Reading the linked source the tells you that the RHUs were not installed on the rover due to mass constraints and might instead be used in future missions. The propulsion module carried an experiment, though, which was wasn't used for

When I say mission, I specifically mean the mission in the form of Artemis, not a permanent human presence on the Moon. The latter doesn't require three brand new rocket systems, especially not a Shuttle derived one. SLS was created to

Just to disspell that myth once and for all: Germany's nuclear power never exceeded ~28% of total electricity production. It would've never played a significant role in such scenario. Oh, and let's not forget what happens whe

Yes they can. In fact, until about 15 years ago, it was common practise in Germany to found an LLC in the UK and convert it into a GmbH only after it grew big and profitable enough to warrant the effort.

I think the main issue is that far too many people think of consciousness in terms of a binary state (i.e. consciousness is present or not) instead of a spectrum. Even in humans the state of being animals that possess consciousness varies o

You seem to be under the impression that mass is the main restriction - it isn't. Like at all. Starship as a concept is nothing new - the Soviets developed the Energia in the late 1980s and the second version was supposed to be 100% re

That wouldn't make sense though - once a sizable portion of the customer base is too poor to buy the services, there's no source of income anymore and the whole system collapses.

Sorry for the confusion - I was referring to the energy requirements of the interstellar mission, not the power generation of the world.
140.
by qayxc 3y ago
That's a very nice figure for context. So the energy required would be about 26% of that. That means it's more power than we could ever hope to capture from solar alone, as only about 29% of the surface is land and some of that is

I'm really not trying to sound condescending here, but your maths is WAY off. Where did you get 384.6 TW from? Your actual source says The power output or luminosity of the Sun is 3.8 x 10^26 W For reference that's 3.8 x 1

Theoretically it works, yes, though not nearly as well as initially thought. The engineering and the required materials, however, are still questionable and way beyond our current understanding of physics and material science. It's a s

Holy cow! I just read the energy requirements of that third mission. Total electricity generation capacity of the entire world is about 12TW today [1], whereas that 3rd mission would require a "formidable" - as the author admits -

They don't know the mass of the planet yet, so surface gravity is an unknown as of yet. The paper suggests two scenarios: a rocky world (~7 earth masses) or a water world (~2 earth masses). Surface gravity would be 38m/s² for a r
