I had a question also. Can you quantify what kind of participation rates you have here, how many people actually contribute on a regular basis and what would...

Maybe it's more an issue of lacking people with a pioneering mindset? You are right when you say that there is no shortage of people who would be ready to jump...

Hi all, I'm travelling in East Africa, and off to the "bush" again in a few minutes. So I'm really only sporadically on the internet over the next few weeks. ...
Hi all, Let me relaunch the debate on our daughter Yahoo for Habitats. I am posting this mail both in our Mother and in the Habitats daughter. If anybody is...
(Putting this into Mother Yahoo because of it's general nature, even though it is a response in the Habitats daughter Yahoo) Well Dennis, brilliant suggestions...
I'm going to open up the NEA mines section over at Marsdrive today and do a story for it next week. Feel free to post in there if you want to. I have been busy...
Thanks Frank, looking forward. ... Which project? NEAmines is not a project in the classical sense, but a platform for exchanging ideas, concepts and plans....
Hi all, While the action is going on over in the Habitats daughter Yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAminesHabitats), I have another concern regarding the...

Hello All! I am new to these groups. I saw info about you over at MarsDrive and joined right away! I am interested in the development of asteroid mining...
First, most upper stages and tanks are integral construction. The one I know of which ain't is the Delta II...and its "tube" is reduced to a tiny ring. So we...
Hi Kevin, Welcome! Hope you'll enjoy the ride as we do. Thanks to Marsdrive and Frank!! Actually I'm still lagging behind to get something up on Marsdrive.... ...
The problem with the MET (or any electrothermal engine) is that you're limited to the expansion properties of the propellant. The Isp of the MET will be...
Actually the MET does much better than any chemical engine, but it does require a large external power source. It heats the water up to where it just starts to...
Hi Terry, Well, apparently METs have been tested to 800s ISP, not the 400s limit which you seem to go from (see the annotation below). That puts them beyond...
... Then it goes beyond thermal somehow, since no known materials can withstand the temperatures you'd need to get 800s out of water vapor. ... Dunno, haven't...
Alas, that paper has numbers for only helium (350sec) and nitrous oxide (190sec), the ones I'm looking for are "click to pay here" links, so I can't get...
