A smaller, faster version of the SpaceX Interplanetary TransportSystem to Mars.

In the long run it would be a lot better than chemical propulsion. If you are talking about a space elevator for Mars, materials are not really a problem. Mars' lower gravity means existing materials should do. Phobos is more of a problem. Not a show stopper, an elevator anchored away from the equator could be done. Still Phobos is very inconvenient. The real reason why we aren't developing a Mars space elevator is that the traffic between Mars and space isn't high enough to warrant the investment. Alain Fournier |

More like the hang out with other engineers at lunch on Friday and have one beer. Excellent! and moronic "Lets build a STEEL PLANT on Mars" That wasn't me, but there is nothing fundamental which prevents doing such a thing. try building one in the USA first, extremly hard to do because of all the regulations, Mars is going to have the same regulations then? most likely run from Brussels now, they set the laws for EU rest of the world. NASA has its own process for building and launching rockets tracking materials, Im sure is flowed down to SpaceX and others. (I was on a few projects that went on Missiles) and now you want to go pollute a entire pristeen planet ? Who said anything about releasing waste from the process to pollute the planet? the greenies will, they wont let Mars turn into a 3rd world planet, perhaps it already is, un-inhabitable. the Steel Foundry and Mill will have to be enclosed, air tight. Space Elevator too ? Once the materials are good enough and can be produced economically in the quantities needed, why hell not? In the long run it would be a lot better than chemical propulsion. Jeff electrical? need rails to take the current. The "Space Elevator" has been replaced by the "Space Rubber band" just by growing a few rubber trees on Mars, we can build a very very large rubber band... |

[ugh] She has already re-purposed the funding for the "US Occupation of Planet Mars" to her remodel of the "White House" into the "White Castle" with Throne You really are being a ass aren't you? Jeff well you're abrasive asshole, it is what you do, but that is expected as you have little scientific/engineering facts to contribute. LOL, you mean like the cites provided that you've largely ignored? Well, he doesn't like the issues clouded with facts. your "Occupy Mars" idiocy is in with the Smoke-um Dope-um crowd. Wrong crowd. I have an aerospace engineering degree and don't tend to hang out with the "Smoke-um Dope-um crowd". More like the hang out with other engineers at lunch on Friday and have one beer. Yeah. I really don't know who this idiot thinks he's talking to or just what his own background is, but I'm betting he's still living in Mom's basement. I made a pretty good living as an engineer for over 30 years, so this moron's opinion is merely mildly humorous. and moronic "Lets build a STEEL PLANT on Mars" That wasn't me, but there is nothing fundamental which prevents doing such a thing. And AT SOME POINT you're going to want to do that and many other things. try building one in the USA first, extremly hard to do because of all the regulations, Mars is going to have the same regulations then? and now you want to go pollute a entire pristeen planet ? Who said anything about releasing waste from the process to pollute the planet? And who cares if we do? This guy really does belong in the basement of his Mom's cave gnawing on bushes. Space Elevator too ? Once the materials are good enough and can be produced economically in the quantities needed, why hell not? In the long run it would be a lot better than chemical propulsion. Space elevators make great thought experiments, but they're unlikely to happen for a long, long time (if ever). -- "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." --George Bernard Shaw |
