Nice work!
For casuals it'd be nice to have a few preset scenarios, like MarsOne, some space agency proposals, The Martian, etc.
Also maybe a tool-tip to explain what a "Kilopower" is. Some RTG?
- samcheng 7y agoIt's a really interesting concept between an RTG and a full-on small fission plant. Basically, a tiny, simplified, nuclear fission generator. There's a link at the bottom of the page. Something I learned about today! https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20160012354.pdf https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/201600...
- mLuby 7y agoAh yes, the nuclear mushroom! :P The brand name annoys me. Thankfully we don't call forklifts "Ton" or water treatment plants "Potable".
- ed312 7y agoThanks for that link - an interesting set of ideas! Do you have any insight if these proposed solutions have gone through further testing/green lighting? Could a power plant solution like this be used for terrestrial remote research facilities?
