bus for kickstarter archive like that TARDIS project? Instead of using SSD use several 2.5 TB LTO6 tape because it should be resistant toward bit flip (its only a magnetic tape after all). Don't know about bit rot

Unfortunately it is only abundant on earth, I have asked wikipedia ref desk before about availability of boron in asteroids and it is scarce But seawater have a lot of boron and hydrogen

Why do you want it in low orbit? Why not just send the bus to the lunar orbit? After all there will be no one that would complain that their stuff is broken because of our bus because there is nothing in the moon Or if its possible, put the bus in EML4 or EML5

Science lab uses megajoule instead of electric charge, plop down a nuke and generator with several radiators and it will run normally

All of the patches are borderline creepy, in conspiracy theory sense

Space station? There is no such thing as space station, is it the same as a train station? (ISS reaction)

We already have it in KSP: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/28428-Orion-aka-Ol-Boom-boom But nevertheless a good video

guys its coming true http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/60318-Krags-PlanetFactory

I think all of you are starting to bring those discussion to this thread, let this thread die in peace instead having a powerful flame war and getting one of my threads to be locked....

I know how to make an ICBM, but I don't know how to target them

^Name of that addon?

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKqhgx4MUC7ePx-kb6R4Gug The creator of that youtube channel is my friend, and it seems that his videos doesn't have enough viewers, so I promoting his video here If you have any comment/suggestion put it here or in one of his videos

Is there is another addon that adds planets instead of the controversial krag's planet factory?

Make your mod work with FAR! Mechjeb terminal velocity limiter doesn't work with FAR

Alright we need to consider every failure modes this bus could do: 1. Bus couldn't withstand the G-force 2. Some oil inside the bus explodes exploding you 60 million dollar money 3. The bus couldn't reach LEO and reenter Earth 4. Micrometeorite strike and your satellite bus explodes starting a kessler syndrome 5. Propulsion system failure, bus stuck in awkward orbit Any other?

No not the bottom the top! So we could align the panels with the sun and the sides of the bus makes great heat radiator My thruster design: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/1454501646/12V600AH_LiFePO4_battery_pack_for_electric.html : 12 VDC, 600 Ah, 53 kg MPD thruster = 4 4 cm internal diameter, with persistent superconducting magnet for external field, 30 kg? >110000 m/s exhaust velocity Power converting circuit: Still not sure with the design that can elevate 12v toward like 10kv, 20 kg max, radiator inclusive? Capacitor bank: 1 megawatt firing every 1 minute? 50 kg? Tank mass: 500 kg Argon mass: 1200 kg Assuming school bus weight is 9 metric tons, then Total dry mass: 10153 kg Wet mass: 11353 kg Delta-v = 12288.41 m/s Unfortunately wikipedia dV chart for low-thrust engine doesn't include LEO to GEO, but LEO to low lunar orbit requires 8 km/s So in short this bus could go to moon! Yay Reaction/rotation control system: 3 magnetorquers Several rotation and translation RCS ports using argon from main tank 3 control moment gyro

Why de-orbit when you already put it in graveyard orbit?

Let me see... we have 5000 kg left for stuff http://qdhipower.en.made-in-china.com/product/BbqmgvlwEXUA/China-Solar-Energy-Storage-Battery-LiFePO4-48V-500ah.html connected to several of this: http://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/1/2009/02/24/coke_can_plasma_rocket/#c_436043 and 2 tanks of liquefied argon should do it for the propulsion system With enough solar panel and patience this thing could go to moon and back

What space? Suborbital or orbital? If its suborbital usually the flight has been designed for the broadest population so they could get enough money AFAIK

SATA 3 gb/s Form factor doesn't matter Cheap is like under $100 so the hopefully the pesky import tax wouldn't increase the price so much

Well there is a real life SAS anyway...

My secondary 250 GB drive just potentially died right now, so do any one of you know a cheap high capacity disk that could be used for replacing this disk?

An article entitled "Facts and Fallacies of World War III" in the July 1961, edition of Popular Science magazine read "A californium atomic bomb need be no bigger than a pistol bullet. You could build a hand-held six-shooter to fire bullets that would explode on contact with the force of 10 tons of TNT."[64]

Which is more devastating, a single big asteroid, multiple medium asteroid that won't burn in atmosphere, or a lot of small asteroid that burn in atmosphere?
