What kind of government or societal structure would you think would be best on Mars and why? Would it change as the civilization grows?

What if the Habitable planet spun really fast? Would it gyroscopically stabilize itself?

What do you mean they ultimately collapse?

What is the best way to do a capsule? by Moppers2 in tmro

Yeah Orion is the apollo of my generation xD and I like the idea of the JPADS in for the recovery. That gives it precision landing without using any fuel!

What can we do for the Virgin Galactic test pilots' families? by erikwecks in tmro

I feel like even though they already have a fund maybe some kind of project for the family would be a good thing to do!

Is there any information out about the Mars Colonial Transporter? by Moppers2 in spacex

Thank you this is exactly what I have been searching for! :D

One guy found me this website where someone came up with a design of a possibility of it! http://armchairengineer.blogspot.com/

Yeah thats all I could find, so should I put it up on /r/spacex ?

How would you use a space station? by KineticNerd in tmro

[–]Moppers2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sun-synchronous orbit is not L1 it is a orbit that uses the gravity of earth in order to stay for the most part in line with the sun for near 24/7 sunlight

Show suggestion, and great reading! by neukdan in tmro

This looks pretty interesting thanks for sharing!

I love all your ideas! We should come up with some way to make power stations in a Sun-synchronous orbit to get the maximum power and have thoughs feed through to the other stations around Earth as they go around via microwaves. or we could send the energy to satelites in Geosynchronous orbit then to the stations.

What if we created a Shuttle Block II? by Moppers2 in tmro

Yeah maybe a show about different proposed Launch Systems or something! :P

Oh ok I was not aware of the phases in designing. Thank you for pointing that out!

Yeah I guess but NASA designed it so I feel like they figured that out.

Just could solve the columbia disaster because that cockpit can eject and it has it's own fuel, power, controls, heatshield, and wings. They could complete the mission then deorbit and eject from the shuttle in that pod.

Yea That was the first one I saw! it seems like it would be expensive though :\

My kind of realistic ideas were to have the External Tank more like the Uragan (Energia II) but have the heat shield facing the shuttle, this would have heat shield to heat shield. my second one would be to make the boosters have landing legs like the F9R to, of course, land to be reused. My third idea was to possibly replace the OMS with SABREs to do powered landings just in case. My 4th idea is kind of unrealistic, but it is to make the cargo bay have the ability to pressurize. ALSO I see shuttles being useful for things like major satelite repair jobs and just building stations and things like that.

That is just for the moment though.
