The arrogant Eloy in Europe and Canada will have destroyed the Industrial people as they demand that they should rule without having merit. (Not all of the people just the idiots running things in those places now). The Americas (Perhaps - Canada) prosperous from the Canadian border to the tip of South America. I am thinking that it is possible. As for Carbon in the Atmosphere, artificial wood from grass and Bamboo could pull it out of the atmosphere, and we can make structure for these new industries such as supports for solar panels from it. My point is you don't kill your old industrial horse and then hope to get a new one. You use all your horses and achieve a clean atmosphere faster. Ending Pending

One design I haven't seen for space habitats is the spiral/scroll. If the cylinder is wide and the ceiling heights low enough, you can have multiple levels that are all one contiguous scroll. E.g. a 10km diameter cylinder with 50m ceilings could spiral round ten times with the innermost part having 90% of the gravity the outermost has. 300km long scroll. Make it 100km long embedded in a suitable iceteroid, and you have 30,000km2 of area, all one curled up sheet. Enough for wolves..?

Just solving deceleration would dramatically cut mass ratios. No need to accelerate the ions much, since they're there to provide drag against a magsail rather than pushing it. I wonder if neutral particles could be launched and then ionised by the ship? Could a suitable magsail achieve drag against a stream of say oxygen?

I guess I can be an "Other Thinker". There is something I want to expose in this post elsewhere: https://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.ph … 56#p241556 Quote: >>>>>>>>>>>> I am coming to the conclusion that people achieve wealth either by appointment to it or by being useful to a productive task. Most Communists, Monarchists, and some religious institutions, and Universities, are more towards wealth by appointment. In order for an Unworthy person to have wealth appointed to them, first the wealth has to be taken from the people that it can be taken from, typically a Monarch is a taker, but also Stalin, Lenin, Mao, etc. were very similar to royal taking. However not every taker is a scoundrel. Those who are in such a system that are more worthy might assist a "Maker" such as Elon Musk in creating Wealth. That could happen in a university, for instance, even though I think that mostly they are "Takers". DEI is an example of the appointed "Taker". >>>>>>>>>>> I believe that this can be used in seeing societies as being ordered by contraction/extraction or expansion/creation. I will argue that some parts of the MAGA movement are of the expansion/creation nature, and that much of the rest of the world is of the contraction/extraction nature. It is very simply a situation where a part of a society in hierarchy becomes cannibalistic in that it feeds on the other parts, and does not create an offsetting benefit for that other part that they extract from. While Communists have claimed t

This is a follow up to Post #7 The woman who's been leading the effort to remember Viking is the daughter of a gent who worked on Viking. The Viking Mars Missions Education & Preservation Project - TM September 6 at 10:45PM · I have been working on preserving the Viking mission with my father since he first spoke to my classroom in 1979. Our connection was forged through the mission, but until now I have not written about his work specifically other than a brief mention when I discuss Viking. This month I published an article on Viking with his alma mater - MIT. I also provided in depth information for a more robust article they also published, but composed by John Tylko, an MIT grad on the AIAA History Committee I have been serving on for several years. Enjoy this little bitty piece on my Dad in MITs Technology Review.

Need a lift... Cygnus the swan lifts up the International Space Station | Space photo of the day for Sept. 14, 2026 Everyone needs a helping hand from their friends now and again — even space stations. Recently, the International Space Station got an orbital boost from the docked Cygnus XL spacecraft, helping the station get to the correct altitude. What is it? On Aug. 27, while attached to the International Space Station's Unity module, Northrop Grumman's Cygnus XL cargo spacecraft turned its engines on and fired them. This planned maneuver lifted the space station's orbit, pushing it into a higher altitude. This image snapped from orbit shows Cygnus, named for the swan constellation, as it's attached to the station for this planned push.

Seems there is an issue in The Moon Doesn’t Have Enough Water For Musk’s ‘Self-Growing’ City Of Millions, Researchers Say and its probably is the same for Mars plan as well. Key Facts A city of over 1 million people would exhaust the amount of known water on the moon within just 2.4 years, the study found—assuming water would be used for personal use, agriculture and planned heavy industries and data centers. Any sort of moon settlement would therefore have to rely on strict recycling standards for water, such as the extremely efficient standards on the International Space Station. The ISS has a 98% recycling efficiency, and using that standard, a city of 1 million would be able to sustain itself for about 100 years, according to the study, while a smaller city of about 100,000 could sustain itself for another 1,000 years. The authors speculate a "Moon Village" of just about 1,000 people—similar to the population of researchers on Antarctica—would be more sustainable and allow "carefree" water use. However, the researchers also noted several possible solutions to the water shortage—moon settlements could try to recycle water more efficiently, reduce water use using techniques like vertical farming, import water from nearby asteroids or discover more water on the moon itself. How Much Water Is On The Moon? Researchers estimate about 34 million tons of water exist on the moon. However they also noted this estimate might be "low" and used a 1 billion ton baseline to make their p

This post is about research indicating there ** may ** be green hydrogen in Australia. The work is entirely speculative, since no actual drilling was done, but the report may be of interest to some readers. https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/arti … 00258.html Science Alert Researchers Discover a Green Hydrogen 'Goldmine' Beneath Australia's Red Dirt David Nield Sat, September 12, 2026 at 10:00 PM EDT Iron ore mine (1361468201/Moment/Getty Images) Researchers have found that natural reserves of hydrogen could potentially be abundant in iron ore deposits underground in Western Australia. See more The search is on for natural sources of hydrogen that could potentially fast-track humanity to a low-carbon energy future. As a fuel, it's incredibly clean – but most hydrogen today is still produced using fossil fuels. Being able to tap into abundant natural reserves of hydrogen would solve that problem, and there are several geological processes that can make it. One is when hot water hits the magnetite mineral found in iron ore. There's a lot of that iron ore underground across Western Australia, and researchers led by a team from Edith Cowan University in Australia, wanted to assess how much hydrogen gas could potentially already exist there, and be produced in the future. Geological layers Fluid access to magnetite through fractures and permeable rock is key to hydrogen formation, the researchers found. (Moghanirahimi et al., Int. J. Hydrog. Energy, 2026) The results of their stud

Torus: I asked Google AI "mass of a D6AC steel pressure vessel 14.7 psi 9.6m x 9.5m x 2.4m with reinforcing supports every 2.4m" This is the dimension of a single pressure compartment of the lower deck of the Large Ship. kbd512 had recommended D6AC steel, so let's assume that grade. Each cabin is 2.4m wide from centre-of-wall to centre-of-wall. And 4.0m long. Corridor is 1.5m wide. A single pressure compartment has 4 cabins on the left side of the corridor, and another 4 on the right. Two pressure compartments across for the width of the torus. This means 2 corridors around the circumference. The 2 corridors will be broken by special sections, such as the base of a spoke that connects the torus to the central hub. I had suggested corrugated steel for 3 sides of this pressure compartment, where the wall is a common wall between two pressure compartments. The corrugated steel wall will not normally feel pressure, because pressure will be the same on both sides. However, in case of a catastrophic failure causing loss of pressure, the wall must hold pressure. Ceiling will be floor of the upper deck. Floor and one side wall will be exterior hull of the ship. Floor-to-ceiling reinforcements will be present, hidden within non-pressurized partition walls. Note that I did not give corrugated steel in the question. Results difficult to cut-and-paste. It uses formatting code not compatible with this forum. So I asked a different question. Still formatting issues. "mass of a D6AC steel p
