>>15317396
Since youre asking right now, why is it important to have an anon explain what Tsiolkovsky’s equation is over the internet when ChatGPT and Wikipedia exist and immediatly makes you asking that question irrelevant if not in person.

ChatGPT) “The Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, also known as the ideal rocket equation, is a fundamental equation in rocket science that describes the motion of a rocket in terms of the amount of propellant it carries and its exhaust velocity. The equation expresses the relation between the mass of the rocket, the speed it needs to reach, the efficiency of the rocket engine, and the amount of propellant it must carry to achieve the desired speed. The significance of the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation lies in its role as a theoretical framework that allows engineers and scientists to design and optimize rocket propulsion systems for various missions, including space exploration, satellite launches, and interplanetary travel. It is a key tool for understanding the trade-offs between rocket mass, fuel efficiency, and mission performance.”

How can a businessman be so oblivious to garbage tier marketing/profiling? No one who doesn't spend a significant amount of time thinking about them can remember the distinction between those two.

sure you could
they bring in hydrogen and went out carbon in form of methane into space
if they vented out CO2, they would need to bring a lot of heavier oxygen - 4 g/mole vs 32g/mole of carbon

thats a big satellite

SOLAR SYSTEM COLONIZATION PLAN:

Steps)
1. Get Starship operational
2. Set up outpost on Moon ice caps (data already known)
3. Set up outpost on Martian poles
4. Harvest water-ice for electrolysis
5. Make LOx from electrolysis and refuel for Ceres/Callisto
6. Send probe to Ceres to scout for best outpost spot
7. Set up outpost on Ceres
8. Check for underwater ocean/water ice for electrolysis
9. Harvest/transpot water-ice for electrolysis
10. Use JUICE and Europa Clipper to investigate landing and settlement sites on Callisto for water ice.
11. Set up outpost on Callisto
12. Harvest water-ice for electrolysis
13. Make LOx from electrolysis of water
14. Transport methane all the way along to use
15. Blast off to Titan
16. Set up outpost near methane lake
17. Set up outpost on Enceladus to transport water-ice for processing
18. Harvest liquid methane from lakes
19. Create LOx and prepare to move fuel around the entire system
20. Completely automate Starship movements/set up/landings
21. Go wherever you want now, lakes of fuel and fully reusable rocket with multiple LOx plants around the entire solar system

reminder about the best image AI

>Elon Musk had always been an eccentric figure. From founding PayPal to revolutionizing the automobile industry with Tesla, he had always pushed the boundaries of what was possible. But now, he had set his sights on something even more audacious - landing his Starship rocket on the headquarters of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in Washington D.C.

It was a bold move, and one that had shocked the world. The FAA was responsible for regulating and overseeing all air and space travel in the United States, and its headquarters were heavily guarded. But Elon was undeterred. He believed that the FAA was stifling innovation and progress, and he was determined to make a statement.

The night of the landing attempt, the world held its breath. The Starship rocket blasted off from its launch pad in Texas, hurtling towards the east coast at incredible speeds. As it approached D.C., the FAA scrambled to defend their headquarters. They deployed fighter jets, surface-to-air missiles, and every other weapon at their disposal.

But Elon was not deterred. He had equipped the Starship with advanced sensors and navigational systems, allowing it to evade the FAA's defenses with ease. It weaved through the air, dodging missiles and bullets, and finally descended towards the FAA building.

The FAA guards were in a state of panic. They had never faced an attack like this before, and they were outmatched. But they refused to back down. They fired their weapons at the Starship, trying to bring it down.

Generate a mining colony in the asteroid belt pls

>>15318124
yeah
and mimas isn't a moon

The FAA guards were in a state of panic. They had never faced an attack like this before, and they were outmatched. But they refused to back down. They fired their weapons at the Starship, trying to bring it down. Elon remained calm, cool, and collected. He expertly piloted the Starship, bringing it down on the roof of the FAA building with a gentle thud. The guards were stunned. They had expected a catastrophic explosion, but instead, the Starship had landed as smoothly as a feather. Elon emerged from the Starship, clad in his signature SpaceX suit. He strode towards the entrance of the FAA building, his head held high. The guards tried to stop him, but he brushed them aside with ease. He entered the building, determined to make his point.
>Inside the building, chaos reigned. The FAA officials were scrambling to figure out what to do. They had never faced a threat like this, and they were unsure how to proceed. But Elon had a plan. He approached the head of the FAA, a stern-faced man with a buzz cut. "Listen," Elon said. "I'm not here to hurt anyone. I'm here to make a point. The FAA is stifling progress and innovation, and that needs to change. I'm willing to work with you to find a way forward, but we need to start thinking outside the box."
>The FAA head was taken aback. He had expected a hostile takeover, not a rational discussion. But he was also a practical man. He knew that Elon Musk was not someone to be taken lightly.

>"Alright," the FAA head said. "Let's talk."
>And so, in the hours that followed, Elon Musk and the FAA officials discussed the future of space travel. They explored new technologies, new ideas, and new ways of thinking. And in the end, they came to a mutual understanding.

>Elon Musk had made his point. He had shown that the old ways of thinking were no longer enough. But he had also shown that progress could only be made through cooperation and collaboration.

>>15318154
> manned trips to the outer planets on Hohmanns with methalox

>As the sun rose over Washington D.C., the Starship rocket remained parked on the roof of the FAA building, a symbol of the new era of space travel that was to come. And Elon Musk walked out of the building, a smile on his face, knowing that he had accomplished something truly remarkable.

If you're going to spend all that energy to electrolyze water, you might as well make the methane as well. If you can't find any form of carbon onsite then you could bring graphite which is much easier to transport than methane.

That plotline was clearly a reference to Gags Newell's obsession with playtesting. The team had gotten most of the way along with building F-Stop, a prequel to Portal set in 70s Aperture featuring Cave Johnson, but Gabe kept making them test and retest and eventually scrapped the whole thing. They quickly hacked together Portal 2 using the assets from F-Stop.

>Nuclear: As with hydroelectricity, the EROI estimates for nuclear power span a very large range. Some claim that the EROI is actually less than 1—which would mean that the whole process is not a source of energy, but rather a sink—whereas others (such as the World Nuclear Association, an industry group) estimate that the EROI is much higher than perhaps any other source of energy, around 40 to 60 when using centrifuge enrichment. I drew on a paper that reviewed many studies, and estimated the EROI to be 5. Lenzen, “Life cycle energy and greenhouse gas emissions of nuclear energy: A review,” Energy Conversion and Management (2008) (link).
