shamelesly reposting my post>

what do you guys think we could see for 0g sports/physical activity

i think this will be inmensely profitable once its more or less possible to send people into space.

both for people just wanting to pay to experience it and for the inmense interest it could spawn from the earth.

my favorite one is this:

if there was a swimming pool on the moon you could swim fast enough to jump out of the water like a dolphin , imagine doing this in a semi buried semi domed spa, you jump out of a big pool and see the earth in the distance trough the domed sky.

even people who dont give a shit about spacewill pay for this

thats my main one but i can also think of these:

-0g 3d soccer/handball softball rugby, whatever
ball combination you can think

-0g ballet-artistic dance, holy shit imagine the artistic possibiliteis

-0g erotic dance, holy shit imagine the tit jiggling possibilities, also, on a 0g spherical enclosure you could ejaculate from one end and have the girl catch it with her mouth 300 meters away from you, or maybe even open up her pussy and get impregnated in the most awesome way ever, or catch it mid air.

-0g running

-0g FIGHTING/BOXING/MMA god ddamit imagine the possibilities

and imagine all of the previous options with particular variations for each range of g 0 to 0.1 .1 to .3 .3 to .5 .5 to .8 .8 to 1 and why not sports with more than one g. all of this both in rotating habitats and different bodies. Imagine 2g boxing, that would be brutal.

how about a bodybuilding station with perfect oxygen mix and constant 1.5g all of the time for better musclement

imagine fucking having wings like an angel that work due to low gravity.

what excites you about these possibilities? and which ones do you think will come first?

Pole Cube.
Dueling sport where your weapon is a 12ft pole, and the stage is a big cube. Earn points by making contact with your opponent using the designated striking end of the pole. Contact between poles is acceptable, but contacting your opponent with the non-striking part of the pole or your any part of your body is penalized.

I haven't thought of a better name for it.

If you assume a mission cost of $150 million (about one CRS launch) and the non-launch budget were $100 million it would put the cost on par with the Lion King remake or Harry Potter 6, tied with those two for 16th place on the most expensive movies scoreboard.

One of the first things they're gonna do is set up a global GPS constellation with hardware heavily based on Starlink, probably with a single launch, maybe even using Falcon Heavy, in order to get very accurate target positioning on the ground for future Starship pinpoint landings. High bandwidth will be a secondary benefit. They'll also probably end up selling a good chunk of that bandwidth to NASA and other space agencies operating on and around Mars, scratching yet another thing off the list of activities in space that retards have always claimed would never be something a private company would do.

You would really only need like 3-6 sats in areostationary orbit to have Earth comms 24/7. There won't be any need for a Starlink like network on Mars for a long time. Mars-Mars comms will be mostly local and ground based for a long while, and latency for areostationary sats will only have about a 1 second delay for comms between different outposts.
There's no benefit to having a Starlink type constellation as far as Mars-Earth comms are concerned.

Well yes I suppose if they were to combine the GPS and communications satellites into one that would make sense.
Though I think you might still want an aerostationary network for redundancy. Having a fixed point in the sky to aim a dumb dish at is more rugged and reliable to those on the ground than the automated tracking antennas that Starlink needs.

Nah, Starship has enough gas in the tanks when full to go straight from Mars' surface to Earth intercept, no problem.
I agree that Phobos and Deimos will be super useful of course, just not as propellant depots. Rather, they will serve as a perfect proving ground for milli-g mining operations required for exploiting asteroid resources, and later as a gigantic reserve of raw materials already just sitting in perfect equatorial Mars orbits.

Hey asshole, it's going to have FULL tanks sitting on Mars because they're going to be making propellant there for it to refill with. Also the surface of Mars is easier to get to in terms of delta V than the surface of the Moon anyway, because the intercept burns are nearly identical and you hardly need to slow down propulsively at Mars at all, whereas at the Moon you need to capture and land using pure rocket power only, no aerobraking.

This, the great filter is probably the fact that most planets smaller than Earth probably form too close to their home stars to be feasibly accessed because big delta V to intercept and no atmosphere to brake with (mercury) and any planet bigger than Earth is even harder to launch from.
>but what about big moons
Earth's big ass moon seems to be a major anomaly and we can't count on it being a standard or even somewhat common thing to have. If our own moon were tiny or non existent, the nearest moon-sized object would be Callisto, and it's too far to feasibly reach with reusable rocket technology even if you assume high performance NTR is available.

Basically we got really good RNG with this star system and we need to take advantage of that fact.

Earth's moon is anomalous among planets as a whole but probably not among planets that support complex life.

No that'd be shit. Venus is about as hard to escape as Earth, just from gravitational forces alone. Mars if put as close to the Sun as Venus would be very dry and have no atmosphere, it'd be pretty much impossible to contemplate serious manned missions at all with any realistic technology. Swapping Mars and Venus may leave us with a possibly habitable Venus, but that's not what we want anyway. We want a mid to low gravity world with lots of ices and a thin atmosphere with tiny low gravity moons orbiting it, pretty please, because we want to be able to focus efforts from our home world to colonizing this new world in order to let us go a step beyond and colonize literally everything else from there.

Multicellularity likely evolved multiple times even on Earth. It is not some kind of statistical rarity at all.

If there is a Great Filter, then it is likely either origin of life being extremely rare, or origin of intelligence being extremely rare.

>How?
Generalists anon, generalists. Multicellular life on Earth evolved over hundreds of millions of years of the rotational axis being more or less where it is today, which means that a good amount of complex plants and animals are highly adapted to their specific climate conditions. On a world where the degree of axial tilt can vary over a few million years between close to zero and close to 45 degrees, these hyper specialized organisms simply wouldn't evolve in niches where they couldn't be mobile enough to migrate to better areas or simply be generalistic enough to hunker down and survive. In fact, a rapidly changing environment is what lead directly to the evolution of humans from less intelligent apes, because as Africa dried up and we were forced out of the trees, we were also forced to use our brains to think of more efficient and effective ways of gathering food. Fast forward a few hundred thousand years and we're jerking off to giant anime tits on fictional 12 year olds.
I defy anyone to tell me that rats and dandelions could not survive on a planet with a variable climate.

Oh, also, while rotational axis certainly matters a lot for our planet's climate specifically, it'd have less effect the more surface area was covered in water and the denser the atmosphere. For planets orbiting lower mass stars than the Sun, with much shorter years, rotational axis matters even less, because even if it were tilted by 90 degrees the planet would have sunlight falling on every square kilometer of land every few weeks, for a few weeks. Also at some point the tidal effects of the star have the same effect of stabilizing rotational axis anyway, and planets around red dwarf stars locked in 3:2 orbital resonances could end up with a 100 hour long stellar day-night cycle that would be stable for hundreds of billions of years.

Basically stop thinking that having a big moon is the only way to solve the problem, or that the problem would even BE a problem.

Life starting isn't the process I'm talking about, I'm talking about the process that produces complex life. You could potentially have the necessary conditions for life to start all over the solar system, but it took perfect conditions and billions of years to end up with complex motile life.

You realize our planet didn't need conditions to be any worse than they already were to have massive periodic swings in climate, right?

3D Rollerskating in a 0 to low-G centripetal gravity wheel.
You would have wheels above and below the shoes plus on a hooky hand.
The centripetal gravity is only needed so you can jump and convert that effort into speed on a slope. With enough speed you would fly toward the 0-G center of the space-skatepark, up there you would use your hand-hook to grab a metal bar and follow it as it turn around, with inertia guiding you. Done right you could swirl around it regardless.

I imagined it once for a SF I had in mind.
Only problem with it is that you would easily get enough speed to kill yourself.

Mars and the Moon are the two best places and despite being farther away Mars has distinct advantages in its more complete resource profile and ability to aerocapture/aerobrake. You'd be taking out the best option.

Also just to point out, even if Venus had most of the CO2 frozen out of its atmosphere from being further away from the Sun, it would still have a gratuitously thick atmosphere that, at best, would suck to live with

Mao shouldn't have listened to Stalin when trying to replace the writing with Latin alphabet. Stalin literally said that all great civilizations have their own writing, Mao listened to the advice, and now they have a huge problem with this, unlike Vietnamese for example. The language itself is dead simple, it's the writing that is hard.

You have to be kidding me. I remember when they first launched the Tiangong-2. The broadcast was translated in realtime to perfect English, Russian, Japanese, and several other languages, which is extremely unusual for chinks. It's clear they care a lot, they just aren't experienced in PR. Their unmanned program (Chang'e mostly so far) is also very transparent, they even have a public archive much like PDS archive of NASA/JPL, I distinctly remember Emily Lakdawalla of Planetary Society developing Yutu RAWs from the source.

>Is the inflatable part ablative?
The whole point of making an inflatable decelerator is to decelerate the craft (due to the increased ballistic coefficient), to make a shallow reentry, and to lower the peak heating. It's a decelerator, not a head shield. Besides defying the main point, you simply can't make it ablative I think. Only the nose can be made ablative, like a traditional heatshield. The rest is polymer. (kevlar or something like that)

The downside is that controlling this thing for accurate landings is much harder. I wonder what they're going to do about this.

Not that guy, but three months in microgravity has no permanent downsides with modern preventative measures. Why you would take the known downsides of increased rad dose over that is beyond me, but no space agency would take that tradeoff anyway so it doesn't matter.

Out of curiosity, you obviously aren't doing your burn in meatspin configuration, so you have to somehow rendezvous while on your Mars insertion trajectory. Is that even feasible?

>so you have to somehow rendezvous while on your Mars insertion trajectory. Is that even feasible?
Yeah, it's actually pretty easy in principal. You'd depart at the same time, at a standoff distance of ten kilometers for example, then after a few minutes of coasting to get your trajectory data you'd make some fine adjustments to set up a rendezvous for a few hours from then. Once you have approached you just go ahead and set everything up.

SpaceX already wants to do highly elliptical Earth-orbit rendezvous and docking, and fundamentally it's the same problem as rendezvous and docking on a hyperbolic trajectory.

Cool, how much does three years' supply cost, weigh, and how much volume does it take up? Does it go bad exposed to radiation for three months in transit?

There's no such thing as "just buying engines" when it comes to NASA though. On top of that Raptors are LOX/Methane eaters, so you'd have to completely redesign whatever stage you attach them to to accept that propellant. J2-X eats LOX/LH2, so it's tankage is designed to store that. I do definitely think building better designed cheap and reusable engines is a better strategy than building hyper-autistically complicated "formula one" LOX/LH2 barely refurbishable engines to absolutely maximize ISP at the cost of everything else, but I don't buy that it will boil down to "just give SpaceX a monopoly on rocket engines by using Raptor for everything"

imagine trying to do science on the ISS while Tom Cruise bounces vibrating everything while trying to do action sequences. Also his nose is going to be stuffed the entire time... not that I don't think it's cool to see more civilian space travel, but this seems like a poorly formed idea

I read that Cruise goes to the extreme to do his movies, including HALO jumping and climbing the Burj Khalifa. I guess with the right movie he's willing to actually go to space to do it. And why not? Private/commercial spaceflight is opening up and he's getting too old to make use of his fortune, might as well as spend it on crazy shit.

He'd need to have access to the earth based training facilities with suits, pools, replicas of the structure he would interact with and all this shit for months and months of repetitions for whatever could go wrong. Yeah I'm not sure NASA would squander a real astronaut place for an actor even if I have no doubts he would do it. It could be a possibility if the US government had plans to really expand the space program and use this movie as a PR stunt and recruitment tool, not unlike what they are doing with movies like Top Gun or shows like Stargate.

>Space Force is a workplace comedy series that centers on a group of people tasked with establishing the sixth branch of the United States Armed Forces, the United States Space Force.

Sounds like it's just going to be a reboot of The Office.

Yeah, and that's assuming that you accept the retards in New York's inflated numbers, while the more realistic estimate is something like .03% mortality. And THAT's assuming you ignore the fact that all of the "experts" have magically recorded nearly zero flu deaths in spite of this year's flu season being quite severe, which means that on average at least a third of those deaths ought to be from the flu.

there were Lavochkin's NTU and Langley's HIAD before that
what's interesting about this flying condom is that it doesn't seem to have an ablative nosecone, at least if the rendering looks close to the real thing. they probably aim very high for this to work, making the entry very shallow

>inflated numbers
numbers are at least 100 times lower than they are, and dont forget that because of hospital collapse deaths unrelated to corona are also increasing, between 10 and 100 times also, why do you think medical workers are kililng themselves. with no vaccines this is a civilization collapse scenario, the quarantine is to give them time to think
