The optics aren't as great - we've already been there so it's not as "cool" a mission - but from the perspective of tackling realistic goals that could be performed quickly and yield useful results, it's a good one. its been 40+ years since a human was 500+ miles off the earth's surface. we still do not know how the circulatory system, inner ear, and lymphatic system will react when the force of gravity is very low for an extended period of time. a mission with goals such as this will be make for a great research platform to answer these questions. another big concern occurs when gravity is pulling fairly equally in 2 different directions at the same time for an extended time period. how does that impact the heart's function? the lymphatic system etc. there could be dozens of other processes in living organisms that rely on a single source of gravitational pull close to the earth's force of gravity. | ||

We'll land on Jupiter in 2065. I'll begin lobbying governments for money and accepting charitable donations with a kickstarter tomorrow. As , CEO and "Head of Ideas", i of course draw a pay equal to 40% of all incoming revenue. joking aside, i think companies confident in their ability to perform will warm up to projects with a time line under 10 years. i think companies that are just fishing for free government money are attracted to projects with timelilnes so long and project goals so grandiose that the execs signing these deals will never be held accountable for any failures; they'll be long gone before the rubber ever hits the road. | ||

Oh its "general relativity is wrong - says guy on the internet"-time again. | ||

His post directly denies the equivalence principle, the core of general relativity. Its like saying "i can go faster than light by just running very fast in a train that moves slightly below lightspeed". He might believe it, but it is a good indicator to ignore his opinion, as he clearly has no clue about the last 120 years of physics. | ||

Ok, he did this some months ago in this thread already. The argument goes: ISS is no test of weightlessness as it is too close to earth (thats why he harps on the 500miles again and again), and one can distinguish a free falling observer near a gravitating body from a free falling observer far from a gravitating body by a local experiment. People on the ISS are in free fall (except for the short boosting periods), there is no "force" acting on them as he claims again and again. And talking about "tidal"-forces in this context is either clueless, a bad joke or intentional windowdressing to misslead. | ||

Sounds to me like a strawman or a grudge. What you're talking about has nothing to do with what he said. | ||

Do you understand that weightless people don't stay right-side up? | ||

Sounds to me like a strawman or a grudge. What you're talking about has nothing to do with what he said. You are incorrect. JJR's post was entirely regarding the effects of varying levels of gravity. JJR does not believe that equal and opposite forces cancel each other out with respect to biological functions. He believes that weightlessness on the ISS is somehow not the same as weightlessness outside of earth's orbit. Puerk disagrees. | ||

there are gravitational forces throughout our solar system. these forces keep the solar system in tact. | ||

Which I'll leave for them to sort out on their own. | ||
