Moon, Mars & other proposed space habitats in our solar system can receive the energy from space-based solar power

[edit]

In regards to colonizing the solar system, space-based solar power will make Mars & the Moon habitable along with other proposed space habitats in our solar system.

Added Project Orion / Nuclear Pulse Propulsion to the list of unconventional launch options

[edit]

The other low cost unconventional launch options involve substantial technological advances, I thought it worth adding a reference to Project Orion (nuclear populsion), as this came close to being built in the 1950s - a working model which used conventional explosives was successfully flown, and successful tests of engineering structures which could withstand a close proximity nuclear explosion were conducted. The Project Orion (nuclear propulsion) was finally abandoned due to the signing of the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, and growing concern about atmospheric Nuclear fallout -- Eric Worrall - 2013-08-06

Grammar

[edit]

In the second paragraph there is a bit that says "none are economically viable". "None" is a singular term so it should read "none is economically viable". Call me a pedant!

commercial system. Because of cost considerations this new system illustrated in figure 14 must be designed and operated in a manner to greatly reduce transportation costs. The approach to achieving this goal involves total reusability and a high utilization rate of the space transportation system in a manner similar to commercial aircraft operations." Page 13

  • I don't have time to dive into this now, but shared it around a bit, and i guess found the "breadcrumb trail" of sorts. I may get around to it later, but feel free to dive into this!

requesting review of a draft article

[edit]

Hello, today I wrote and submitted for review a draft article about the European Space Agency's "SOLARIS" SBSP project. It is here: User:Ennegma/sandbox. The notification says that queue is about 4 months long, so I was wondering whether there was anyone here who would be interested in reviewing and hopefully publishing it. Thank you, Ennegma (talk) 00:57, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update, @DoubleGrazing has already done the review! Thank you. Ennegma (talk) 14:21, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
