      SpaceX won't land off the Australian coast for Recovery. They'll do the burn sooner and land at Diego Garcia, a US base. They could do a landing at a tower, or park a barge in the lagoon.

    They are not using a 50 cal. They are using light gas guns (LGG) which accelerate projectiles to speeds of 7.6 km/s or more, that's 9 times faster than the muzzle velocity of a 50 BMG which means that a projectile from a LGG has 81 times more energy than a 50 BMG per weight basis and more importantly the terminal ballistics are very different at those speeds even plasma and ionization become a thing.

    This is misleading In that NASA is NOT shooting a 50-cal bullet at this structure, with equivalent mass and energy. The gas gun has an aperture which allows a small "particle" to free fly through the vacuum barrel at varying speeds and energies. We had such guns for hyper-velocity physics studies, and achieved speeds well in excess of 50,000 FPS for various material studies, and re-entry simulations. Our guns had 6+inch openings, and allowed larger objects to go through, which resulted in better modeling. However, this required a massive propulsion system, and as a result, most normal use systems use a smaller barrel opening, and shorter distances, so that don't need massive facilities like our range, which was a several hundred foot long building...

    i think they has to add multiple pressure layer for reliability and ability to fix one layer if ie inner layer damaged and there is space vetween outer and inner pressure layers it can be fixed withing by using outer barrier as shield while inner layer is daaged... ie layers with service space layer and can be kept reliable by using a bridge pressure layer ... so that the stress will be minimal as pressure difference will be lower compared to one pressure layer editions..

      Same as it would be for an aluminum one. A small one would just make a small hole, which they would notice from gradual loss of pressure, find the leak, and put a piece of tape over it temporarily. Get up into bigger pieces that weigh ounces and are measured in inches and could definitely be catastrophic. it’s also not a highly pressurized vessel, it’s about 15 psi.

    The balloon habitats are hopeful due to low cost for the high internal volume. I suppose a protective cube-like framework around the balloon can be covered with impact proof carbon fiber panels.

This can protect the balloon from small meteorites , space debris, and possible accidental collisions, fender benders and-or rocket exhaust.

    Vectran? Really? Its limitations seem like a deal killer to me. It is only good up to a bit over 200°C, *and* it has big problems with UV radiation making it weaker and brittle. These are both *major* problems in space, where 200°C and higher is very common at our distance from the Sun.
    An alternative that is far more durable is basalt fibers. Most variants have working temps up to 1000°C with some recipes maxxing out at 1200°C. Also UV radiation does nothing to basalt fibers. Basalt fiber is significantly stronger than either kevlar (which is even worse than vectran for melting and UV exposure) or vectran.
    Basalt fiber exhibits the highest tensile strength among the three, with a value of 4,800 MPa.
    Kevlar fiber has a tensile strength of 3,620 MPa, which is significantly lower than Basalt but higher than Vectran.
    Vectran fiber has a tensile strength of approximately 2,300 MPa, which is lower than both Basalt and Kevlar.

    'Launching multiple satellites/ISS in orbit or in outer space means more traffic jam and hindrance in space. It may affect launhing of spacecrafts towards lunar surface or another planets. Also such types of serial launching of satellites in outer space is cause of pollution and collusions. Humanity to raise its permanent base/ space station on Lunar surface only by using advanced spacecrafts to reach their within couple of hours.

      LOL Crunchy... your teeth would be what breaks though.
      Olivine is a mineral made of magnesium iron silicate with the chemical formula (Mg,Fe)2SiO4. It is a type of nesosilicate or orthosilicate. The primary component of the Earth's upper mantle,[9] it is a common mineral in Earth's subsurface, but weathers quickly on the surface. Olivine has many uses, such as the gemstone peridot (or chrysolite), as well as industrial applications like metalworking processes.

    It would be vastly safer if the failure weren’t so violent. If you get ruptured by too much pressure, it should be repairable. Catastrophic failure really isn’t an option.

      At 76 psi a crew would be long dead anyway.
      However, I'm pretty sure this test was to see, if the thing is as strong as it's supposed to be,
      not to prove it against pressures on-board systems probably wouldn't be able
      to produce anyway.

    • @ReginaldCarey
      @ReginaldCarey หลายเดือนก่อน

      Another reason to not want explosive failure is space debris. Yes these are vast hypotheticals given the pressure needed to burst the habitat, but it’s not a bad design principle for space craft in general - don’t fail violently.
