There is still lunar gravity in the center. It would be weird, the first few times. But you, or the birds, would get used to it.

That’s why it’s 100m diameter instead of 10m.

It’s in a vacuum, and probably magnetic bearings.

Instead of that tram system, I would have put a terminal at the bottom of the “cup.” Ideally, assuming we could figure out the necessary seals for atmosphere, somebody could walk directly from the moving platform to a stationary stairway and into other areas of the lunar outpost. It would be no more of a challenge…

The force you feel inside will be perpendicular to the floor. From the center to the rim, the floor slopes to keep it perpendicular to the total of lunar gravity and centrifugal force. Since the air is rotating with the floor, birds would feel the same when flying. The exception would be if you are moving at high…

Magnetic bearings should be able to support it with very little friction. It shouldn’t need that much power once startup is complete.

1G would be at the very rim near the top. They showed the transit station at around the 80% mark, which has a slightly smaller radius. Thus the station on the outside would still be a smaller radius than the inside of the top.

That’s an index finger, not middle.

Not child related, but when I booked my honeymoon flight, (months in advance, because I plan ahead.) I selected seats next to each other, of course. But then they changed the flight four times between booking and flight, and we got separated. It’s not always as simple as “do it ahead of time.”

The problem is the rockets that are not purposefully aimed at the rocket graveyard. Many of China’s rockets, for instance, still make no provision for a controlled entry. Even a few US rockets have neglected this aspect, but most do have a intentional deorbit into a safe zone. But the last three rockets to reach…

If it tips over you just buy a new one. Just another quarter million.

Also, none of the launches studied here are from methane, which burns much cleaner than RP1.

There’s also a cat. He is often “mad”

The perfect gift for any smart dog: talking buttons.

95% sounds right. I was trying to make a conservative guess. Hence the “or more.” Just making the point that gas stations that serve suburban commuters will see less advantage to support EV charging than a station on major freeway routes.

Two shots: first shot seems to have missed or been ineffective. Victim then turned towards the sound, and the second shot made two wounds near the front of the neck, one of which damaged the heart.

Some accounts I heard said the first shot seemed to miss, and the second shot created at least two wounds, so shotgun might be correct in the sense of it throwing multiple projectiles per shot.

I think Superchargers already comply with the power level for NEVI, so they just need to give them CCS cables and a way for the public to pay. (Current Superchargers are automatically paid through your car’s Tesla account, so they need to add a credit card interface.)

There’s nothing stopping a gas station from adding a few chargers in the back. They just have to actually want to, and beef up their utility connection.

It used to be that every resupply vehicle was expendable. Now, other than Russia’s Progress resupply, (who know how long that will continue) most resupply missions are from a reusable craft such as Dragon. Other future resupply craft are also planned, such as Dream Chaser, which are also reusable.
