Space isn’t gay but other than that I agree with you. A mars colony is ambitious but possible- everything else like EM Drives and FTL and dyson spheres is gay and people here circle jerk over it like it’ll somehow be possible because of starship

UNDER BUDGET

AND

AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

>>12338631
With our current understanding of the available technology for interstellar travel, you'd need beings that were effectively immortal and mentally impervious to the ravages of time. Those things will arise from humanity at some point, out of the accelerating union between man and technology. The machine demigods are inevitable.

I'm writing a science fiction book. It's 2129, Mars has been colonized and is basically a fascist independent state controlled by the descendent of the founder of Mars. There is one other colony that strives for freedom from rule under the fascist government. Terraforming is underway but will take at least 1,000 years.

Earth is heavily populated, and divided into sectors. It's essentially globalism realized. People are without need, but many are heavily addicted to internet, drugs, food, pleasure, porn, VR, etc. It is guised as a democracy but is really a capitalist oligarchy controlled by a small group of extremely wealthy elites. They rule earth from Venus; where it's impossible to reach for commoners and thus impossible to overthrow.

Mining the asteroid belt is common, and early colonization of Jupiter's moons is beginning. There are rumors of a rebel base on an asteroid preying on cargo ships.

The founder of Mars was one of the most brilliant men to ever live, and it has long been rumored that when he died he had nearly complete plans for his dream project: a gateway to other solar systems.

When it's discovered that these plans are real and have been found, tensions between Mars and Earth are at an all-time high and war is looming. Whoever has the plans and builds the gateway essentially gets control over the future of humanity.

We follow a young soldier from Mars, a wealthy girl from Venus, and a poor boy from Earth as their fates intertwine in the involvement of gaining control of these plans.

Thoughts? Any advice?

>>12338924
Oh no, she's "black" now. It's your turn now.

>>12338926
Why does the colony want to be free from being based?

>>12338931
With every authoritarian society, there will always be rebels. The other colony is basically libertarian and seeks to replicate the idea behind the original United States.

>>12338937
>The other colony is basically libertarian and seeks to replicate the idea behind the original United States.
That book's been written already.

>>12338937
Well with that attitude they can go back to urf. Simple as

>>12338926
>We follow a young soldier from Mars, a wealthy girl from Venus, and a poor boy from Earth as their fates intertwine in the involvement of gaining control of these plans.
kino premise

>>12338926
I'd move the capital of the inner system "democracy" from Venus, it's in a tactically disadvantageous position because you can use the sun's gravity to assist any object falling down the well towards it.
Why not put them on the moon? It's sterile but they insist on putting their capital there anyways, insisting on a large supply of resources to maintain extremely luxuriant colony structures which emphasize the parasitism of their government structure on the productive people of Earth itself, and the Moon is in a tactically advantageous position around Earth where it's easier to get down the well to Earth than it is to get up the well to the Moon.

>>12338943
True, but that's not really the focus point of my story.

>>12338957
That's a brilliant idea. I mostly went with Venus because I thought floating cloud cities would be cool as fuck.

I really like your logic behind them being on the Moon though, it makes way more sense.

>>12338964
A sprawling lunar colony is also the kind of thing that a frustrated Earth lad could look up and see every day, fueling his rebellious spirit because it's always up there in the sky like a challenge.

>>12338978
What on earth could Ukraine possibly provide to Artemis?

>>12338983
Ukraine still has a good rocket industry inherited from the soviet union including the tsyklon, zenit and dnepr vehicles

>>12338928

>>12339037
It's badass because it looks like it's from an 80s movie or something. I wonder if it will get continued use after Jim. Kind of hope it doesn't

https://youtu.be/aoaBb9trRA0?t=180

come to think of it SS would make the ISS a bit pointless. SS has so much room that it could simply launch itself with a ton of experiments, stay up in orbit for months, and come back down whenever it's ready

>>12339045
rrrrrat

>>12339055
>Kind of hope it doesn't
I'm the exact opposite. The continued use of the worm logo will forever be a reminder of Big Jim and the great work he did

>>12338996
Zenit is fucking cool but I don’t think they will be launching anything. Signing ukraine is like signing luxembourg; it’s just a show of diplomacy (I think?)

>>12339063
That’s why I want it to go away. The worm will be remembered as the based logo that made a brief reappearance with Big Jim. Pics of DM-2 and crew 1 will forever show the power of bridenstine. But yeah I wouldn’t mind if it stayed it is the coolest identifier for a government agency

>>12339066
Luxemborg signing actually makes sense. They're really ramping up their space program lately cause they want to get into asteroid mining asap.

So what's raptor's fate? For what /sfg/ and twatter speaks, it might need to be resigned or have it's interior downgraded to a known working design since apparently it's meting itself.

>>12338996
They also make the first stage of Antares. Basically the Ukraine have whole rocket factories that are looking for business.

>>12339081
holy crap, why does /sfg/ always to seem think anytime there is an issue with anything, the answer is "give up"? is it just shills or do people legitimately believe this?

>>12339081

>>12339101
It's shills. Look at the absolute state of the entire rest of the space industry and compare it to SpaceX, they're terrified.

>>12339162
Why would any company pay for someone to shill on this general of all places?

Green New Deal, which will waste trillions of dollars.
Or maybe not, because he said he doesn’t support it in a debate, despite his website saying it’s an important part of some retarded pie in the sky plan to become carbon neutral.

fuck yes, as a shill I can't wait for this. raptor is a disaster, elon dies from covid, and the biden admin finally cracks down on spacex from polluting our skies. the future is dark (so astronomers can see the stars!)

Nah, the coof isn't that deadly unless you're old/fat/unhealthy.

nice pic of the ice detaching from the last ULA launch

>>12340206
astronomers seeing the stars/night sky is racist because its a white escapist fantasy. we should light pollute the night sky as much as possible and fill it with anti racist messages in satellite constellations.

YES! now we can observe every hair on Orions ballsack! i fucking LOVE science

>>12340202
The coof is indistinguishable from a mild cold. That was the point of his tweet. To hint to normies that they're being lied to.

>>12340202
I have the chink coof, it's like a cold, with the body aches of the flu, and it hits the lungs harder than you'd expect, but it's not bad at all (I'm not a fat fuck/old/smoke)
The worst part is I can't smell anything at all lmao
Most Americans live unhealthy, their lungs can't handle extra stress because of stupid lifestyle choices

>>12340208
like trump? lol, if it didnt kill him it's fucking harmless

>>12340218
>The worst part is I can't smell anything at all lmao
90% sure my dad and I had this in January. It was all there. Weirdly strong lung attack, weakness, total loss of smell and taste, but without the nose being blocked at all. I could breathe through my nose fine, but not smell anything.

>>12340219
I'd rather not call it harmless as there are some significant tissue damages can happen and severe cases when not treated have a high mortality.
Combine that with the infection rate and it is an issue.

>>12340225
If it's culling the old and unhealthy, we really couldnt ask for better

>>12340236
It's also weakening the rest.

So, how do we get funding for Launch Loop and skyhook?

SpaceX cannot move to China, all their IP belongs to the US government. If anyone could just move to China willy nilly Bill Gates' wonder reactors would have been built 10 years ago.

>>12340338
Then SpaceX will be quietly put out of business in about 2 years. The foreign policy goals of the new administration will be completely aligned with China's.

>doing illegal stuff is physically impossible!!11111

an engine got melty and damaging the fuel hot gas system
this resulted in a total loss of pneumatic control in the vehicle
this can only mean that the vehicle pneumatics run off of warm methane gas, which is a very bold choice imo

so no, it's not nitrogen pneumatics: it's methane pneumatics

>Replying to trolls

it's a smart choice, the previous guesses were all cold nitrogen gas

the upside of hot methane off of the preburners: replenishable in flight, from the same reservoirs you're already using for Raptor spin-up and the hot RCS (which doesn't exist) and the autogenous pressurization system

>>12340383

>>12340398
Just like the US China is part of the global north, it's the global south whose resources are stolen and squandered on space programs while the population gets no say and won't see any of the benefits.
Space exploration that only serves a tiny educated elite from developed nations is the epitome of racism. Not only does it exclude the vast majority of human perspectives, it also ensures that those responsible for exploiting the global south will be the first to exploit the solar system's riches.
