In my other question I tried to find out if it makes any sense to colonize other planets or moons instead of just building space stations. The answer I accepted seems very well elaborated to me and confirmed my assumption that, with the technology and resources needed to build even a base on mars (fa... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Question	—	Simple non destructive spaceship liftoff engine I like to have a concept of an engine that spaceships can use to lift off (and land) from/on a planet (regardless of it having an atmosphere or not) with the following constraints: It should be simple to "understand" for the audience It should not consume more than 10% of the ships mass in fuel It ...

Question	—	What would define the "speed" (and direction?) of an alcubierre like warp drive? There seem to be honest scientific exploration in the field of the alcubierre warp drive if you believe some articles on the net. So to be a little bit scientific accurate in a story using it, I wonder about the following: The warp drive deflates space in front and inflates it to the back of the shi... (more)	—	over 8 years ago
Question	—	Which fast STL drive could not be weaponized or results in perpetual motion? I'm looking for a slower-than-light (STL) drive for fast inter-system travel. It should make trips from one planet of a system to another (e.g. Earth, Mars, Jupiter) with sublight speed possible in a few days. In many science fiction works we encounter starships that accelerate to high speeds, chang... (more)	—	over 8 years ago
