will we find compounds and alloys that currently we can't produce?

 

[lawai'a]

this is likely already dated from 2015 but talks about the design of ion drives becoming more efficient."to mars and http://newatlas.com/neumann-ion-drive-nasa-hipep-engine/39490/
back on one tank of fuel"

The question is:::Would you be picked to leave the planet if you were not rich?

I can think of one rich dude that a vast majority of people would like to see leave the planet.

I read about one of the military designs staying aloft for over a year ,dipping/skimming the atmosphere for fuel

I'm no huge fan of Meyers Leonard, but that's a little harsh.

On the moon. Some rich dudes are trying to finance an operation to get a base up therecon the moon to look for Gold, Silver, Helium 3, and other precious materials. There probably isn't any new materials on the moon that we haven't foubd on Earth, but its possible.

they envision it dovetailing nicely and efficiently to cut both time and projected costs of the original mars mission. good/interesting in the menu

 

[lawai'a]

maybe too ambitious not much recent press releases

Space Jam remake? Maybe Space HORSE would be better.

Starts with T and ends with P?

But is Meyers a driveway player or not? Someone ask Canzano.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Would you live on the moon if given the chance?

Open ended question.
What amenities would be provided?
Hot running water?
Green houses to grow vegatation?
COmplete bubbled communities?
Or are you talking about living in a round ball with a couple windows and having tro wash yourself with wetnaps and store your piss in containers?

Open ended question. lol.

I'd do it regardless. I am happiest when alone.

Really though? You seek out others to converse about the Blazers and other things. I mean. What if you were there all alone with no further ability to communicate with earth until the next shuttle arrives in 2-5 years?
Not trying to be rude just genuinely asking.
I too love my alone time. Buying land in the middle of nowhere, but when I really think about it, I realize, I would need to maintain a communication with the outside world, if anything just to continue to listen others to and spread my music
