Science General Discussion

Im on team venus.


Mars is a lost cause. It lost its molten core a long yime ago. The planet is dead.

Venus has great gravity. If we discover problems with developing kids on Mars, we should try colonizing it instead.

mars has the radiation problem,  venus has heat, and the atmosphere that is just rough..

we might have more luck on mars going underground lol

I don't think radiation is that much of a problem for humans. It's slow acting and wouldn't kill astronauts that fast.

but what about shielding crops and livestock?  i think we'll need to develop better radiation shielding

Apparently 30 miles up from the surface of Venus is about perfect.

yup,  some have mentioned the idea of a floating habitat, that would be boyant because of the super dense atmosphere,  but im not sure the entire feasibility of that lol

It would be odd knowing you're one small malfunction away from death.

Don't think the radiation is high enough to affect them that much.

I think electronics need radiation shielding the most.

So pretty much like any other time?

The Curious Link Between the Fly-By Anomaly and the "Impossible" EmDrive Thruster

hmmm .. I dont want to get excited, but any time i hear news that says its not bs i get a little bit more.. lol

I've given up all hope with the Em drive. At first it was exciting that no one could disprove the thrust, but now it's annoying that no one can prove the thrust either. It's troublesome that no experiment has been able to produce consistent results.

Thrust with no explanation.
