It's not clear. Maybe satellites will be assigned flypaths, like in aviation? Or you can have either a short-lived satellite, a GEO sat, a well-maintained constellation for communications or observations, singular exceptions like Hubbl

GEO is harder to achieve than LEO. There was never time when non-GEO satellites didn't outnumber GEO ones.

No, a better comparison would be "why people discuss antigravity sleds". Space elevator could have uses, if it wouldn't conflict with reality about as much as antigravity sleds, levitating a meter above the road, are. Horsele

I don't understand why so many seemingly educated people keep discussing Earth space elevator. For a long time there is a conclusion that the elevator is incompatible with Earth satellites, which mostly fly below GEO, and elevator will

The title is about gravity, but the first line is about wave of gravity. Hmm. We know that gravity alone can create radiation - the Hawking one. We also know that gravitational waves - the spacetime curvature changes with time - carry energ

Looks like in this proposal a less common escape technique is used. I wonder if we can adopt a standardized escaping method across various standards, languages and data structures, so one doesn't need to learn specifics every time.

True :) I completely agree that we'd be better without SLS, but STS is another story. My misunderstanding of what was meant.

by avmich 4y ago
SLS gave tons of experience, of all kinds imaginable. Like, supercomputers used to calculate aerodynamics, heat-protecting tiles, landing and pacifying procedures, to name some less known. It was definitely not money wasted, even though mor

Why do you think so?
983.
by avmich 4y ago
I hope not. I believe energy costs are historically falling, so not only for upper middle class. Efficiency is usually sacrificed for the effect, so yes, it will spend joules - but that's what the human race does since birth.

In terms of transistors I think MCPU by Tim Boscke can be hard to beat - https://github.com/cpldcpu/MCPU , however how many transistors this 8 bit CPU has is not clear.
