/sci/ - Science & Math

space isn't that exciting. why does /sci/ never talk about anything interesting? it's space, iq, and memes. i hate it.

>>11300480
It's hard to say specifically, but I guess that there will be a strong focus on refining reusable rockets to bring down the cost to go to space as that's a huge limiting factor. Expect more Starship-like rockets. Space industry will most likely focus on water ISRU as that's the easiest to obtain. The rest? IDK. That's alot of unkowns.

>>11300485
I'm asking about future tech and science that could allow for space exploration. you not caring about exploring space is irrelevant to this thread.

space flight general space flight general space flight general

it's so gay and it never fucking ends. there are hundreds of topics in science that are far more interesting.

nobody irl wants to do anything fun, and everyone on the internet is a shill. it's goddamned depressing.

I just want to know how to visually design plausible future space ships. What kind of tech would they use that would dictate the visual design?

>I just want to know how to visually design plausible future space ships.
This website will be your friend. http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/

>What kind of tech would they use that would dictate the visual design?
Very much dependent on how far into the future you're looking into, and what mission is the spacecraft expected to complete.

>>11300504
>Very much dependent on how far into the future you're looking into, and what mission is the spacecraft expected to complete.
not so far in the future that the design would be unrecognizable. More like Mars and Moon base building era and perhaps whatever comes after.

>>11300495
Don't worry. One day mankind will return to space, leaving the nay-sayers behind as they kicked and screamed.

>IXS
how would these rings work? and what would the next generation of something like this look like?

>>11300508

naysayer? you're the dicks posting the same goddamned threads every day. and they're not even that interesting

>>11300485
Post something interesting then.

/sci/ loves to deride pop-sci but it's the epitome of vapid pop-sci itself.

and i normally think pop-sci is great but this is just dreck.

>>11300513

i do. all the time. i don't get much conversation though aside from a few jeers.

>>11300507
Moon-Earth transport craft would probably look something like this if nuclear rockets in low Earth orbit were allowed.

right now you're just turning /sci/ into your own whining crying blog

>>11300521
based anon.
Do you have other sources or maybe pic collections you can share?

>>11300511
>you're the dicks posting the same goddamned threads every day.
Because spaceflight is cool.

>and they're not even that interesting
What's interesting is different for different people.

>>11300515
lolwut. did you just say Wernher von Braun is the epitome of vapid pop-sci?

>>11300522

sometimes you just have to say what's on your mind

>>11300523
>Do you have other sources
Astronautix (also known as Encyclopedia Astronautica) has some good stuff if you can tough it through how ugly the site looks.

Here's an example: http://astronautix.com/d/dlblunarbase.html

>or maybe pic collections you can share?
https://images.nasa.gov/ has some cool images for random browsing.

>>11300520
Let's hear some interesting ideas.

>>11300534

how about lifting the ban on "homework questions"? you might get actual people talking here if they can discuss exercises and questions.

as far as discussion topics, i think cognitive psychology and psychological conditioning are interesting, and we don't hear a lot about them here. yeah, yeah "hurr durr not science". i think you can afford to broaden your definition just slightly since most threads here are bullshit anyway.

>>11300545
>i think cognitive psychology and psychological conditioning are interesting

or just human behavior in general. literally anything but another space flight general would be fresh.

what about that libgen discussion not too long ago? what happened to that? the ethics and consequences of "piracy". that was fun.

>>11300545
All these rules are too strict (literal) nowadays but it's not like mods or anyone else care. It's like jannies and mods themselves hate 4chan more than anyone but I digress.
I think what killed 4chan was this witchhunt on "ironic shitposting," stifling all creativity and leaving behind only the most generic, bland and inoffensive posts and there is nothing more bland than talking about the futile goal of colonizing space.

How can we colonize space when we can't even colonize this very planet? Fuck you.

mo money for dem programs

>>11300900
What's the chance some newcomers have already retired while working entirely on that program?

>>11300495
Most of 4chan/nel is populated with bot posting. The faster the board the more bot posting there is on it. Real posting is down to something like 2% of combined posts.

>how do you guess the future of technology and space exploration works and visually looks like?
It will look much like today. In fact, due to the internet and instantly accessed world culture, all culture, fads, and related things are now starting to merge and stagnate. As a result, less technological progress is needed. All consumer product designs can be recycled as "new & innovative!" several times a generation now.

As for space exploration. It won't move forward very much. We may land people on Mars or where ever, but it simply won't matter at all. Just like landing on the moon didn't matter. Turns out that it is just popsci garbage & grant farming in the end.

Why? Because, no one wants to spend the cash to do something real.

>>11300901
Most people on 4chan/4channel are younger than that program.

>>11300510
>how would these rings work
The purely theoretical and (hopefully not for long) practically impossible Alcubierre drive
>what would the next gen look like
Presumably thinner/smaller rings with a larger body as the ship gets bigger and the drives tech becomes more compact

>>11301133
lolcheck'd

>>11300480
anon this will prolly get buried or labeled pseudoscience and I know the only reason there aren't endless threads on /sci/ about this is because it's full of academy bots who reject anything fun in favor of incremental progress and academic stagnation but there is a Dr. Cesar Salvatore Pais working under the US Navy Aerospace program who claims and has patented a series of sci-fi like patents.

>Nuclear fusion reactor
>gravitational wave generator

>inb4 nuclear fusion >>>>>>/x/
No I can't be asked to download the source if you can't be asked to Google all of the above.

>>11301189
Also the US Navy Technological Director or some similar title gave the "operable" on these patents. Meaning not just that they could work but that they will work. I'm paraphrasing a lot right now but anons with any soul left will give me the benefit of the doubt.

based, thanks anon

Daily reminded that this thread was posted multiple times in the past months and this same thread is still active on /g/.

>>11301338
no it wasn't you mong, I posted this here and it's the first time I have

Not finding it there. Link?

>>11301353
I've seen this same thread posted many times on here. That's with the video and nearly the same image with same general subject. For many years now there's been inane repetition of threads in order to degrade board quality.

retard. I posted that there where the autistic spergs here started whining about space being too fun for them to talk about. now go fuck yourself.

no one else has made my thread here before.
