every dimension is an infinite amount of their previous i.e. 1st dimension is an infinite row of 0 dimensional "positions" or dots, 2nd dimension is an infinite row of well "rows" or lines, etc. but nothing can go on forever unless the universe has infinite mass which brings out a whole other can of worms, so by any logical standpoint gravity would take effect and curve the dimension, the 1st dimension is length, 2nd height, 3rd depth. a common misconception is that the 4th dimension is time? that's extremely stupid in my opinion because there's an obvious split between SPACE and TIME, hell you can ask a 4th grader that, and since we're talking about spacial dimensions ( i don't even wanna think about temporal dimensions ) that wouldn't make any sense. A 2 dimensional plane seen from a 3 dimensional point of view is just a sphere, a 3 dimensional plane from a 4 dimensional point of view is well us, the universe around us, call it a hyper-sphere like on wikimedia, at least for me it is possible to imagine something with infinite depth, that is our universe, our universe though is a 4th dimensional body moving through a 5th dimensional plane that is why it is expanding even though to us (if we had the technology) it would be infinite, so even though the object that we call "our" universe or at least the universe that we inhabit is moving extraordinarily slow to us through a 5th dimensional space and that is why I believe we're nothing but a spec of dust in another plane of existence, the big bang was merely the first time something outside the boundaries of our concept of reality nudged us and doomed us to this existence. we could very well exist merely because something outside our reality farted and made the universe move through their version of space enough to give us more mass. also it just came to me randomly I really like the idea of calling the 4th dimension "gain" whyever

It is technically infeasible to go to mars without a mars transfer vehicle which is basically a multistage rocket that needs to be constructed in low earth orbit. That giant ass fuck huge heat shield on the front is for aerobraking a method where we achieve martian orbit by using mars atmosphere to save fuel.

Getting to mars will require nuclear thermal or fusion.

The logistics of sending humans on a year long trip to deep space are ridiculous.

I also think its a pointless mission, as the near earth asteroids have actual economically useful resources.

>Getting to mars will require nuclear thermal or fusion.
I think you can one-shot to Mars from Earth or LEO with only chemical rockets if you don't care about the astronauts potentially dying from solar radiation; it's just less practical and efficient. With enough shielding to ride out a big flare though, nuclear power and launching from the moon are two options that are probably best combined but likely either sufficient to overcome weight problems with a one-shot from Earth/LEO.

That many digits past the decimal point should immediately make you suspicious. That's a latitude of the great pyramid of Giza, not the latitude. You only need a few digits and check if that circle of latitude goes through anything significant. Then you put in the rest of the digits because they'll change very little. It would be pretty cool (still wouldn't mean anything) if that was the latitude at the center/apex of the pyramid but it isn't.

Science is a few things:

1. Knowledge (this is where the word comes from) to be acquired and information that can be applied (technology, chemistry, cooking, etc, are all applied sciences)
2. The method of “fuck around and find out” (causality/repeatability as it is - with the additional nuances of the reproducibility crisis - each stroke of a paint brush won’t be exactly the same - things like the big bang already happened - etc) which is the bare minimum of science - “remember kids, the only real difference between proper science and fucking around is writing is down”
3. The scientific community and overall consensus, peer review, scientific dogma (consider that half of the scientific community can’t even tell you what a woman is - it is perhaps a borderline cult at present), etc, that ostracizes dissent and divergent thinking
4. Physics, nature, reality, as it is - Einstein himself did not see science as merely something to apply in the one sided sense; he saw it as a background symphony, playing its cosmic tune independently of our ability to listen in; it lies in wait for all time; “the music of the spheres”; he directly compared it to Mozart “locating” already existent beauty, or harmony, while people like Beethoven merely constructed their music

Any questions?

>Knowledge (this is where the word comes from)
Science used to just mean why field or base of knowledge but for some reason this has been utterly forgotten. But now people see it as something opposed to things like magic and religion, even when mad science is at times indistinguishable from hocus pocus (by any other form), and the scientific community (as you say) is a fucking cult, a religion, and atheists are some of the most zealous and religious people I’ve ever met. South Park really had a great episode on that. “Oh my science…”. “Science save us!”.

>the space shuttle cant go to the moon.
Its 100% possible if you put it on top of the saturn 5 rocket with the F1B engines.
>How will you land on the moon
I just put the LSAM on the cargo bay.
Also this configuration is arguably safer.
>>
>>17006755
The Saturn V can go to the moon by itself, why bother putting the space shuttle on top?
Carting the wings and other useless components to lunar orbit and back is a waste of fuel.
The space shuttle is not designed to survive reentry from the high speed resulting from a trans-lunar orbit.
>Also this configuration is arguably safer.
The space shuttle was extremely unsafe compared to Apollo, there was no recourse if anything serious went wrong during launch, even just the trajectory being off. Meanwhile Apollo had the launch escape system and could rescue the astronauts if the entire rocket was exploding. Challenger would have been non-fatal with a conventional capsule. See that Soyuz mission from a few years ago for an example. There is no way that slapping a space shuttle on the side of any rocket would make it safer. Apollo was safer during both launch and reentry.
>but I want more space inside!
Then just make the capsule bigger.
>>
>>17006755
The Space Shuttle has been retired so far all practical purposes, it no longer exists as a space craft.

Dumb question but what magnitude of failure would it take to actually see this?
We saw in the shittle engines failing don't fail explosively they just turn off.
We never saw catastrophic cracked turbine they were warned about? Would you have to get the whole fuel tank igniting? Challenger was ripped apart by aerodynamic loads again, not an explosion

>>17006880
math does not describe the real world. But you can apply it to the real word.
There are infinit possible equstions, some of them accuratly describe what is happening. E.g. you obseve something ist spreading out. You can describe that as a quadratic function. That does not mean that it IS a qudratic function. A quadraritic fuction can only be used to discribe that grow.
