Exciting New Updates About Space Elevator Technology...Possible After All?


From Anton.

My response: 

The counter-weight would be a good point for launching missions to the moon for interplanetary space.  

Launching rockets is less important for space infrastructure than transporting water for living in orbit. For that, we need a tube rather than a railway. We can even transport steam.

Fueling a Clean Supersonic Plane Comeback


Undecided from Matt Ferrell

Comments: 

If we can make cars, home energy and agriculture carbon neutral or carbon negative, we can afford to leave aviation alone.

The question is not the ticket price but it's relation to the compensation of its passengers. If you can book the seats, you fly. You also find a way to deal with regulatory objections. With time, in ovation and competition will drop the price.

SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch | Starlink Mission - Replacing first stage


MECO happens at Mach 8 at about 40 miles up. To replace the first stage with a winged stage that breathes air and lands, one would have to design an airplane that can fly as fast and as high. On the plus side, you would not need LOX, but you would have to refuel before kicking into Mach flight.

What's the Best Way to Make Air Travel Climate Friendly?


By Sabine Hossenfelder. Science without the Gobbledygook.

Comments:

If we shift to electric cars with control and power proved from overhead lines attached to a roof deck covered with grass, runoff and solar panels in urban areas and on highways and rural area driving and flying won't produce enough carbon or air pollution to matter.
