Apply shuttle ET foam in a vacuum.
Interesting idea.
Is it the solution? |

Give it basalt composite fibers.
Foam and highly insulative basalt composite fibers (possibly a layer or two of basalt micro-balloons to boot) is just the ticket to ride, and I believe it's well proven as well as being dirt cheap at perhaps representing less overall mass per R-factor. In fact, the entire tank could have been a 100% composite of basalt and perhaps a touch of silica if need be. ~ Don't look: in spite of the orchestrated status quo, it seems there's been other life upon Venus http://guthvenus.tripod.com/gv-town.htm Russian/China LSE-CM/ISS (Lunar Space Elevator) as situated within the ME-L1/EM-L2 sweet-spot http://guthvenus.tripod.com/lunar-space-elevator.htm Venus ETs, Earthly ETs plus a few other somewhat testy topics by; Brad Guth / GASA-IEIS http://guthvenus.tripod.com/gv-topics.htm |

I think it's simply AWESOME how many more experts on this subject are here
on SAA than there are in all of NASA or aeronautical/space engineering. Simply STUNNING! SAA never fails to impress...

Jan Owen,
The only sorry aspect of our NASA that's impressive are the LLPOF factors of how they've gotten so many nice and undeserving folks quite dead. At least I'm impressed. BTW; what would you think about a structural tank insulation worth of R-1024/m ~ Don't look now: in spite of the orchestrated status quo, it seems there's been other life upon Venus http://guthvenus.tripod.com/gv-town.htm Russian/China LSE-CM/ISS (Lunar Space Elevator) as situated within the ME-L1/EM-L2 sweet-spot http://guthvenus.tripod.com/lunar-space-elevator.htm Venus ETs, Earthly ETs plus a few other somewhat testy topics by; Brad Guth / GASA-IEIS http://guthvenus.tripod.com/gv-topics.htm |
