The spectacle will be so bright, it will be visible to the naked eye. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event that will create a lot of new astronomers out there, giving young people a cosmic event they can observe for themselves, ask their own questions, and collect their own data,” said Dr. Rebekah Hounsell, an assistant research scientist specializing in nova events at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. 2

Between both quotes, that kind of reminded me of the studies being done on torpor which is a way to hibernate humans on the way to Mars. At the time I first read about this, it was mentioned that the Chinese was able to put someone into hibernation for two weeks. I imagine an AI system would make sure things are running normally unless it went rogue. I haven't read much about torpor in awhile so have you guys heard or read about that lately?

One is simulating gravity via Centrifugal force. You can look up the formula for it but even a slowly moving rotating force in the vaccum conditions of space could replicate earth like gravity with bare minimal next to zero extra energy cost. The other is limiting duration time with more advanced propulsion. We are on the precipice of realizing a mere glimpse of humanities potential. The US leading this multinational, Trans global push into space makes me proud.

Being able to successful hibernate humans is fascinating to think about but the risk to organ damage and the cardiovascular and endeocrineoligical systems means our current science is still decades away, including AI to maintain it. And even then you would still be at risk from things that could take it all off line and require mission on board troubleshooting. Micro impacts, CMEs/flairs being the major ones. Best to have humans in full function working as a team and family IMO.

It’s interesting that I can get pretty close to the launch pad for the falcon launches, but when it’s Boeing/NASA they close off the south side of the lagoon.

This cements SpaceX as, far and away, the worlds leading space company. I know I have talked a lot of shit about Orlando, but that sounds so cool 1

The comp continues in it's ongoing death spiral with no slowing let alone reversal on sight. The people in charge have no clue how to fix the numerous issues they have an the departmentsvarw all fractured and deeply siloed. 1
