    Best planetary composition for flight

    If we're talking about having a gas atmosphere that human can fly in and that can form in nature I think the best place to start is to ask what is the minimum mixture of oxygen. CO2, and Nitrogen that the Human body can live in and what natural elements are gases at room temperature and pressure...

    How to quickly survey an exoplanet before colonization?

    That's modern thinking. In a non-modern society kids are your pension. You raise them to take care of you in your old age. In the situation you laid out humans would not be limited because new humans could be teleported in at any time. If you want to make it out that they can't be then you...

    How to quickly survey an exoplanet before colonization?

    I looked up various peoples' opinions on the subject, and differst stats like how many doctors per x number of people is generally wanted, etc and then I thought about it it abit ^.^ Basically you only really need 1 of most of those things with 2 in a category, but you want redundancy. For...

    How to quickly survey an exoplanet before colonization?

    Contracting all those sent will help solve the problem, especially if you handle it more like a Corporate Town. In fact you should look those up if you haven't. That might give you some insight. I would suggest sending a construction team + defense team through that is not a permanent fixture...

    How to quickly survey an exoplanet before colonization?

    Between 16 and some age between 35 and 54 you reach maximum miles driven. and then it falls back down. I would bet you're going to get an inverse curve to that for the amount of accidents.which you'd expect due to experience and ability. It's also interesting that the female curve maxes earlier...

    How to quickly survey an exoplanet before colonization?

    I'll have more to say once I think about this more, but this specific thing shows what stereotypes can be bad. The "males below x cause more car accidents" isn't a measure where you can take it like that. Men drive more therefor are in more car accidents. Likely those who are below 25 drive more...

    How to quickly survey an exoplanet before colonization?

    We don't really know the scenario. What you have revealed is that humanity has within the next 5 or so years (estimated via your statements) finds a habitable world and the ability to teleport people/things however many light years it takes to get there with high degrees of accuracy... and for...

    Realistic help for a fictional plan?

    So... We've seen that my character getting her PhD at 24 is realistic... so now how would she do it...

    Telescope probes and warp track

    When dealling with a conventional drive you'd be correct, however the moment stop dealling with how much fuel do you need to create how much thrust that ceases to be a concern. With a hyper drive system you could argue that you need some sort of mass displacement calculation and wormholes would...

    Telescope probes and warp track

    I'm saying I don't have even the slightest clue as to how this applies to what I'm asking about nor does what your saying make any sense at all. Look if I have a 20 by 20 grid and i say the scale of each grid is 1 meter. And then I say I can travel 10 meters in 10 seconds. And then I say I...

    How to quickly survey an exoplanet before colonization?

    Mammalian Mega Fauna are weak compared to things in the Dino branch of evolution up until you compare living birds to Mammalian Mega Fauna. I would not bet humans with so weak an arsenol against most other forms of Mega Fauna. Terror Birds I'd put you at an even match and that is the weakest...

    How to quickly survey an exoplanet before colonization?

    That's not something that I would bet on personally. Nature is nutty I would not bet on ther being 0 possibility of a some sort of Dinosaur with armor equivalent of bulletproof armor. The hides of these things would likely be pretty thick and making spears and bullets takes time and energy to...

    How to quickly survey an exoplanet before colonization?

    So says everyone till they actually get all the flaws in the way they do things pointed out... Trust me, I've experience in the matter ^.^ There must be something wrong with me or you then. :P It's always a clear sign that when I sound reasonable to someone something has gone strangely amiss :D...

    Realistic help for a fictional plan?

    Depends on the PhD from what I know. I've heard as low as something like 6 years after high school to longer than a decade. (24 to 28 since 18 is HS graduation age) No clue. As far as I know there is a GPA you must meet, and sometimes, but not often you get leniency if its in non important...

    How to quickly survey an exoplanet before colonization?

    "intelligent" yes. "educated" no. Also you want a limited amount of a certain type of intelligent type because they aren't good to have around... Basically don't take people like me along unless I'm in the top or I'm going to cause trouble, not because I'm trying to cause trouble, but because I...
