I can't wait to have a on topic thread
fuck you
Third for 2030s spingrav station
>>16497711how's that supposed to work? a spinning two-way tower?
>>16497711how do you dock to it while its spinning? it would have to kill its roation every time something triesto dock, which seems a bit impractical.
>>16497714With only looking at the pic, I guess it spins sideways like a fan, and the dock area is in the middle. Anything that wants to dock would have to match its spin before dcking, and there would only be two docking ports max.
>>16497714like on 2001
brilliant pebbles
>>16497717I get that, but Starship can't do that. The docking port is nowhere near the center of mass.
>>16497714Pretty obvious that you dock in the center you can even see the port.>>16497717Why bother matching the spin when you can just have the port stay still and keep the rest of the station rotating? Maybe with a bearing or something idk. That way you can dock safely and no need to slow down station or match the spin.
>>16497720sucks to sucknah, just have a docking adapter that spins.
>>16497722>>16497721spinning docking adapter makes sense. Seems like a big challenge thought to engineer a spinning component which can1. Stay spinning reliably (because there will be catastrophic consequences if it fails with a starship attached) and2. maintain an airtight seal for a decade+.
And if it spins like a fan, you would need ladders to get up and down, especially at the ends. There's a reason spingrav designs are usually either the whole station is a big wheel, or enclosed hamster wheels.If you have to have a bearing (like with a hamster wheel), and it's not enclosed (like Discovery in 2001), that's a potential point of failure and atmosphere leakage. It's easy to seal a docking port when it's not moving, but it's hard to make a gasket that moves.And you also need a spinning counterweight to keep torque from spinning the rest of the station too.
>>16497722Yes, anons overcomplicate shit for no reason. Why would you ever need to match a stations spin to dock if it was spinning? Thats just retarded and has too many ways for it to go wrong just have the station spin and the dock doesnt. Real life isnt Interstellar just like it isnt the reddit movie.
>>16497724>>16497725This is an infinetly easier task to handle than always docking by matching rotation, especially with Starship since Dragon wont be in service then.
>>16497726>Just engineer a cosntantly rotating airtight seal which doesnt leak for years bro
>>16497705This is the second best OP I've seen in awhile
>>16497730Put the spinning adapter on starship, then it doesn't need to last for years.
fucking idiot
>>16497734I don't get the reusable spinning seal meme
>>16497734Real and true, anon has no rebutal.>non response drops as I postKek
>>16497726>just have the station spin and the dock doesntThat doesn't work unless you have a counterweight spinning in the opposite direction. Basically a big-ass gyro just for the weight of the spinning part. Otherwise the spin will eventually transfer to the part that's supposed to be not spinning. It's basic fucking physics. Spinning a ship to dock on the hub lets you get away without having to spin a counterweight.You could maybe only turn on the hub anti-rotation during docking, then spin it back to match the station, but if Starship is going to have a side port like Shittle did, being unbalanced could be really "fun".If the station and hub are big enough, you could even make a cylindrical docking bay, then lightly thrust to park on the inside edge as a floor. That would let more than two ships dock, but it would have to be really big.
>>16497740by "really fun" do you mean rip the airlock off the station and kill everybody?
>>16497741Yeah.
How do I draw rockets as cute girls?
>>16497740>>That doesn't work unless you have a counterweight spinning in the opposite direction. Basically a big-ass gyro just for the weight of the spinning part. Otherwise the spin will eventually transfer to the part that's supposed to be not spinning. It's basic fucking physicsMotorize the spinning dock adapter. It's basic fucking engineering.
Liquid-fuelled long march rockets in service.
>>16497746You still need an airtight seal where the two parts meet, while continuously moving against each other, with air on one side and vacuum on the other. Do please show examples where that has been done.
>>16497743well, first you have to learn to draw cute girls. That shouldn't take all too long if you're dedicated. Maybe a month or two. Afterwards you just draw cute girls but with elements from the rockets as clothing, hairstyles and accessories. Simple!
>>16497748Again, put the adaptor on the starship and suddenly it doesn't need to be continuous duty anymore. Airtight bearings are nothing special and one atmosphere of pressure differential is literally nothing.
>you cant do X because it hasnt been done beforehow many fucking times do we need to squash this argument in this industry
>>16497753it's been proven just as often as it has been disproven, you just remember the later cases because of selection bias.
>>16497754Non argument, as expected. Thanks for playing bud, reddit is more your speed though.

How the fuck is it ever going to be possible to colonize space?>Initial investment into orbital infrastructure and permanent bases on the moon are extremely expensive and most likely wont make any money ever, rather serving purely as just the necessary first step>Space colonies like O'Neill cylinders, even if you have the funding and infrastructure already in place to build them are too fragile for humans to live. They can be destroyed too easily unless you build fuckhuge continent sized colonies which definitely aren't economically feasible for a long long LONG time and you also have the realities of human affairs i.e. how can humans govern other humans in an environment that is completely controlled and can be fucked with? "Don't wanna pay taxes? Fine, no air for you.">It wouldn't even be for a long time until Earthly governments can actually get a turn on investment from things like colonies and mining operations throughout the solar system, and by that time, said spaced based colonies and mining operations will probably have a lot of power of their own and will soon start asking questions like "why are we following orders from a guy hundreds of millions of miles away?">Planets seem to be the only places that are rugged enough for humans to properly live on, but trying to live on places like Mars can't work due to difference in gravity and terraforming most likely being a pure meme. In order for proper large scale human settlements to work, you have to have an Earth 2.0>Powerful space based entities can horrifically threaten the Earth via redirecting asteroids towards it, even in the near future doing things like putting bases on the moon can be a huge threat to national security back here on Earth, so you run into the same problems things like the Orion drive have i.e. governments don't like the idea of a company having thousands of nukes in orbit with a "dude, trust me bro" safety guaranteeHow are any of these problems going to be solved?
>>16497768Surprisingly good video from him, it's usually bad popsci
>>16497811Yeah best intro to cubesats basics I've seen
>>16497810Would it be possible to design suits that people can wear daily that can distribute weight accordingly across their body so that they can walk around as if they're experiencing 1g? Like if you're on the moon, and the moon has 1/6 of Earth gravity, could you make a suit with weights across the entire body that can add 5/6 per body part? Your inner organs will still be subjected to lower gravity but at least the rest of your body wouldn't be and you can walk around and function just like how you would on Earth? It could also double as personal radiation protection as well.
>>16497810stop asking questions chud
>>16497810>self finance (Elon is literally doing this right now with starship)>lava tubes>that's a feature not a problem>humans are way more resilient than you give us credit for>then finally we can get off our asses and built planetary defence
Space Force question: Would it be feasible to turn an entire Marine Expeditionary Unit [MEU] into a modern day ODST force by sending them on a sub-orbital trajectory using Starships straight to a combat zone? I'm sure you can use decoy shit similar to ICBM's during the coast phase and during reentry you could have autonomous pods that can act as C-RAM to shoot down any incoming missiles trying to blow up the landing craft or whatever it is you're using to get the Marines to the ground. Whether that's via whole ass starships belly flopping to the LZ or by retrofitting them with drop pods.
>>16497820you can deploy marines to a FOB or a forward HQ, but not to a hot LZ
>>16497820that would be the most awkward drop imaginable, the only real use would be on Zones already under control of friendly forces, 50 to 100t of payload anywhere under an hour is one hell of an advantage, even then, I doubt they'd just leave a starship just laying around.
>Falcon 9 is now sufficiently normal to be considered "generic clickbait rocket"How far we've come
>>16497810>funding Not a problem>trying to live on places like Mars can't work due to difference in gravityNeither confirmed nor a real problem >Powerful space based entities can horrifically threaten the EarthLiterally the opposite of a problem
>>16497828I hate this fucking CG snap zoom camera effect so much
>>16497830blame BSG
>>16497832BSG?
>>16497834Battlestar Galatica my dear zoom zoom
>>16497822You could have pods that are C-RAM autocannons for close in defense while also having things like modified AIM-9's that can shoot down incoming missiles. Shit you could even have pods that are lasers that can also help shoot down missiles, drones and even artillery shells. You could probably conduct combat drops with those things.
>>16497834nobody did that zoom in shit until the reboot dropped in the 00's. then it was everywhere.
>>16497840I applaud your imagination but a grain silo falling at terminal velocity is a pretty easy target to hit anon, are you perhaps thinking of that one pod drop scene from Genocidal Organ?

>>16497814That would just be weighted exercise clothing, something you can buy at Walmart. A well fitting vest, some ankle & wrist weights, and maybe a weight hard hat to keep your neck muscles strong and you are good to go. Should help a lot at maintaining muscle mass in low gravity. I suppose you could also make some clothing with lead foil in it (similar to the apron they slap on you during a dental x-ray) and get some protection against x and gamma rays as well, not sure if it would be all that helpful though.

>>16498034Not him but I don't see why.Having 1g is precisely the point, at least for humans.In a rotating sphere gravity would be lower from the equator and plants and animals can be postioned there, but humans (probably) really need to walk and exercise at 1g.Sleeping quarters could be located in lower gravity.

>>16498270All of that shit he's complaining about has been done under my government's ownership.Except for space, we spend a fucking pittance on it and that was after years of fighting for at least SOMETHING.

Recently saw some speculation that Jeff Bezos hand picked his streaming movie star to be sexiest man of the year, an actor most known for a role where he bullies an autistic man, specifically as anti Elon conditioning. Given how petty Bezos has otherwise been during the space "race" I believe it 100%

>>16498415You say that, yet SpaceX's financiers paying for a fully reusable launch vehicle that stands to make every commercial launch vehicle obsolete — because Falcon 9 is too expensive and too slow.
>>16498415Starlink launches are paid by Starlink subscribers. They reached break-even this year.
>>16498419The internet is a fad, no financially viable use case has been found for it.
>>16498430Porn.
>>16498438Haram.
>>16498410Musk's success ratio would be even higher if he wasn't testing experimental designs on some of those launches. >NASA 2024 >3 launch attempts >2 failures
>>16498441Harems are for weirdos with bad taste.
>>16498444Yeah, the private sector is making NASA and old space look really bad. I mean, I see there is a niche for both because no private sector is going to care much about scientific exploration but clearly no public institution can have the resources needed to set the seeds for actual space proliferation.
>>16498449>but clearly no public institutionTheir budget is still much bigger than spacex
>>16498438okay rabbi
The take away from the success of SpaceX is not>"muh private sector good"it's that Elon Musk is a unique visionary and genius, the likes of which define epochs.It's not muh private industry and muh free market which created anything SpaceX. It's Elon Reeve Musk.Seeing some of you drop the ball so hard is crazy.
>>16498461Fuck off Muskrat
>>16498461Its interesting watching all the other "new space" companies flounder, fail, have no ambitions or plan towards actually launching a lot
>>16498403I suspect NSF will not sue SpaceX
>>16498034Every creature wants and needs it you moron
>>16498462You're angry because it's true, and that means Oldspace and NASA's failures are their own.
>>16498461A sober assessment is that there is no new space. There's just SpaceX.
>>16498469The rest of the industry needs to get on their level.
>>16498451Have in mind, NASA does a lot more than just put small sats on orbit and it has indeed advanced the scope of human knowledge for generations to come. NASA can be faulted for not achieving the space promise, but even so, the old explanations still stand, no one wants another Apollo program or at least, no one has been lobbying for one in decades, even when technology and industry lowered the barriers and made it even safer than in the 60s.The reality is that no one really wants to put on the effort and sacrifices needed to have Moon colonies and L3 Bernal spheres. It was never about money, it was about social will, which for a public program, is the most important thing.
>>16498270Leftists with no sense of wonder, no sense of adventure, no sense of exploration
>>16498461Kinda true. All the other competitors barely manage to get scraps because they cant deliver
I will never be an astronaut.I will never be rich enough to stay in a LEO hotel for two weeks.I will never visit Mars.I will never even touch a rocket in my life.All I can do is cope and seethe by playing shitty space games and looking at pretty artwork and making fictional scenarios in my head.
>>16498478>All I can do is cope and seethe by playing shitty space games and looking at pretty artwork and making fictional scenarios in my head.I sometimes wonder if all Musk did was identify an exploitable flaw in culture, in which 100 years of space nerdism with none to zero tangible results created enough frustration for people to work for peanuts and long hours for anyone that could bring any hope for the space dream to come true.And he went and used them to make a giant telecomunications company.
>>16498469100% true.>>16498463>>16498477Newspace only exists because of venture capitalists who have FOMO about not getting in on the ground floor with SpaceX and think they can replicate it, because they are retarded and don't understand what made it work.
>>16498475No matter how much social will, NASA isn't doing shit. The organization responsible for the moon landing does not exist anymore.
>>16498481This has crossed my mind. He specifically says he started Tesla after he discovered electric car fanatics.
>>16498481The timelines for this theory don't work. Elon strictly did the rocket thing for years and years before he decided he needed to make a telecommunications company.
>>16498481>Musk is just an idea guyThere are 8 billion idea guys on this planet. Ideaguys dont matter. What matters strictly is execution.
https://youtu.be/B_Ncwr7l6wAInteresting video
>>16498491"Musk is an idea guy" is the ultimate cope from people who refuse to acknowledge that Elon's actual skill is in project management.
Reminder, SpaceX isnt doing anything ground breaking. NASA did this 40 years ago.
>>16498497>NASA did this 40 years ago.Can I see it? Is this reusable rocket design sustaining a worldwide telecommunication constellation from NASA here with us?
>>16498497Yeah but Spacex is actually implementing technology and using it
>>16498499NASA sent people to the moon and plobes to every planet in the solar system, spaceX cant go beyond LEO, btw falcon exists because NASA paid for it
>>16498270>NHSKlaus, launch the V2s

>>16498521Build your own Elon, asshole
>>16498522but I'm retarded!!!!
>>16498513NASA didn't do that. North American Aviation, Grumman Aircraft Engineering, IBM, Douglas Aircraft Company, Rocketdyne, MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, Aerojet-General, United Aircraft Corporation, Hughes Aircraft Company, and others did.

>>16498545What does "CMEPTb OPKAM" mean? Zubrin is constantly posting that
>>16498588"smart orks" I think
>>16498218LM-12 is not a Falcon clone. It is just a third configuration of LM-7 and LM-8, adding engines to the core and removing the boosters.
>>16498593It's operating in the same performance bracket as the 7 and 8 but it's built to a much larger diameter; 3.8m vs. the old LM standard of 3.35m. I think you could technically fit 4 YF-100Ks onto the end of a 3.35m hull, but you wouldn't have any room left for gimbaling
I wish Musk wouldn't be mean to Zubrin. It's like beating up a kind old man to appear strong.

>>16498597he spent his whole career grifting about mars and then when it might actually happen he goes insaneshowing his Jew instincts are much more relevant to him

>>16498545Honestly, watching joe "stoolfucker" rogan going from being part of the leftist circlejerk gang to going rightwing and everybody on the left turning on him has been such a funny thing to see. it's just like with musk, musk and joe rogan where both gods to the left at some point, but now they are the enemy. And dont get me wrong, not a big fan of joe rogan or something, the best podcasts of joe rogan are the ones where he keeps his mouth shut, but i also never had any needs to hate him, even when he was on the commiefornia gang.
We should start a game- Post a random quote and deduce weither it came from common sense skeptic or Zubrin.
>>16498593It's more of a "2nd generation" of their kerolox launcher, more comparable with the upcoming CZ-10. Also different manufacturer than CZ-7/8 (SAST in Shanghai vs CALT in Tianjin), it's also horizontally integrated. It's really a chinese zenit, except halfway through dev they realised they needed a Chinese falcon and so they're gonna replace it with a larger reusable variant next year.
>>16498617Apparently upper composite can also be assembled vertically for some payloads.
>>16498571>>16498574Let me guess, next you'll tell us that Liberia is a shipping industry superpower?
>>16498619cool plume.
>>16498626From Haikou, 80km away
>>16498616Zubrin is right tho
>>16498627
>>16498629>>16498628Divide both of his figures by 2; was $5k in 2010 on proton or chinese rockets or F9, is $1k now on reusable F9
>>16498624Shipping industries and their flag of convenience does not really involve paying corporate tax there.
So 30 launches for the month of November, average of 1 a day. Is that a new record for most launches in a month?

>>16498640 >>16498640 We should just give ukraine nukes and icbm for 10 years. Plus a loan and help to rebuild and improve Yuzhmash factories. And then tell them they have 10 years to make their own nukes and icbms. If they can't within that time period then they don't deserve to exist as a nation.Bonus point if they make liquid fuelled icbms ngl, give them 15 years if they decide to go that way.
>>16498627>>16498629>>16498631Reminder that this is a country that is still classified as a "developing nation" and has several economic benefits because of it on the world stage and still recieves billions in aid every year from the west. Meanwhile these fuckers have a space program, a space station, the second largest army in the world, are spying on the west, doing economic warfare, and infiltrating western goverments&agencies all over the place. All this while doing genocide in their own nation and creating slave labor abroad. I'm sorry for my rant but fuck i dont understand why the west is actively creating a spacefairing superpower that hates west.
>>16498589What did he mean by this?
>>16498649If you give Ukraine nukes they'll either use them immediately like complete morons or lose them to some nice but very rich middle eastern gentlemen who are absolutely not associated with questionable groups. Yuzhmash doesn't build anything that's worth rebuilding it over and hasn't since the cold war ended. Hell, they didn't even build anything all that exciting while they were still Soviet.

SpaceX is going to deal with the ice problem by simply not having to deal with it, the booster will never draw LOX from the main tank after MECO.

>>16498651Jews. Go look at which foreigners were backing Mao.
>>16498694see >>16498674they are making the booster's LOX header tank much larger, this should be enough to cover both the boostback and landing burns
>>16498653That's a copy of his translated book A Case for Mars.
>>16498671>>16498674I thought the ice issue was from partially burnt oxidizer being fed back into the tank for ullage/strength pressure? What will they backfill into this new tank?
>>16498693
>>16498707they don't need to backfill the header tanks to retain structural integrity
>>16498674>>16498671So what's the solution to ice in the tanks in HLS or any other long duration starship? Purge the tanks on the moon? kek.
>>16498709kek, last one was funny.

>>16498736Is it just me or AI development has stalled?
>>16498709I just still think that it's impressive in so many levels that China can get away with this and absolutely no one gives a shit. No media outrage, no angry normies, nothing, complete silence. Meanwhile, some beetles get dozens of headlines. Now imagine if SpaceX were to drop a booster onto people like China does... yeah, it would be WWIII-level of outrage and legal consequences.
>>16498741It's getting incremental improvements but nothing like the early days. Some of the anime cooler models are legit impressive though.
>>16498727HLS doesnt have header tanks and will be filled with pure ice by the refuelling ship.
>>16498741image gen is really good outside of normie online shitself hosted SDXL models for various kinds of degen porn (anime, furry, etc) are incredibly good
>>16498741>>16498746the retards popping out these elon musk images are probably doing it on their jeet thinkpads using some dodgy website with god knows what outdated crap model rather than hosting the model locally.Flux 1D can create celebrities who look indistinguishable from reality with very little effort.
SpaceX targeting 15 launches in December for 136 in total, will they finally beat Space Shuttle record (135 launches)???
>>16498754lots of them are from grok itselfwhich has terrible image gen
>>16498757Falcon 9 has already beat the shuttle ages go. How is 136 in a year similar to 135 over 30 years? those things arent the same.
>>16498415F9 sells for 70mF9 costs 15mFor 38 launches you profit 2b.For 2b you could launch 140 starlink launches, they launched 88. So they still were profitable and made 770m.
>>16498760Or in otherwords 1 commercial launch supports 3.5 starlink launches.
>>16498758I think it uses the schnell model of flux which is lower quality than thedev model. you also need a lora for the celebrity to make them look 1 to 1 real.

If something akin to the Alcubierre drive is even unprohibited, why should you even need to try and go FTL? Mitigating the effects of time dilation should be the first priority. Why not just travel at 99% the speed of light in a bubble? Does that even change the feasibility of such a project?
>goes FTL>hits some rock dust>dieslol
>>16498773If there's a clearer photo of the roll-out, I haven't been able to find it anywhere. The only other capture of the assembly building (?) is in this video, and it's not clear enough to make out the signage:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUhTfgcydigYou'd think it'd be labeled on a facilities map of Wenchang but I haven't been able to find one of those either
>>16498804Trick is to open a pocket of spacetime in the front arc of the ship. Or around the ship so that debris are split apart on "contact" with the edges.
>>16498802there wouldn't be time dilation in an Alcubierre ship, given that it's space that is moving, not the ship.think of it as being constantly teleported, so much so that any ship with such tech would need to match the velocity and trajectory of the destination before or after using the drive
>>16498808I'm pretty sure that the bubble pushes away anything that's not inside of it
>>16498368do they want to get fucked by the great elon musk in the coming trump admin? Also, spacex should lobby texas or the fed to re/move residential areas near starbase in the name of national security to avoid this kind of shit

>>16498937I guess it depends on how far away Mars is from Earth. At its closest, you could reply to a post in 8 minutes, which is well within the realm of possibility. Some threads last for hours on /pol/. At its furthest, you'd be waiting three quarters of an hour just to make one post, and I think 4chan times out way before then.Makes me wonder why 4chan even has Ceres and Pluto flags set up.>>16498938So I guess online shooters are off the table, but at least you can still browse the web and play strategy games with relative ease from your Luna hotel.

>tfw no ansible
>>16498466gravity yes, 1g no
>>16498973>tfw the most 'feasible' propulsion system for interstellar travel is a black hole starship where you utilize the energy from an artificially created primordial black hole only a few attometers wide created using hundreds of square kilometer solar arrays orbiting the sun over the course of multiple years and channeling that energy into massive fuckoff lasers all colliding into one insanely precise spotJust fuck my shit up Jim jam.
>>16498665jews have certain thought patterns that are set in their DNA at this point, 1 is we want our Khazaria back and 2 is "half the goy on earth should permanently be at war with the other half and we jews should make a lot of money off of this"
>>16498649We actually took away their Soviet nukes and gave them to Russia in the 90s because they were a basket case EVEN COMPARED TO 90S RUSSIA. They went from third largest nuclear power to zero because Washington and Moscow said so.In retrospect we should have also forcibly dismantled China, India, Pakistan, and Israel's nuclear weapons programs in the 90s.

weirdest compressor you've ever seen
>>16499343Each flute of the screw acts as a separate chamber. The spur shaped gates close either end of a chamber when they're meshed with it. The length of the sealed portion of each chamber decreases as the screw turns, compressing the gas inside. A key feature is that the amount of compression can be adjusted by changing the size of the exhaust port.But what does it have to do with space? Does Elon own a Daikin AC?

>>16499490there's no way to guarantee that my cute daughters will have tails if both me and my beautiful wife don't both have tails
>>16499522I'm testing it and it seems fine albeit a bit rough around the edges. It works well with other Create mods like the ones that add nuclear power and generators. I could see it being a nice little way to waste time in-between launches and LARP about our Mars colonies and custom rockets.Someone even made a working Starship catch.
BO was right
>>16498871The problem is that space craft have little to no aesthetic considerations, only functional ones. I can imagine an alien race that highly values or needs more organic geometry or angular geometry to make something more flowy or spiky. Humans seems to like boxes and cylinders just fine. It might also be possible that aliens have some kind of plant that for whatever reason is perfect for making vehicles out of. Like some kind of super wood. Maybe they would grow some parts of vehicles rather than manufacture them. If you want to write fiction you really just have to ask yourself how the aliens and what they value differ from what humans value

>>16499609imagine another 100 million browns in the usa
>>16499612The country would flourish even more than now
>>16499562just use the floor of the base 10 logarithm of the payload in tonsthen you don't ever need to come up with a new system
>>16499612Northern Mexico was sparsely populated at that time. The new states would have gotten Anglo'd the same way the border states were in our timeline.
>>16499619>the same way the border states were in our timelinet. never seen photos of New Mexico
>>16499619the current border states are majority mexican right now though
>>16499612nowhere near 100 million in those areas. cuba is only 11 mil. baja california is 4.5. sonora 3, chihuahua 4, coahuilia 3, nuevo leon 6, tamaulipas 3, yucatan 3.So approximately ~38million in todays population.But if it had happened under Polk back in the 1840s the number of browns would be different. many would have been moved south, and whites would have settled in, as happened in Texas and California under his presidency.
>>16499600You need a better plan: the salt marsh is a huge flood control zone for the built up areas. The factory would flood if the marsh was filled in. I agree with building up pads all the way down to the Mexican border, though: just put the vehicle transport infrastructure on piers to keep the salt marsh functioning as a marsh. Annexing a chunk of Mexico and building a bridge over the Rio Grande isn't the worst idea either, but the environmental concerns are actually more relevant down there because of the better habitats for the species of concern.
>>16499622Why did they voluntarily leave a good country for a worse one?
>>16499624Retard here how do marshes control floods?
>>16499625natives aren't citizens, they're a hostile nation
>>16499626>>16499624they can prevent flooding downstream by slowing waterthey don't prevent upstream flooding and salt marshes are already at sea level, so I think in this case the effect would be fuck all
>>16499626>>16499638The vegetated dunes function as breakwaters that minimize coastal erosion, even when the ground is saturated. This is important for Texas, since the law of the coastline is that as the coast goes, so too do the zoning easements. As a flood plain, sponge up flood water. https://www.nature.com/articles/ngeo2251
