I agree on the moon though. I think we should prioritize Mars but realistically set up a moon base while we are getting ready. Lots of tourism potential. A two week vacation on the moon is an easier sell than roughly a year minimum on a Mars trip and that's if you don't stay long.
This is ignoring that nuclear will invariably have a worse mass fraction and thrust to weight ratio making the comparison even worse.
It all annoys me, we need better materials.
Nuclear isn't as attractive as I would wish. Efficiency is driven by exhaust velocity which is in turn a function of exhaust particle mass and temperature. Temperature is limited by material science, you can't melt your engines, so the only dial you can turn is particle mass. With nuclear you can use pure hydrogen (H2) instead of H2O for a chemical hydrolox engine. So atomic mass of ≈ 2 instead of 18.
That is a factor of 9. But temperature is kinetic energy so solving e=1/2 m*v^2 for velocity is v is going to result in a square root of mass. Sqrt(9) = 3. So the best nuclear can do is 3 times more efficient than chemical. Actually it isn't even that good because we don't burn hydrolox engines at stoichiometric fuel ratios. We burn fuel rich to lower the average atomic mass of the fuel. I.E. we expell unburnt H2. So the actual nuclear benefit is about 2x in theory.
Yup. You can't just do the same thing a different way. You need to do something completely new, preferably by removing steps. Kind of like how Amazon allows us to shop without the bother of going to the store.
Moon first or Mars first? Or maybe the super rare Sedna first-er. I've never actually heard anything other than Moon, Mars, or Orbit but who knows on Nostr.
I've been here for over a year now and still don't know anyone's opinion on space colonization. Bitcoin is pointless if we can't use it to acquire cheap passage to Mars from seedy characters.
Message decoded. But what is "tik hy ut egd ak or ok"?
Bring on the age of abundance and a time that 6'4" frames can enjoy a good soak. Out with the European fixed pie mentality.
Only its prime factorization includes primes other than 2 and 5.
That is just the trouble. Putin is at home. He doesn't have to go fight. And my pronouns are numerator/denominator
No? What are we scoring the game in? Is there a Bitcoin based consumer price index?
Things like this are not true until plebs get paid in Bitcoin and buy groceries in Bitcoin.
Absolutely this! What we could do with our current technology on a clean design is a far cry from what we are doing. So much buffering just because we can't put data where it goes in the first place.
Yeah, this is what I was thinking of doing. Probably with wire guard. I haven't ever used nginx though. How much vps do you need to route a gigabit? Do you do filtering at your vps? Packet inspection?
This is stuff you host from home?
I am getting fiber tomorrow and trying to figure out the pitfalls of self hosting any thing. I am guessing if I make any DNS records that point to my home IP I am going to get hammered.
Why do we eat bananas?
I've had amazing apples, peaces so good you have to share, and strawberries that taste like a slice of the beatific vision, but I've only ever eaten an acceptable banana. "Ok" is the best that they can do.
Once again rust is the correct answer. If you want to be able to program using the color of your walls, you are stuck with Rust, Ruby, or Perl.
Yeah! I am counting on them to send me Satoshis and cucumbers in my old age.
