The reviewer noted the very rugged body of the car as the only positive aspect in terms of safety. In the test, the passenger dummy was hit by the glove compartment hard enough to risk traumatic brain injury.

WhyteRyce posted:It's 2% bone loss a month in space and the trip is 3 years right? one way trip is a bit over 18 months, so probably ~30% bone loss. ScrubLeague posted:also our niva bought in the mid-90s also eventually acquired the feature where going over 100km/h would fold the driver side outside mirror for improved aerodynamics. there was no passenger side mirror. also, there's no synchroniser for the first gear, so getting it into first can be an experience if you get lucky. still an amazing thing tho. it basically rusted itself apart at a bit over 15 years old, but it did close to 200k km, over half of which was driving through forests.

Travel time each way is about 9 months with a Hohmann transfer orbit, you can do it in a little over 6 months if you're willing to burn more fuel. This is one of the reasons NASA books space station missions to be about 6 months long. Rastor has issued a correction as of 13:20 on Jun 6, 2019 |

Oh oops, yeah i mixed that up sorry. Round trip isn't 18 months tho, since earth's not gonna be there anymore. IIRC the round trip is actually 3 years, since you have to wait at mars for alignment for another hohmann. How much extra dv for a 6 month trip tho? I don't think that's very feasible?

Sorry, speaking only about travel times, not total mission time. The absolute worst radiation and low gravity issues are during the travel. NASA thinks the 6 month trips are feasible, I haven't really read up on it in a while though

not very practical due to the fact that you want to spend as little time as possible on the outer sides of the spacecraft to avoid as much radiation as possible

It would have to be more than 1G as the 1G of Earth would be one of the component vectors of the final vector.

Altered Carbon author Richard K Morgan’s latest Thin Air is set on a Mars not terraformed but with one of the big canyon rifts glassed over, and it’s typically Morgan-bitter about megacorp capitalism running unchecked. The protagonist is a bit Kovacs-with-filed-serial-numbers but I enjoyed it enough.

You keep the protected inner part of the spacecraft specifically for solar storms (which will cook you very quickly).

zegermans posted:Rmeember this lol Apparently they built a tower out of them at the tunnel unveiling. It looks worse than I could have imagined ""The Verge" posted:Part of the plan is to sell bricks — after previewing the bricks made from the dirt the tunnel-boring machines excavated at The Boring Company’s public meeting in May, there’s now a storefront, which is exactly where O’Leary Station is located. Musk has built a Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail-inspired watchtower with these bricks. It sits by the tunnel mouth in the SpaceX parking lot, and just before the event, a man in Monty Python-esque armor did in fact insult me just outside of it. He did not, to my knowledge, fart in my general direction.
