  1. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Well keep in mind that we are talking about the equivalent of McMurdo Station and the other Antarctic stations declaring their independence. Even if they had a readily accessible source of mineral wealth their "independence" would not end well. However the situation in "For all Mankind" may...

    Depends on what DV the lander can carry. How long we have until the intercept point with Mars-94. Then how long to reach the intercept point to the Phoenix. I know from my experience from launching multiple vehicles on a Earth Mars transfer using Kerbal that it possible to a mid course intercept...

    I predict that competition in phone networks dropping the cost of long distance call and the spread of personal computer will lead to multiple independent systems. By this point I bet we have a web of Compuserve, Genie like services by big corporation with hobbyists pursuing BBS style relay...

    Looking forward to it. I will be one of the first in line to get it.

    fixed it, sorry about that. The the unrealistic aspect of the Deltaflyer is that it's engines have an Isp of 4078.86 or roughly 10 times better than the shuttle main engine which is around 453 sec. Below it is workup. The whole reason for the Deltaflyer in Orbiter is to have a forgiving...

    It was only resolved in the 1780s. With a post 1780s breakup Virginia may decide to reassert their claims given the importance of the Three Rivers region.

    I am quite versed in space history and found the series very enjoyable. The PoD appears to be buried in the early 60s and manifested as different astronauts in place of Tom Stafford and Eugene Cernan. But primary difference is the survival of Korolev, the success of the N1, and a successful...

    That last scene was glorious.

  13. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    As for the Episode, I liked it was very intense and continues to make me interested in seeing how it plays out. I hope at some point the showrunner put out something that explains the tech and missions they don't show on the screen.

    Well the contract for Skylab was awarded in August of 1969. And it launched May 1973. Jamestown landed in October of 1973. And the news of the Soviet plans for a moon happened just before Apollo 12 which launched in November of 1969. Plus it is a considerably smaller spacecraft than Skylab...

    The point is that mass and diameter are there. And it is consistent with the statement in the show that it was built out of a Saturn V stage. OTL, the studies terminated in 1968 so all we have are that last iteration of the LESA. If you look at the development of SkyLab you will see a process...

    It seems that the show is a extrapolation of this article http://www.astronautix.com/l/lesalunarbase.html

    Sorry but you are not addressing the technical details of what caused the N1 problem in 1968 and 1969. That how viable alternatives are form. What were the causes of OTL events and how the PoD effect them. The N1 flew by 1968. The cause of it demise was foreign object debris. Why there was...

    OK so lets look at the other components The LK Lander http://www.astronautix.com/l/lk.html Unfortunately this section is sparse on the details of the construction of the LK Lander but we have this. And we know that Korolev death caused a four month gap before Mishin was appointed as his...

    Well we are throwing generalities at each other. Let's look at the details. The one of the better sites for specifics is http://www.astronautix.com. I am relying on this because it is consistent with other sources I read but it is presented in a condensed format that useful for this forum. The...
