For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars.It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon ci ...

RT X Freeze (@XFreeze)THE PATH TO 100 TERAWATTS GOES THROUGH THE MOON"If you want to go up another order of magnitude let's say you want to go to 100 terawatts a yearwhich is obviously a nutty number then you want to make those AI satellites on the moon and use a mass driverLike Robert Heinlein’s The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. I love that book; it’s a sort of libertarian paradise on the moonOn the moon, you can just accelerate the satellites into escape velocities around 2,400 meters per second and there's n ...

ORBITAL REFUELING: THE KEY TECHNOLOGY FOR STARSHIP’S MULTIPLANETARY FUTUREOrbital refueling—transferring cryogenic propellant (mostly liquid oxygen and methane) between two massive Starships in orbit—is the single most critical enabling technology for Starship to reach the Moon and Mars with meaningful payload.Without it, Starship could only deliver limited cargo or crew; with successful ship-to-ship transfer, it unlocks fully reusable interplanetary missions, massive payloads (100+ tons to Mars), and the f ...

It would look incredibleLilHumansBigImpact (@BigImpactHumans):“Not to mention the mass driver on the moon, I really want to see that, can you imagine, some mass driver that's just going like shoom shoom? It's sending solar-powered Al satellites into space one after another at two and a half kilometers per second, just shooting them into https://t.co/faOyu975iU ...
