Solar Empire: Eruption on Io
http://amssolarempire.blogspot.com/2007/04/eruption-on-io.html
My personal soapbox for thoughts on space exploration, politics, and anything else. Wednesday, April 04, 2007. This shows an eruption on one of Jupiter's moons, Io. It is cool, isn't it? Picture shamelessly stolen from http:/ www.cosmicconservative.com/. Posted by qwerty182764 at 7:08 PM. It shows that there are still many wonders in our solar system alone. Good reasons to explore Space. Wednesday, April 11, 2007 6:15:00 PM. Links to this post:. View my complete profile. Why Colonize Space Part 1of2.

Solar Empire: Math Blues I
http://amssolarempire.blogspot.com/2007/04/math-blues-i.html
My personal soapbox for thoughts on space exploration, politics, and anything else. Sunday, April 29, 2007. So I'm trying to figure out a bit about wave dynamics - namely how a wave can move in a collimated fashion, such as in a light ray or laser beam. I was playing around with the wave equation a bit. I set up field sims for a 3d wave and advanced time, reproducing all sorts of interesting effects. Diffraction, reflection, interference, refraction ect. I want to be able to figure out how the amplitude'...

Solar Empire: The Known Extent of the Universe, Part II
http://amssolarempire.blogspot.com/2005/11/known-extent-of-universe-part-ii.html
My personal soapbox for thoughts on space exploration, politics, and anything else. Thursday, November 17, 2005. The Known Extent of the Universe, Part II. The distances to other galaxies cannot be measured the way we measure most other distances. Parallax won’t work for any but the closest star systems. You cannot reflect signals off even the closest stars, as the travel time would be years. So to measure the distances to other galaxies, a different method is used. There are several modes to the expansi...

Solar Empire: March 2006
http://amssolarempire.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
My personal soapbox for thoughts on space exploration, politics, and anything else. Saturday, March 25, 2006. I've been added to a blogroll! Maybe now I'll get some traffic. Of course, to keep it, I'll also have to post regularly and be interesting or something. A perpetual challenge for an engineering student (who should always be doing some other project right now, regardless of when right now is). Posted by qwerty182764 at 6:12 PM. Links to this post.

My personal soapbox for thoughts on space exploration, politics, and anything else. Thursday, February 09, 2006. The problem with being an engineering student and having a blog is that you never have time to post! Here's to two all nighters a week and three seperate stacks of homework!

Solar Empire: December 2005
http://amssolarempire.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
My personal soapbox for thoughts on space exploration, politics, and anything else. Wednesday, December 28, 2005. Here's a little thing I put together a few nights ago. Nothing profoundly useful or complicated about it, though it may come in handy. It's an excell spreadsheet used to calculate the total delta v and transit time to make a hohman transfer between two circular orbits. Posted by qwerty182764 at 8:45 PM. Links to this post.

Solar Empire: Cooking
http://amssolarempire.blogspot.com/2007/03/cooking.html
My personal soapbox for thoughts on space exploration, politics, and anything else. Thursday, March 29, 2007. I've managed to cook some of my first meals last weekend. It's actually kind of cool really. And it tastes much better than microwave meals. I don't cook every night, for time constraints. But my plan right now is to cook enough on the weekends to last me through some of the meals throughout the week. A little bit of a lesson learned there) Cook that on medium for an hour and a half or so. Questi...

My personal soapbox for thoughts on space exploration, politics, and anything else. Monday, November 28, 2005. I may not post much for the next few days. Holidays are over, and exams are piling up.

The Cassini mission is a mission launched to Saturn on Oct 15 1997, and entered orbit in the Saturn system on June 30 2004. Its purpose is to study the planet, moons, and rings of the Saturn system.

My personal soapbox for thoughts on space exploration, politics, and anything else. Thursday, April 12, 2007. Crazy Nuke Idea #1. I don't know enough nuclear physics (yet - I intend to know everything someday, though I also understand on an intellectual level why this is impossible) to tell if this is a good idea or not, but I was thinking:. Furthermore, even when we get it to work, building and operating these plants sounds like a pain in the butt. You have an extremely unstable reaction that could ...
