If piccolo is really building a spaceship I'd love to know what his budget is. AFAIK, NASA's space shuttle's cost around $1.7 billion USD. I've seen cheaper rockets designed to take men into space (albeit, none of them have launched yet AFAIK), but if you're actually planning to travel to another planet and colonize it you'll need a lot more than today's most advanced space shuttle, let alone a cheap rocket... -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Its not completely possible. Its not even remotely possible yet. Its more complicated then putting a man/men or women in a spaceship and launching them to another planet. There are factors such as housing, solar radiation, psychological stress, etc. to consider. Even with the money, its far from "completely" possible. In capitalist America bank robs you. |

It could be done with current technology. It will be much cheaper, easier, and safer with future technology, but that doesn't rule out our current technology. We can debate this if you like, but this really isn't the thread for it.

The moon cannot be compared to Mars. Mars is farther away then the moon, plus, if people go to mars, they would be there for some time, not just get there go back. Its presents a very difficult challenge. In capitalist America bank robs you. |

People seem to have some obsession with "technology". "Technology" is just how we measure what we know and how we apply it. It is nothing more than applying the way things work. That said, when I was a little kid, I worked on ideas for mechs. Now, I work on ideas for ultrasonic sniper rifles. Imagination persists. |

Quote: Are you really trying to design or build a space ship in real life? One that will carry people or one of those smarter, smaller lightweight things that use solar power and slowly rise out of the atmosphere? its a space ship not using the current technology meaning no rockets Quote: If you are thinking in terms of planets, micro robots aren't really that small! micro robots were to be used in the medical feild. and in that picture i also said that it would be easer to clone a virus for the purpuss heal then making a micro robots. with the stuff i researched back then. wow |

i planed to make a new propeltion system. i plan to move with current forces edit Quote: How would you propel it with no rockets?
This sounds like: how will it fly with out wings wow |

Quote: current forces
All propulsion works by pushing something in the opposite direction that you want to travel. There are more effective means of doing this than rockets, I'm sure. I do however doubt we will have star-trek technology in our lifetimes, if ever.

Don't you guys make fun of piccolo, or he won't select you for his colony. Seriously, I think of him as the new Alex Chiu. -R |

a simple example would be 2 magnets the repel each other. one magnets is the ship the other is the area behind the ship. wow |

Piccolo have a super uber giga brain. He can control everything with his own "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |
