Yeah, that would probably happen with a bad atmosphere plus Squad attempting to add relativity

nah, it's a reference to the Trisolaris Trilogy. "Trisolaris is the only planet in the Alpha Centauri system. It is the homeworld of the Trisolarans, the main antagonists of the Three-Body Problem sci-fi novel trilogy."

darsie, it's right there!
20:17

spending money on it, without getting progress
20:17

a_flayer: So just because we want to?
20:18

I think a Moon base can provide material for space manufacturing etc.
20:19
<

Get shielding matter down to Earth orbit for space stations.
20:19

With a mass driver or a sling shot.
20:21

Shall we use aluminium/magnesium or steel for space statinos?
20:22

Carbon steel? No carbon on the Moon.
20:22

iirc, we could make a space elevator at the moon with kevlar
20:22

a_flayer >
darsie, specifically because i want it
20:23
<
Althego >
the best would be of course a moon and a mars base
20:23
<
Althego >
the moon base could build the rockets to go out into the solar system. way easier to launch
20:23
<
Althego >
and mars would be frontier
20:24
<
darsie >
Can be much flimsier rockets than Earth launchers.
20:25
<
darsie >
Can turn Moon water to propellant.
20:26
<
darsie >
Or deliver it to LEO.
20:27
<
darsie >
H2 has 13 bar critical pressure at 33 K.
20:28
<
darsie >
That's a bit tricky to keep liquid.
20:29
<

Could be stored as H2O and electrolyzed as needed in flight.

Hello, trace
21:04
<
trace >
does a rotating space station needs a rotation in the other direction too ?
21:05
<
FLHerne >
Probably not
21:05
<
darsie >
no, but it can be useful.
21:05
<
trace >
for what would it be useful
21:06
<
darsie >
Like you can change rotational speed with just solar power and an electric motor.
21:07
<
darsie >
Or, in case of O'Neill cylinders it can cancel their angular momenta adn avoid starting to spin about their stable axis.
21:07
<
darsie >
And you can change attitude, e.g. to face one side towards the sun.
21:07
<
FLHerne >
Is this question about real life stations, or KSP?
21:07
<
darsie >
oh, rl answer
21:08
<
FLHerne >
In KSP, tbh I've never found that spinning ring stations work very well; kerbal physics are glitchy enough without a moving reference frame
21:08
<
FLHerne >
but they look pretty
21:08
<
FLHerne >
so build a contra-rotating section if it looks cool for your design, and not otherwise :p
21:09
<
darsie >
e.g. if you had two pairs of starships tetherd together, you could rotate both with just solar energy and an electric motor.
21:10
<
trace >
FLHerne, why don't they work very well
21:11
<
FLHerne >
Collision/physics simulations for Kerbals on EVA aren't great, so they can't stand on the inside of the ring properly
21:12
<
FLHerne >
usually either fall off or ragdoll
21:12
<
FLHerne >
and the spinning makes it a bit tricky to dock
21:12
<
FLHerne >
(that might be another use for a counter-rotating section in real life; I doubt it would help much in KSP)

what I knew was that this channel is about that "game" to create space crafts and stations

IVA is craft interior view, as labelled on the button next to EVA

Anyway, my point is that the reason to build a rotating space station in real life is that they experience a centrifugal force similar to gravity, which is useful for people and systems in it
21:19

Kerbals by default have life support requirements that make pak protectors look soft and weak

(aside maybe from G-tolerance?)
21:19
<

but KSP doesn't simulate "people and systems in it" in enough detail for that to matter, so the only way your station's crew can experience the centrifugal force is to go spacewalking
21:20
<
trace >
how much G (>1>) can it have?
21:20
<
FLHerne >
and the physics simulation doesn't cope very well with that either, so the practical value of a rotating space station in KSP is about zero
21:20
<
FLHerne >
As much as you want, just spin it faster
21:20
<
FLHerne >
Fundamentally it's just a big centrifuge
21:21
<
FLHerne >
If the speed is too high relative to the diameter, there are undesirable coriolis effects

If the station is big and rotates slowly, it shouldn't be a problem

I think as well as no gravity is interesting for tests, there should also be a scientific relevance for making tests with a lot of gravity
21:28
<
FLHerne >
For more gravity you don't even need a space station, you can build a big centrifuge on Earth

FLHerne: i watched a video about a ton of research done on centrifugal gravity and the conclusion seems to be that it's not worth it, generally, at least not for normal ops. still kills me this guy's a goon >_<

a year in zero-g seems alright. anything much longer than that and I start to wonder

but we don't know if Mars gravity is enough for the human body

and then you've got to get back as well

its probably better than no gravity

i suspect Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars" trilogy probably got the reduced gravity angle right. In terms of physiology, it's the absence of gravity that's the problem. A reasonable amount would be enough to let our systems that require it to function properly continue to function, though potentially in a reduced capacity. There's also the conditioning factor; return is gonna SUCK

Artificial gravity also helps doing kidney stone removal surgery. Well, with the katether methods it doesn't make as much difference.

Other surgeries, then.
