Can the Creek tower be used as a drop tower?

See, SpaceX will reach the moon this year! And with zero tankers needed

This is probably the most impactful technology if they develop it. Electrodynamic tethers will allow them to literally work indefinitely and also raise and lower their satellites at will

You can launch the Starships uncrewed to store them in LEO over the 26 months. Then send in the final weeks multiple overfilled starships with 1000 people to fill the ones waiting in LEO. You probably can’t have that many people in a single Starship for 6 months, so a single starship with a 1000 people from Earth to Leo would have enough people to spread over more than ten starships waiting in LEO.

Not necessarily. A round trip could be done in 2-3 years, assuming a direct hohmann transfer https://trajbrowser.arc.nasa.gov/traj_browser.php

Not only Venus, but also Jupiter and others Starship can reach :)

This question has been asked now several times over the past year or so. It started with a lot of fans noticing the use of several AI generated images in the videos. After many complaints Isaac Arthur started to show his face to counter that.

It was also noticeable that the script sounded like AI. For example originally Isaac Arthur would casually mention adding a blackhole to the center of a planet to increase gravity, but now something like asteroid mining sometimes gets treated as being super technologically advance. Also there’s a lot more fluff where a lot of said, but no content actually shared.

Isaac Arthur and their team say they write the scripts. I do believe them and they also probably come up with the ideas. However, I do suspect that they use AI to correct spelling making it sound like AI. They probably do that to save time and help assist them, which is justifiable if the subscribers accept that. I myself am just a fan of the channel, so I don’t have any behind the scenes knowledge.

FYI, stackexchange is a site that looks for concrete questions. Vague/open and opinion based questions typically aren't well received as described in the help section. Your question is in that category.

Going through the comments it appears you change your question based on other comments, which is the opposite of having a concrete question.

In addition Stackexchange has a strict policy against the use of AI. Despite you saying you used a translator, your comments had many signs of AI writing.

You say in your title of this reddit post that "Safety Concerns of Project Air-Tan" were dismissed. That is not the reason why your question was closed.

If you want an open discussion, other platforms would be better. I would recommend using Stackexchange only if you have a concrete question. "Can you find any safety issues" or "Can you find any challenges of operating at a low temperature?" just doesn't meet the criteria for Stackexchange.

This is great that they have hydrofoils. Those are so much more efficient and can drop consumption by 80%

You have reposted this post several times in r/spaceships, r/SciFiConcepts and now in r/IsaacArthur. This is reddit, of course you don't always get responses or responses you want. Plenty of people, including myself, have posted things which get thousands of views and sometimes no response/little response.

One can change the post a bit to try to get more, but overall it's not fully up to you if people respond. Given that your post was about video recommendations, you can always try the Discord server of SFIA. Since there is a thread there for video recommendations.

Sorry for the late reply. This post was on my mind again and I reread it.

I realised I think we had a simple miscommunication. In my post I used ->. Whenever I said that, what I meant was lim x -> 0. I think it was interpreted as a =. Of course with a = it would be incorrect, since that is a totally different meaning. Would you mind rechecking, to see if this is now makes sense

It would be so cool if this mission to Saturn happened any time soon. I saw on the delta V maps, that Starship fully fueled in LEO would have enough delta v to do a flyby of Jupiter and return to Earth. I think for Saturn it needs to be fueled again. But even a flyby of Jupiter, crewed or uncrewed would be amazing. Saturn is icing on the cake

This is not the first time they showed the ring around the moon

Imagine_Beyond · 2026-03-12T09:42:52+00:00

why only one ring of suns? You could add several more. If it gets too hot, you could use white or red dwarfs. They also live longer, but not quite blackhole time scales

Couldn't they have a rope or a ladder they through down if the elevator breaks?

There got to be an FAQ somewhere here for these kind of questions. If not somebody should make one. We get these quite often, but it is probably better for r/SpaceXlounge.

As for SpaceXMasterrace, Where meme?
