Trying to understand in are imaginary spaceship as it accelerates the mass increases because it increases it becomes harder to accelerate but acceleration comes from the mass of the reactance there mass has increased also. So the thrust should not be affected
Thanks I did think if we could reach enough atmosphere Earth would be just a few miles away. Wondered if the stress of those few miles where significant. Did not realize the Earth anchor point was such a asset
I do not understand if you accelerate a hydrogen atom to 90% the speed of light its mass is greatly increased. Are the forces that hold it together increased? If not how is it different, will it fall apart? If the forces are increased in relationship to the mass of the atom the energy...
Sorry for not being clear I have been told some day we will have the tech to make a elevator from orbit to the earth. My thought is before we have the capacity to come all the way down we could harvest gas from the upper atmosphere for breathing and fuel. My hope is the oxygen would make it...
If you increase mass with speed does the forces that hold molecules’ together increase in per portion ? If not do the molecules’ fall apart with speed ? If the forces increase in per portion Why does the energy released from the muluation of those forces decrease with speed.
Instead of a space elevator I would like the thoughts on a well. Create a structure from Geo orbit to a altitude where a the atmosphere is thick enough to harvest . Pump the gases to a altitude where it is most practical to processing the gases for shipping. I would like to think of spinning...
Why come to the surface harvest the atmosphere then pump to low Earth orbit, geo orbit is a anchor point. They will not get hydrogen oxygen is 1/2 of the fuel. Make a high thrust orbital tug gets its oxygen from are gas station hydrogen would come the old way. This tug would come down to...
