Donnie Mason, I was just enjoying the graphs and data at NuDat 3.0. I have been reading and using table of isotopes for over 50 years. It is finally getting to where it is easy to use. I was looking at Q beta-, Q beta+ and Q EC for all the isotopes and the CSVs

I design an electromagnetic field launch facility that lift the Starship second stage to its mission height and velocity on the planned time schedule ( a few minutes). It completely eliminates or replaces the booster. More importantly it also can catch and gently set the returning craft back in its cradle. So the overall size

Note on 9 Aug 2023: “Atomic Fuels” and “Extended Nuclear Materials” At https://www-nds.iaea.org/relnsd/NdsEnsdf/masschain.html there are beta and electron capture chains that allow converting “nuclear” isotopes by using electromagnetic reactions. Electron density or positron density is easier to control than neutrons still. But with magnetic techniques, BOTH the old fission and new fusion are just part

Archer.com Adam Goldstein, I saw your ad on Twitter (now X) promoting Archer. I read some of the website, but had to ask Google Bard for specifications on your craft and battery and motors. Your site is too glossy for me. Now people who might want to use VTOL are likely to be efficiency minded.

I want observing stations near the sun to monitor it closely and continuously. Sunlight so close, might as well gather some into “atomic fuel”. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation Richard: The earth has a specific distance and velocity for “geosynchronous” satellites. What is the radius and velocity of a solar synchronous orbit for a satellite

Experimental Cross Sections for Reactions of Heavy Ions and 208Pb, 209Bi, 238U, and 248Cm Targets, 2002 by Joshua Barnes Patin at University of California, Berkeley, Professor Darleane C. Hoffman https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joshua-Patin Joshua, I was looking for people working on fusion reactions using Scandium through Zinc, and found your dissertation, then some related people and groups. Your

Master Ivo: Field Propulsion, Explained with Working Proof at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVjC47NBqfM You are wasting a lot of time inventing theories that are well known and trying to learn quantities that are relatively easy to measure and calculate. Start by thinking what you want to do. I suggest you use magnetic levitation first. Forces on wires and magnets

This is a little tongue in cheek because GPT 4 is not reliable for any calculations and a pain to work with. But the basic outline is about right, and gives what I have been working on for some decades. More the last two decades. It is fun gathering and building models of the real

CSI Starbase: Why SpaceX Is Abandoning “Off-The-Grid” Operations At Starbase at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxjPRIiFL_c Great tracking and analysis. Do you have the system map, simulations and data online somewhere in open data formats and browser-accessible form? As an integrated model, you could run optimization scenarios to suggest very specific ideas to SpaceX and others. Not just from your

Scienta Plus: SpaceX’s Ingenious Idea to Protect Starship Raptors and OLM from Explosion, Vast Space Station at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L22gyQDDXho If you use arrays of hundreds (thousands?, millions?) of small 3D printed rockets and instrument them with fast controls, you can acoustically tune the whole exhaust down to the ground and have silent launches, The current rockets are
