As much as I love super massive sprawling underground tunnel networks how the fuck are they gonna happen on Mars? Those boring machines are like ten times the payload of Starship, right? Am I just misremembering? If not, there's not really any feasible way of making use of them on Mars. You sure as hell aren't gonna be sending it piece by piece and putting it back together on Mars for a while. Even if it were, surely there's no way it would be more effective than just shipping habitats straight there, right?
Also anyone got pics of tunnel cities? Whether it be examples of real life mines or whatever turned into housing or diagrams of theoretical cities or colonies actually comprised of mostly tunnels.

I'm surprised they are saying they are hiring now after 11 years, when the current astronauts don't fly at all. ESA has no manned ships of their own and only has the leftover seats from USA and Russia.

Huygens was highly constrained in mass, likely a US version would have looked much the same.

I kind of agree with this but IIRC there were concerns over using up too much of Cassini's data stream for DL'ing long term data from Titan (and IIRC Casini had to be pointed in a specific way and in a specific orbit to relay Hyugens data anyways) so a long term Hyugens probe would have fucked with Casini's operations too much.

Also launching one RTG is a political nightmare as it is. Launching two RTG's on one spacecraft would have been even more headache.

Personally i'm just glad Hyugens was a thing at all, on any other mission it would have been replaced with some meme instrument of dubious usefulness for making the mission profile too complex.

Cassini-Huygens was a really cool mission. Too bad they had to cut down with the great, large, expensive projects to do anything with the shrinking budgets.

People always say this but when was the last time you turned on CNN/Fox/MSNBC to see them whinging about a probe design incorporating an RTG? Their braindead audience would turn the thing off before they finished explaining what an RTG is.

Very inefficient. I think the maximum conversion efficiency is like 10% thermal to electrical, and radiation damages them, reducing their efficiency further. Turbines for reactors on the other hand are like 33-36% efficient, Thermal to electrical wise. A proper modern Gen4 design could reach 45% Thermal to electrical.

No the opposition to RTG's is more political than a public policy debate type thing.

Interesting. This confirms Starship is designed first and foremost with optimal performance in mind while more or less accepting that the engineering challenges involved will be extreme. Same thing with raptor development:
>During one of these meetings with the Raptor engine team, Musk was pushing back on a decision his team wanted to make that would fractionally reduce the specific impulse (ISP) of the engine
>"That is why we fight for mass, and we fight for every fraction of a second of ISP," he told his team at one point. "Especially with a reusable upper stage, which nobody has ever succeeded in. Just FYI.
>As he delivered this little speech to his engineers, Musk's mood steadily mellowed. Soon, he was joking with the team. His point had been made. Yes, he understood what he was asking of them. It was damned hard. It would hurt their brains. It hurt his. But they had no choice but to push through the engineering challenges.

Yeah but it is far more important in space than it is on Earth. Here you have at least a constant battle against gravity when you are moving around, giving you automaticaly a bit of cardio and perpetual maintainance of muscle+bone mass.

In space, moving around is so easy, atrophy sets in AND there is a loss of stamina.

So Starship requires treadmills/bikes and a multifunctional all in one machine to hit all major muscle group area's by enabling overhead and bench presses, squats and deadlifts, rows and curling. Rubber bands are a meme and arent sufficient in that regard.

Hey bros
Found a bunch of astrology books from mid-50’s to 60’s with a bunch of local newspaper articles from the time.
Decided to share some of the interesting things from the past.
Translated: ”The moon isn’t one colour. Moscow 19.5.59 The moon isn’t monochrome like some scientist believe, but we can see different colours like red, brown, yellow, green and blue in all shades, mentiones the leader of Harkov observatory, professor Nikolai Barabashov. ”
”He rejects the theory of the lunar surface being buried under a layer of volcanic ash and cosmic dust. Instead on the surface of this celestial body would be a layer of sand a few centimetres thick.
Even in the small craters of the moon, whose radius would be less than 50km we can observe different colours. The walls of the crater are reddish, but on the bottom we can see touches of blueish green, the professor states.”
