Lets review some facts about SpaceX and Mars "colonization."
>Mars has essentially no atmosphere, meaning that everyone will have to live underground or indoors. This will take THOUSANDS OF YEARS to change assuming full efforts at terraforming. No water or plant life will happen on the surface for THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
>Mars has 0.37g's of gravity at its surface. People WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE on the surface of Mars. Martians will have to have children only on rotating space stations in Mars orbit, and those children MUST grow up on the station or they will be permanently deformed.
>SpaceX's entire system relies on using a "propellant plant" that doesn't exist, and won't exist until dozens of people are stranded there with no hope of leaving until its built. This propellant plant will require the output of SEVERAL LARGE NUCLEAR REACTORS to fuel even just a couple ships for a return journey. SpaceX claims that they can do it with solar panels (LMAO!)
>SpaceX claims that the LARGEST ROCKET EVER BUILT will not only be cheaper to fly than the smallest orbital rocket ever built, but SIX FLIGHTS will be cheaper than one of the small rocket flights. Anyone with half a brain knows this is horseshit.
>Elon claims that they can make rocket travel "as safe as airliner travel." The safety of rocket travel would have to improve 10,000% to match that of airliners. People ACTUALLY BELIEVE that this is not only realistic, but that it will happen WITHOUT A LAUNCH ESCAPE SYSTEM.

>A hundred megawatts of output is all that's needed for the refueling
Methane contains 55.5 MJ/kg. Electrolysis and the sabatier reaction are fairly efficient, so for simplicity, let's say that 100 MJ/kg of electricity is needed to synthesize it. 240 tonnes of methane is needed to fill the tank to capacity. The oxygen will be produced as a byproduct of the methane synthesis.

So 24 million MJ is required, or 6.7 million kWh. With 26 months between Mars launch windows, that means about 20,000 hours, so around 0.4 thousand kWh per hour, or 400 kW is needed. "A hundred megawatts" is off by orders of magnitude.

Now, what does this means in terms of the hardware required? The average solar irradiance at Mars is about 600 W/m^2, about 44% of what we get above Earth's atmosphere, though Mars's thin, never-cloudy, sometimes-dusty atmosphere blocks less light. For simplicity's sake, we'll estimate that a non-tracking panel on the Mars surface receives an average of 200 W/m^2 (accounting for night and off angles), generates 50 W/m^2 (25% electrical conversion efficiency), and is 10 times the mass per unit power of a typical 20 kg per kilowatt satellite power system in Earth GEO (which is held square to the sun, never experiences night, and is in brighter light).

20,000 m^2 of solar panels is required, a field of 100 x 200 meters, about four football fields: a significant but not daunting deployment task. 200 kg per kilowatt gives us an 80 tonne mass. This fits easily into the capacity of a single BFR, with ample room for other equipment.

However, this assumes that the BFS must be refilled to capacity, when in fact it only need to be refilled enough for the return launch. Applying the rocket equation (to a ~265s average Isp, 6.1 km/s delta-v, and 100 tonne mass at end of departure burn) suggests that, for a typical light return load, the BFS would only need to be filled about halfway (to 41% capacity), halving the power requirement.

The energy requirement is underestimated somewhat, or at least optimistically in the initial step:
>Methane contains 55.5 MJ/kg. Electrolysis and the sabatier reaction are fairly efficient, so for simplicity, let's say that 100 MJ/kg of electricity is needed to synthesize it.

The sabatier reaction requires 50% as much hydrogen, by mass, as the amount of methane produced. Hydrogen's specific energy is 142 MJ/kg, so the ideal cost for sabatier methane (with no recovery of the sabatier reaction's released energy) is 71 MJ/kg. This is under 100 MJ/kg, but we still have to account for the efficiency of the hydrogen electrolysis.

Theoretical efficiencies of hydrogen electrolysis range up over 90%, but practical cells are more usually in the 50-70% range. 71% efficiency would be required to hit 100 MJ/kg, and it might be achievable (current large electrolysis plants achieve 70% efficiency), but it's not a conservative estimate in keeping with the spirit of the analysis. 60% is conservative, and results in about a 20% increased energy requirement. Rounding up brings the required mass of panels from 80 to 100 tonnes to fully refuel one BFS per window, or 50 tonnes to refuel one unloaded BFS per window.

Remember, these are conservative estimates. There are solar panel options that could be much lighter, and easier to deploy. For instance, in 2015 perovskite thin films were demonstrated working with 12% conversion efficiency at 3 microns thick, reducing the required mass by a factor of 100 while also being flexible, permitting roll-out deployment. The entire thing could be deployed as a roll-out mat and simply staked down around the edges. In this case, the whole array might be under a ton.

There are many options between these extremes of the sure-thing conservative option, and cutting-edge ultralight thin films.

Still, from an engineering perspective there's very little about space that makes anything easier there. A bit less air friction (but Mars almost has none anyway), and slightly easier design for the bearings. That's about it.

Everything else is easier on the ground. Repairs, safety, power and thermal management, supplies, personnel rotations, etc. etc. Building a huge space station several hundreds meters in diameter just to generate 1g is a ludicruous idea.

From en engineering perspective it is an order of magnitude easier to build a rotating space station than to build a rotating land base. There is no friction in space. Slightly easier to design bearings? You dont even need bearings iin space.

>Everything else is easier on the ground.

On Earth maybe. Not on Mars, where you need basically what is a space station anyway just to survive. The only advantage of Mars base over a space station is easier access to material resources. But then you dont need to live there permanently to use those resources anyway. Have an industrial base on Mars, but have actual colonists live in cozy 1g rotating space stations.

Setting aside that that's an absolutely huge advantage, decisive by itself, you're only considering one habitat in isolation, and you're assigning no value to the freedom to range out over the Mars surface in vehicles, without spending precious reaction mass.

The ease of building new habitats, and the cost of travelling between them, is incomparable.

>From en engineering perspective it is an order of magnitude easier to build a rotating space station than to build a rotating land base.

It is a decisive advantage in favor of having a mining base on Mars. It is not a decisive advantage in favor of settling on Mars permanently, because then you run into the whole JELLO BABIES (and JELLO ADULTS) issue. A potentially huge disadvantage.

>you're assigning no value to the freedom to range out over the Mars surface in vehicles, without spending precious reaction mass.

Make it a large RV then. There are lots of people who find those permanently habitable... not that it needs to be permanent anyway.

But no space station is permanently habitable on its own either. Even something as small[*] as the ISS with its token crew requires huge resources to remain habitable for even a year. If you put those resources towards building ground facilities you'd probably have a town-sized 1g habitat in a year.

[*] Small compared to a rotating station capable of providing 1g.

>> No.9440204

>>9440096
That's like saying, "a can floating in space is not a permanently habitable colony". It depends on the details.

Picture a triple-wide, two-storey train car. That's a comfortable family home with room for corridors to connect to the car in front and the one in back. Of course, you can scale up arbitrarily.

On Mars, you'd get 1g by travelling at 160 km/h on a 1.35 km banked circular track, at 2 circuits per minute. The air resistance would be negligible and the rolling resistance and vibration can be kept arbitrarily low. It's slow enough that coupling or decoupling (either for transportation, or to add or remove a car without stopping the whole train) with a unremarkable wheeled vehicle would be routine. Power can be supplied by induction through the track.

You can have a domed town in the middle, with gardens, low gravity sports facilities, etc. Windows in the train look up at the town. Signs or a more lavish mechanical arrangement can turn the whole thing into a big clock.

There's no reason to believe that everyone would need or prefer to live in 1g all the time. Even if pregnant women and small children turn out to need it constantly (the least likely scenario), that's only a few years of life, and others can spend plenty of time off of the train.

everyone focuses on Mars for colonization, but for the reasons you stated (especially low gravity) it's a poor candidate for terraforming.

believe it or not, Venus has much better potential, in spite of its current hellscape. all you'd need to do is bombard it with a large amount of hydrogen along with a catalyst, and the Bosch or Sabatier reaction would convert the atmosphere into water and byproduct (graphite/methane). from there, just let it cool down, install some sort of magnetic shielding, and it would be habitable. Venusian surface gravity is 0.9, which is another major point in its favor. apparently, its slow rate of rotation isnt even an issue, since it would increase albedo on the sunside and help regulate the climate.

Look at SpaceX through the lens of a cult such as Scientology, and then you will understand it. Especially look into Elon Musk's crazy plan to install himself as Praetor of Mars and try out all kinds of wacky political ideology. He's taking taxpayer money and fleecing investors so they can essentially become courtesans in his new galactic religion.

You’re incorrect. Rockets and engines in space behave according to Isaac Newton's third law of motion: Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction

Example : If you stand on a skateboard and throw a bowling ball forward, that force will push you and the skateboard back. However, because your weight on the skateboard is heavier than that of the bowling ball, you won't move as far.

The gas can only push on the rocket, if itself, has something external to push off against. The gas doesn't need to push against a vacuum to get out the rocket, it will just equilibrate in all possible directions.
