Show Notes
Falling into the sun
Why not dump all of our nuclear waste there? Shedding orbital velocity. Eros the magic space potato.
Martian Gravity
Our lack of understanding irl of whether humans can conceive and gestate and grow in low or microgravity. Centrifugal artificial gravity.
Epstein Drive
Pulling Gs. Human limits.
Exciting times
Finally we’re in a place that we’re taking space settlement for granted. Developments in space travel like the Falcon Heavy et al. Recently, Stratolaunch:
Settlement issues
Fragility of interconnected systems at small scale. Radiation. Living inside a big rock.
Venus
Venus sucks. Mostly. On the surface, at least. Soviet Venus missions. Turning Venus into a spaceship.
