If the ring were large enough there could sort of appear to be a horizon, because past a certain distance atmospheric scattering would obscure your view. As the ring curved up and away enough you'd be looking at it through less atmosphere so it would be highly visible.

Beyond a certain distance (depending on the atmosphere) it the surface and sky would appear to blend together into a fog. Then you'd see the distant curve of the ring emerging above the fog as it reached high enough in the sky that you were viewing it through less atmosphere.
Kind of like pic related but over a much larger distance.

Billionaire Elon Musk Raises $1.9 Billion In New Funding For SpaceX
The funding comes just after SpaceX completed its most high-profile mission yet: In May, the company sent a NASA crew to the International Space Station, marking the first crewed orbital flight from American soil since 2011.

Future contracts will pay for his current spending, else wouldn't of gotten this far.

Human eyes are logarithmic, in that much dimmer things don't actually seem that much less visible. For instance, an electrically lit room is lit by around 25 watts per square meter, wheras the sun on a bright day is around 1360 watts per square meter, a 50 something times decrease, and yet things are perfectly visible in a room lit by a lightbulb.
Pluto is around 30AU away from the Sun, so it's gonna be 1/30^2 times as bright, or 1/900. If you gave your eyes time to adapt, you'd be able to see Pluto, just about, though in terms of colour vision you won't catch much.

The steel is a couple hundred thousand tops, steel is cheap as fuck, three raptors are six million combined and they're getting cheaper all the time as production continues to accelerate.

SpaceX employs 8000 people with avg pay of ~60K that's 480M in employee pay per year.

Starlink sat + launch costs spacex ~30 million, as per spacex talks. They launched 14 starlink in 2020. That's 30 million x 14 = 420 million.

Thats close to a billion in 2020 with just employees and starlink launch costs. There's also recurrent facility maintenance/rent/utility costs that would probably be close to $100M-$300M. Then there's R/D money for Starship/Starlink/Raptors, tooling money for all their tools, money for all the 50+ Raptor engines, etc.

They don't bring in much money. Starlink wont get their full return back for years. Starship money wont be recouped for few years. Musk said Starship R/D would costs ~2-10 billion. Starlink would costs another similar level of investments. The money they would make back would be years away. For now, they're bleeding.

Starlink launch cost is going to be a large chunk based on wages for man hours
So you can’t just add them

There’s a reason they have located their floor space in very cheap locations
Boca Chica had nothing there, literally vacant lots, that’s cheap

Falcon 9 will have more cost in materials and fuel than Starship does, for sure.

Larry niven’s ringworld has a circumference of 600,000,000 miles and a width of 1,000,000 miles. There is also an inner ring with alternating dark rectangles that also rotate to simulate a day/night cycle.

Basically, his ringworld has the same radius between its sun as earth does from sol, 100,000,000 miles.

I think the ringworld wouldn’t have a visible horizon, it’d just appear flat and the maximum viewing distance would be determined by atmospheric haze. Then in the sky there would appear a hyperboloid

The far side would be 1 million miles wide and 200 million miles away. The same angle can be imagined standing at one end of a football field and seeing something half a yard long, like the length of a persons forearm; a cubit.

Would water pressure be as bad on Europa or does the low gravity make it less of a problem?

[Anonymous No.12679544]

Probably not, the lack of sunlight and all the life that comes with it means Europa must rely on volcanic vents and perhaps some materials that work their way down through the ice, but it would still be very minor.

I know it isn’t very interesting, but life in Europa is probably just bacteria or at best small blind creatures similar to krill.

[Anonymous No.12679545]
