[math]\displaystyle y = \sin^{-1}\frac{\frac{GMm}{r^2} - \frac{mv^2}{r}}{F}[/math]

GM is the standard gravitational parameter
m is the mass of a small body
r is the distance to the center of the big body
v is the tangential velocity of the small body
F is a force on the small body

What can this formula be used for?

Yeah okay but I'm not talking about actual MORMONS dude. Like, I'm not even necessarily talking about a religious group. There just needs to be a population of people living in orbital habitats that pool their money and buy an orbital habitat to live in together which all share the same general life ideals of "I want to have like 5 kids". Kids growing up on that orbital will inherit their parent's way of life for the most part, pessimistically 60% of them anyway. With a starting population of 10,000 people, 5 kids per couple on average, and a 60% ideological retention rate, the population of this "space-mormon" group grows to 25,000 people the first generation (say 25 years), 62,500 people after 50 years, 390,625 after 100 years, 95.367 million after 250 years, 9.1x10^11 people after 500 years. That's already entering the beginnings of dyson swarm territory. Also keep in mind that every generation is losing 40% of its numbers to literally any other lifestyle (ie I only want 1 kid, I don't want kids, I want to play MTG, etc), so the actual human population at this point would be even larger.

So how do they get the deposition of molten alumina to happen and form a structurally strong pad before the dynamic pressure of the exhaust just blows the micron scale dust grains away, and prevents the droplets of alumina from actually bonding to anything?

If you want a preview of how this is gonna work, go use a leaf blower to blast gorilla glue at the sand on a beach and watch the globs touch the sand, get coated in grit, lose the ability to stick to anything, and then get blown out of the crater you're excavating.

>>12746630
The top part is force due to gravity minus centripetal force, which if set to zero could be rearranged to give orbital velocity, but i can't figure out that the division by F or the inverse sin is for.

>>12746630
Well you're taking the gravitational force between two objects, then subtracting centripetal force on the smaller object. Now if the equation was written in terms of F without sin and y that would simply be the gravitational force on the smaller object accounting for centripetal acceleration. So uhh why are you taking the inverse sin of something that should equal 1? I dunno, I sucked dick at physics which is partly why I became a geochemist.

>>12746679
>>12746679
yeah that's right
I'll just say it (we need to send that space frog with the cancer rocket at some point anyway):

The formula gives you the angle with respect to the horizon that a rocket (usually a second or third stage that has reached the target apoapsis or planned periapsis, OR has reached a target vertical speed) needs to keep to mantain 0 vertical acceleration. Naturally it changes as the tangential velocity increases.
It can be easily modified to keep vertical accelerations other than 0.
It's stupid as that.

Hi Bro’s. My genetics teacher just said that humans, with technological intervention, could successfully colonize a new planet with as few as 50 members, assuming that the people have good genetic diversity as-is. Is he right?

>>12746728
I guess?
you can also pack a couple of thermos with frozen cooms

>>12746728
50 is lowest minimal viable population you can supposedly get away with for humans, though other papers suggest a few hundred would be greatly preferable.

>>12746736
>>12746728
Yeah I was thinking that but he meant like only 50 individuals with no extras. It’s part of this problem we have in class about “how many people of each blood type would you have in this colony” and I just said

i fucking love rogs

>>12746728
inbreeding is a meme, you can fix it by making sure every woman has at least 10 kids. If you build up a large population and just don't allow the individuals that show deleterious alleles to breed, those deleterious alleles will be filtered out of the population. Basically you'll go through a teething period where only one or two children of every batch can have healthy kids, and once you come out the other side you could literally have ten generations of brothers marrying their sisters with no ill effects. We'd basically be cheetas at that point, where everyone can donate blood and tissue to anyone else, no more organ rejection, etc etc, but the whole population becomes vulnerable to major impact from disease (imagine if everyone had the same immune system and it happened to be the configuration that lands you in the "covid-19 will kill me" zone).

>>12746828
Yeah it's hard, we lack references. Even when we have videos it's hard to make sense of it, perhaps even harder.
In this case, this cave (or pit or whatever it is) entrance is 160 meters in diameter.

>>12746828
yeah, watching the landing video I had no idea what the scale of anything was until the rover literally hit the ground

>>12746831
That sounds like a fucking major problem.

>>12746772
Yes, the pressure around your torso would force blood into your limbs, inflating them and starving your organs of blood. Eventually your arms and legs would start to rupture things and you would likely bleed out subcutaneously.

if I can find the time I want to take images of the landing and pair them with equivalent heights on earth. Fortunately the lady commentating was giving on-the-fly altitude callouts.

Pic related is only ~10KM above the surface. I think part of the reason the landing is confusing is that people (including myself) expected the rover to be far higher than that since it was approaching from space. But once visual of the ground is obtained it's really quite close. Most of the decent is done with the heatshield on.

>>12746848

raptor production is a serious problem here. At the current rate they're going they won't be able to afford crashing any superheavies

>>12746848

>>12746839
Is it a problem if you live inside a managed ecology with very little in the way of pathogenesis? Probably yeah, but not as much of a problem as compared to sharing a planet with a country that uses wet markets and international air travel simultaneously. Besides the immune system thing can be fixed by direct genetic tinkering, all you're really looking for there is variation between individuals so it's not that impractical to imagine tweaking a few base pairs in a few zygotes to artificially accelerate the genetic drift.

>>12746857
I’m 98% sure that they’ll never put more than 4-6 Raptors on Superheavy until they’re fully ready to try an orbital flight.

>>12746847
A constant volume torso and head with mechanically compressed limbs would work really well though, and would pretty much solve all of the problems with both designs.

>>12746860
part of living in a managed ecology will be fortifying yourself against total system collapse which involves everyone dying of the same disease at once

>>12746857
It's weird because the production was ramping up quite steadily until recently. Maybe they're switching something over.

>>12746857
Yeah that's 10 raptors since SN8? 3 more lost from SN9 at least, so seriously looking like raptor production could be a bottle neck very soon.

>>12746864
even 4-6 raptors is a lot when they only have a backlog of 10 or so

y no more green raptor

>>12746864
They'll likely do a few static fires, but no need to do any flights with more than 4 Raptors until they are going for orbit, I agree.

Some anon was realy sad that he allways was late to the party with making a new /sfg/ thread and not able to have a Zubrin edition. So I decided to help out a little.

>>12746666
nice digits, mega satan, but surely this will be less of a problem in very low pressure or vacuums where the engine plume expands and doesn't impart much force on the surface no?

>>12746867
They’re changing Raptors steadily it seems. Remember that green one out of nowhere? And now Elon wants better throttle capability so expect a few more destructive tests.

>>12746878
It’s kinda like Grasshopper and Falcon9Dev1. There’s only so much you can do with a short hop before you stop learning from it. Superheavy will have less “high altitude” flights (if any) than Starship I gaurantee it.

>>12746857
>>12746868
to be fair we have no indication of how many raptors they have "in reserve". A specific raptor arriving a boca doesn't indicate what the foremost raptor SN# is.

>>12746866
Yeah yeah, read the rest of my post where I describe that as a concern and how to fix it, dude.
Of course you should keep in mind that I'm keeping the idea constrained to only having 50 people and zero immigration ever (maybe Earth died or became turbo-pozzed and cancelled every technology perceived as being a product of "inequality", thus resetting back to pre-agricultural society before immediately being slaughtered by their own first generation descendants who began the same slow climb back up the ladder).

>>12746868
Working through the old engines, anon. Why would they skip from SN40-something to SN100-something even if they had the engines? They gotta use the raptors between SN40 and SN100 somehow. May as well be during the initial development phases.

They probably baked a nozzle longer than they meant to, built up an extra thicc chromium oxide layer, and said fuck it it'll be fine, use up the surplus parts.

>not just allowed, but mandatory
>>12746921
Yeah it makes more sense to me that they'd keep the engines in a climate controlled shed next to their factory and just send a few to Boca every time they need them. Raptor is robust enough to spend a few weeks under a Starship in the elements but it'd be stupid to move all the enigines to the launch site right as they come off the pad. It's likely that they keep going back and tweaking the engines they've previously assembled while they're still at the factory too, as they make little improvements.

>>12746728
That's one of the absolute minimum requirements, but the actually reviewed papers go from 250~2000 to actually work. Some even quote 10000, but I'm not sure how accurate those simulations are.

>>12746944
The total human population literally dropped to between 3000 and 10,000 after that Indonesian supervolcano erupted, so there's your hard limit for the lower bound otherwise we would not be here. It's likely a lot lower too, it's just that once you get under 1000 the chances of a single event like a flood or forest fire killing literally everyone on one swoop becomes a real problem.

>>12746925
10 years at a very optimistic schedule, assuming that Musk doesn't bite the bullet or gets done in by ULA snipers along the way you mean.

>>12746956
Adding to this I just realized how brutal the K-T extinction event must have been to wipe out all the non-avian dinosaurs when we know that a single breeding pair could produce dozens of eggs in a single clutch. If literally any of the dinosaurs weren't outright killed by the comet strike and its immediate effects, their populations had still been annihilated so hard that not even that level of reproductive fertility could allow them to bounce back. You would think that at least one species of small herbivorous therapod would have clung on long enough in some small corner somewhere to produce a fossil record, before eventually going extinct due to selection pressures from the rapidly evolving mammals.

>>12746928
that shit is going to be rad as fuck

>>12746925
Zubrin will live at least 10 more years in Elon time
>>12746960
10 years is not optimistic for Starship landing the first crew of 8 people on Mars and returning them to Earth. It's optimistic for seeing fleets of Starships departing for Mars with 40 people aboard each spacecraft and large scale ISRU on the planet, I'll give you that for free. Starship taking more than a decade to get humans to Mars is definitely a pessimistic estimate at this point, don't forget that in between every Mars launch window Starship will be flying hundreds and even thousands of missions to LEO, GTO, GEO, highly-elliptical Earth orbits for interplanetary payload dropoff, the Moon, unmanned to NEOs, and unmanned to other planets, not to mention the previous two or three launch windows will likely see at least several Mars landings by unmanned Starships (with the landing preceding the manned mission involving as many as a dozen Starships packed with cargo n' sheeit)

>>12746981
This smug face...it mocks my very being.

>>12746971
An interesting and depressing side note to the K-T extinction. Hadrosaur bones have been identified in strata that post date the impact event by what I think was around 100,000 years. So non-avian dinosaurs did manage to survive the earth-spanning disaster that was the asteroid impact but for some reason just never truly managed to recover afterwards.

>>12746986
I think that Zubrin has lived long enough to not be mislead by such high amounts of "let's just hope it works out lmao". Imagine that a single important natural disaster, heart attack or just accident would be enough for all that to be vaporized and not work anymore in that timeframe.
Have you considered the possibility that Starship might just...not work? So far it's still only on paper, what would happen if an unforeseen engineering problem pushes it back two or three years simply because of a design flaw? Elon's crew is pretty good, but they're not beyond failures.

This was found to be untrue, anon. The bottleneck was not found to correlate with the volcano. Also there was no difference in the weather in east Africa which is where most of our ancestors were.
I used to believe this crock o' shit myself so, I don't blame you.
What Toba *might* have done was to wipe out whatever earlier out-of-Africa movements had got to South Asia / Southeast Asia. Those remains aren't preserved well but I think some have been found.

>>12747017
Except that Starship does work, except for landing at 9.8 ms-2 gravity. There are iterations coming which are actually concentrating on that and may fix it. Mars' gravity is, of course, 3.72 ms-2 so that much easier to land.

>>12747122
>It's ok to be hopeful anon, but it still needs to carry something to LEO/beyond for anybody to believe that he has an actual shot at Mars
With Starship? But that part is easy, they already have plenty of experience routinely reaching orbit with Falcon 9, and Starship uses propellants much closer to each other in temperature. The first part of the hard part is reliably doing reentry and landing with Starship, and the second part is doing that in a way that can be rapidly repeated. Actually going to orbit is gonna wait until after they nail the landing, and it'll likely work on the first try. Maybe the return from orbit won't go perfectly first try, I'll admit.

>>12747166
Yeah. But if you want much higher change, get internship and expand your horizon building strong foundations and heuristics from which you build up your foundations.

>>12747157
Yup. Combination of low delta V requirements making SSTO feasible, plus thick and extremely tall atmosphere which is basically ideal for offsetting the drawbacks of an altitude compensating nozzle. With that being said, it would still make sense to mount a set of air breathing jet turbine engines (which were supplied with fuel and oxidizer internally and just used the air for reaction mass) to perform most of the initial climb out of Titan's lower atmosphere, only needing the aerospike for the final 3/4ths of the burn to orbit, given that Titan's gravity is very low (local TWR for all engines is improved) and air breathing jets can easily be 100 times more efficient than the best chemical rockets, with some achieving over 150,000 Isp.

I think someone else posted another channel but I can't remember the name.

>>12747225
You should probably start by making videos. Try, fail, try again. Make them out of steel to save money and simplify fabrication. Don't fall for the hydrolox meme.

>>12747236

Probably a bit of both

Learn how to use VEGAS PRO (cracked) or DAVINCI Resolve 17 (free version) or something else. The main goal should be to push out content initially and then improve over time. It doesn't matter too much on what the initial quality is, as long as its decent enough.

Try to look up screen capture software that won't drop frames, also do a LOT of time lapse stuff because it lets you compress choppy footage into high framerates. I don't have much more advice though because I don't make videos lol

Is the bopper an instrument stand like it's older brother now?

>https://youtu.be/NmcXbEgac9o

Will bet my life savings they permanently fuck up a raptor with this test and it will be another 2-3 weeks before they have to redo this static fire again

>>12747314
I bet it's still an active prototype but they're just focusing on SN10 before they finish testing 7.2.

>>12747314
They couldn't break it, but in trying they reached such an unholy amount of pressure that the spacetime inside the tank underwent vacuum decay, and is now held back by 3mm of stainless steel. So they're just gonna leave it there until they either need the stand or find a better place to chuck it.

IT BLEW UP LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HONK

What did that mean?

it sharted!

>>12746587
ABORT
ABORT
ABORT
it farted then shut off

I'M THROOSTING

>>12747330
it better have, this general hasn't had a good shitstorm in weeks. Even the rover landing was kinda boring desu, a least compared to SN8/9.

BRAAAAAAAAAP

FLIGHT THIS WEEK BOYS

>>12747341
nah, that anon literally posts that everytime there's a test
>>12747334
>>12747335
>>12747338
looked pretty good but then again the vents opened right at the end, so it may have been an abort at the very last second.

>>12746831
>just don't allow the individuals that show deleterious alleles to breed
What are recessive genes?
There have been studies of recessive genetics lying dormant for multiple generations. Unless you test each kid to make sure they are dominant/dominant and not dominant/recessive, you'll never know if they are a carrier until two D/R manage to reproduce, and even then the recessive genetics may not show up unless the bastard child gets the R/R combo.

Fuck why is that roar going on for like a minute?

>>12747343
more like engine swap this week

>>12747345
>that anon literally posts that everytime there's a test
Kek I did it this time but I'm pretty sure there's more than a few who do it

flight tomorrow?

The header tank still looks frosty. Any chance they relight through it?

>>12747351
Earliest flight date is thursday.

ha, NSF froze on this frame

they loaded the entire thing up this time. Look at that cute frosty nose.

>>12747379
Their earlier ones were pretty long. Up until SN8 almost killed itself of course

>>12747346
So test every kid, duh.
Actually I didn't even suggest testing everyone, just have everyone have as many children as they possibly can to maximize the chances of one not having any dominant bad genes, and only allow those ones to have children later.

>>12747388
dubs confirm, however go like and fav anyway

Did it fire?

its so sad seeing the raptor like that

>>12747513
A man denied his dreams. But he always wins in the end...

>>12747481
Those aren't always accurate, and it was pretty soon after today's static fire, so I doubt the cops had those ready and waiting for SpaceX to tell them that the static fire went poorly/not at all to quickly distribute. Not saying they won't test tomorrow though.

>>12747519
There will eventually be thousands of these engines but the ones expended in early testing have the most meaningful impact

>You would think that at least one species of small herbivorous therapod would have clung on long enough in some small corner somewhere to produce a fossil record, before eventually going extinct due to selection pressures from the rapidly evolving mammals.

You'd think so because it's probably true, it took about 10 million years for placentals mammals to solidly dominate land ecosystems, if any non-avian dinos made it we'd definitely be living along side their descendants today.

>>12747612

>>12747624
Oh oh I get what you're saying; yeah I agree with you
I thought you were trying say the Chinese did nothing wrong but you just said Tojo. Nevermind.

>>12747630
No, Athus is dead (his husband)
Narse just doesn't do much anymore.

>>12747630
Athus died so narse lost the burn to draw. I guess being a full on scaly artist does not pay much in commissions when everyone wants a dog or horse.

How long can you hold it in space? Poop and pee I mean

>>12747586
I've spent so long on /sfg/ I'm pretty sure I know trivia about almost every rocket ever launched to space (save for niche ones like Israeli, Iran, N. Korea ones, etc.)
From this video the ones I know least about are Sprint (the first one shown; never heard of it) Copenhagen Suborbital's (which doesn't matter because they aren't really a real company) and the Atlas. I know fucking jack shit about Atlas and I feel like I should know way more about it

>>12747073
What if we named the Shuttles after people instead?

>>12747644
I once didn't poop for six days. I wasn't really eating though.

>>12747017
>Imagine that a single important natural disaster, heart attack or just accident would be enough for all that to be vaporized and not work anymore in that timeframe.
What if Elon does a Korolev and Starship becomes the new N1?

>>12747660
We all die here together on this rock.

>>12747660
"muh N1" is one of the oldest most overused invocations around. N1 was a perfect storm of systemic failure, it isn't comparable to Starship at all.

>>12747654
Wow, really cool. I bet in space you could not poop for twice as long, maybe even a month

>>12747648
Atlas is based. It's the only (??) 1.5 stage vehicle ever.

>>12747660
If Starship does an N1 it’ll just be flown and flown again until it’s not exploding. Also N1 flight 4 almost made it

>>12747553
the 2nd stage is retardedly short on this thing

>>12747553
With a burning rage. I hate chinks

>>12747679

>>12747698

why

>>12747698
Vulcan has admirable girth but holy shit, the reliance of ULA on SRB's is stupid

>>12747692
Bruh most rockets have issued when they first start flying you plonker. Anyhow Starship doesn’t have an escape system because it would be useless on Mars

>>12747553
The most annoying part about chinks stealing tech is they will probably claim to have been the original creators even when they do shit like that.

>>12747703
When you buy American(tm) engines with shit thrust density so you can support American(tm) srb manufacturers at the same time. God Bless ULA!

>>12747708
Why? They work, and non-segmented even better

>>12747703
>>12747733
Vulcan is actually height restricted so it can use Atlas and Delta’s infrastructure without needing a change. That’s why it’s not taller than it is now, and that’s why it needs SRBs

>>12747660
Scientific development is kinda unpredictable bro, he just has to stick to his guns and throw away the designs that don't work, and keep trying with new stuff. He'll only fail now if he either goes full retard or fucking dies, it only takes one wrong Neuralink chip surgery for it all to go down.

>>12747746
Going taller would only make the vehicle t/w worse, which is the whole reason for the SRBs.

>>12747746
Yeah they had their hands tied. They could’ve added two or more engines and went all in with SMART so they don’t need SRBs but nah

>>12747777
Checked and yes, ULA's entire history can be summed up by "they were a forced company, they COULD achieve great things, but they keep getting cucked by the government, the rules, and themselves"

I presume that the engines in the boosters are either RS-68’s or are STME’s? Both cost $20 Million so 10 of them is about $200 million. Not a lot but if you’re boosting 100 tons to LEO it’s not bad

>He works for JPL
how does he not get in trouble for shitting on NASA projects

>>12748419
It's there in the model year - it's a 2083 Railgrinder. The LE edition that year included a lot of livery options (this one is blank) but importantly also really nice lightfield displays which line the bulkhead walls in order to alleviate claustrophobia on long coasts. Most peopl who opt for that package don't use the feature all that much though, because full-dive neural interface VR is the common way to pass the time on multi-day trips.

What’s impractical about giant rotating space stations?

>>12748438
Maybe the void cities, yeah. But everything else? No way. It's clear that information technologies can explode in advancement speed in a way that real steel simply can't. Sixty years for lightfield displays and neural interface VR? It's in the bag. But sixty years to move enough mass to the moon that there'll be casinos up there? Dubious. Either way the sketchiest thing is that they'd hand the keys of a small nuclear pile to some random-ass millionaire. Presumably there's good enough government scopes on-orbit that it's really not possible to get away with taking it to somewhere you shouldn't. They say there's no stealth in space, yeah?

they'll definitely be built eventually, but we are no where near the level to build them yet, but some o'neil cylinder fans expect us to build them within 50 years from now. we should send them all to the infirmary

>just launch millions/ billions of tons of materials into space and assemble them
and don't say space elevators

>>12748474
We're closer than you think. The interface technology will be designed by artificial agents, who will be designed by other artifical agents who will be designed by us. Soon in the future we're going to wield technology where we quite literally do not understand the more intricate points of how it works. Side note, I also didn't make this spacecraft a "2283" model because there would have been an intelligence explosion by then and the resulting agent would have killed us all.

>>12748494
I never said they won't be built. You're absolutely right that we are optimistically several centuries away from megastructures like O'Neil cylinders

>>12748501
You make a fair point

>>12748494
Think of it like this. To build a Mars colony you bury modules in the desert and make concrete/proont/whatever. But either way that’s really it you just have to keep expanding. With an O’Neil cylinder you have to bring an asteroid which weighs hundreds of thousands of tons to a “useful orbit” which is already an insane feat, and then you have to use advanced in space 3D printing which doesn’t exist yet. But I’m most concerned about the face that orbiting colonies have very finite numbers of resources. This is not “The Expanse.” Even our best modern day tech is slow as shit when it comes to interplanetary travel. Worse, you can barely move anything.

Based idea bro. I’ve always wanted a SciFi universe that’s set after stuff like “The Martian” but before “The Expanse.” You know, like how there’s thousands of people on the moon, mars, maybe a few near earth asteroids, but the outer planets are still an untouched wilderness. The only thing I can think of being in this category is something like “Ad Astra,” where Mars colonies have been around for about 30-40 years but we still have yet to send colonists beyond the inner solar system.

LMAO O'Neill butt boys on suicide watch!

Okay, let's look at the builders of the cylinder. How do they profit from doing it? What resources or power do they gain? Rent from inhabitants? How do those people get their living? The void is cruel, there's nothing there. I love space habitats as much as the next guy but planetary surfaces are where it's at. There's simply not nothing on planets and moons and stuff.

Also look at this concept I came up with for a rotating habitat anyway. The walls and ceiling are light field displays so it looks like bright clear skies as far as the eye can see in all directions. You even get a "sun" indistinguishable from the real one and a 24-hour natural day night cycle complete with sunsets. Moving parts are the devil so landing is accomplished on inner surface runways and the whole thibg is thermoregulated via Einstein refrigerators hooked up to goliath heat pipes.

Exactly. Live action Children of a Dead Earth TV series when? Also, Ad astra sucked lol

this but without a dead earth

>"The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is not an instruction manual.
True, it's more like a Bible.
Antispace fags get to suck vacuum for a couple minutes and then go into the recycler.

Ad Astra was meh to me I enjoyed the visuals and spaceflight aspect but the science was crap. Still I really liked the setting and I thought it was Kino at times. Anyhow seriously a series set 30 years after the first mars colonies were started would be amazing. Mars would be too young to be an independent world but there would still be vast wilderness on it. The asteroid belt would be ripe for picking except no one has fusion drives yet so it’s off limits. And the gas giants are still untouched aside from one or two “flags and footprints” missions to Ganymede.

>How do they profit from doing it? What resources or power do they gain?
A station like that would be there to house a city of personnel and their families to do certain tasks like maintaining the magnetosphere generator that protects them and Mars's atmosphere that said station is attached to. It would be a company space city in practical usage
Building miniature O'Neill cylinders to be the core of a colony ship for when interstellar probes find habitable or easily terraformable worlds and want to strike it out in another system is another reason to do so as it'll be that with a reliable breeder reactor, some armor, a shuttle dock and a plasma sail/ propulsion engine, and probably some generalist wildlife embryos for a DIY ecosystem

>>12748541
he's not antispace, he's antiretard ;)

>>12748544
Even forgiving the realism sins I just thought the characters were unrelatable and their motivations shaky.
But yeah, nuclear thermalpunk or realistic fusionpunk is the way to go. Imagine what the Expanse would be like if Holden yelled "punch it!" and then thirty seconds after after Alex gunned the throttle various coffee mugs and shit could be seen lazily inching towards the aft bulkhead... telling realistic speculative spaceflight stories is going to likely be a lot more like Das Boot than it is The Expanse.

NSWRs and LSWRs could get you legitimate high acceleration long duration burns, but more like 1g for 5 days rather then 5g for 30 days
