Profiles of our future in space: The hanging gardens of space
http://futurespaceprofiles.blogspot.com/2011/07/hanging-gardens-of-space.html
Profiles of our future in space. Monday, July 4, 2011. The hanging gardens of space. Will hang from the axis of rotation. It will make far more sense to support structures and surfaces as directly from that axis as is possible, as that'll reduce the amount of weight required, both because it's a more direct way of transferring loads, and because structures built under tension are far lighter than structures built under compression.

Profiles of our future in space: August 2011
http://futurespaceprofiles.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Profiles of our future in space. Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Morality is a product of evolution, it’s a characteristic that all social animals have, and that solitary animals do not have. The foundations of morality are based in our instincts, social moral codes are built on top of these more basic, instinct based, codes. Greater wealth also means that the cost of expensive and destructive practices by those within the group are more affordable to the group as a whole, for this reason divisive and destructi...

Profiles of our future in space: Interplanetary Flight Times.
http://futurespaceprofiles.blogspot.com/2011/06/interplanetary-flight-times.html
Profiles of our future in space. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Too often when we talk about future interplanetary flight we assume the trajectories used will be Hohman transfer orbits, elliptical orbits that intersect of both the orbit of departure and the destination tangentially, in the case of Mars this involves flight times of around 250 days. But even with todays chemical rockets the mass ratios for flight times of 150 days. June 23, 2011 at 4:37 PM. June 23, 2011 at 6:45 PM. June 24, 2011 at 12:46 PM.

Profiles of our future in space: Space Mirrors
http://futurespaceprofiles.blogspot.com/2011/06/space-mirrors.html
Profiles of our future in space. Sunday, June 19, 2011. I think mirrors are incredibly underrated by people theorizing about future space technology. On Earth a mirror has to be heavily constructed to holds its form, in space with little or no gravity and no wind to contend with they can be as lightweight as soap bubbles. The lightest mirrors that are now being studied are intended as solar sails. Well, 10 tonnes, at 1 gram a square meter, would give you an area of 10 square kilometers:. AU) KW/m 2 MW.

Profiles of our future in space: Blowing up asteroids
http://futurespaceprofiles.blogspot.com/2011/06/when-weve-gotten-ourselves-established.html
Profiles of our future in space. Saturday, June 18, 2011. When we've gotten ourselves established in space throughout the Earth-Moon system the next place I'd like to see us target for exploitation are the Near Earth Objects (NEO's), asteroids that orbit the sun at about the same distance that the Earth does. To those offered by the Moon, and different. Can mean the same thing. Here's an idea that I haven't come across than might solve all three problems at once - blow it up! No, not with explosives.

Profiles of our future in space: Rotovator assisted Aerial Propellant Transfer
http://futurespaceprofiles.blogspot.com/2011/06/rotovator-assisted-aerial-propellant.html
Profiles of our future in space. Friday, June 17, 2011. Rotovator assisted Aerial Propellant Transfer. In my post Aerial Propellant Transfer. I concluded that with APT each flight could costs as little as "$1.5 million per flight plus the operators profit. Which comes to $75,000/tonne or $75/kg payload". But by combining APT with hypersonic rotovators. We can substantially improve even on that $75/tonne. Using a 600km long tether we can get the maximum velocity required from the.
