That would be outstanding if it could ... talk about the perfect material for shielding supercritical spacecraft components. Radiation resistance, projectile resistance, lighter than normal metal, temperature resistant... What's not to like?
- AaronFriel 11y agoYou still need to make it fit, and this shielding may require more volume and more mass than a Whipple shield.
- matheweis 11y agoI was thinking of a small amount to protect supercritical components; navigation computers, comms, life support (if applicable); not necessarily the entire spacecraft.
