Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.10.23 16:19:00 - [1] After this piece is out on. This may be a sign that we're starting to really get serious about space exploration especially if they're looking to test a way to fix shuttles in space. Give this station another ten years and it just might look like something you see in sci-fi that regular people can visit as well. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive
Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2007.10.23 16:24:00 - [2] Until we can find a better method of propulsion than liquid fuelled rockets, it will remain very expensive for anyone to enter space. I have higher aspirations for the plans to colonize our moon, as this brings us one step closer to colonizing other worlds.
Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.10.23 16:35:00 - [3] That could be step 2 of the process. If we can build a station that is capable of creating a larger craft that normally can't leave Earths orbit then we could use it to shuttle a large amount of supplies to the moon. But you are right about finding a different fuel source. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive

Fusion and so on. Of course, we have hyperspace travel and warp drives, you just don't know about it. I was trying to find specific projects, but I couldn't find anything, although I found this program. Originally by: CCP Wrangler Second, a gentile is a non jewish person
Sharupak Minmatar Knights Of the Black Sun Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.10.23 17:44:00 - [5] I know its not that fast yet, but that ion propulsion engine looks to be pretty promising. I used to work in IT at a satellite tracking facility. I used to talk to the ops bosses all the time along with the orbitologist (funny thing though as he was thought to be incompetent at his job...had a degree in paleontology shrug) he said when they did a burn for course correction or orbit change, the thrusters bursted not much more than a can of hairspray. So whatever we decide to use, its not like it has to be a jet engine or something. When you are talking decades to get to a destination, whats a couple of weeks to get up to speed. _______________________________________________ RuntimeError: ChainEvent is blocking by design, but you're block trapped.

How can you make a cable that strong without too much thickness and then what is the space end of it attached too? Wouldnt the wieght of the cable pull whatever its attached too down to earth? The idea has always interested me but I dont know how it works. _______________________________________________ RuntimeError: ChainEvent is blocking by design, but you're block trapped.

No cables per sT, its a solid core structure with maglev outer moving station. its situated on the Equator with a counter weight at the end.

I wonder if you built to many, if it would slow the earths rotation down considerably. I guess they would have to be some big ****in counterwieghts. _______________________________________________ RuntimeError: ChainEvent is blocking by design, but you're block trapped.

Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2007.10.23 19:17:00 - [14] Originally by: Sharupak Originally by: Xen Gin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_elevator Very cool... I wonder if you built to many, if it would slow the earths rotation down considerably. I guess they would have to be some big ****in counterwieghts. The only way one would see a noticable reduction in angular momentum is if the objects were of significant mass. Seeing as most of the Earth's mass is comprised of relatively useless material, that would never go into the construction of such a device, it is unlike to happen. As for the previous question, no, the top of such an elevator would not be drawn in by the Earth's gravity, much like satilletes are able to maintain orbit over a single point on the Earth. Think satilette with a tether so something can climb up to it.

With the Orbital tether, you could build ships in space that could be used to move on to other planets without having to worry about getting through Earth's atmosphere.
