rockets aint legos
a good amount of that $9 billion spent on Ares is wasted.
They're planning on using the ATK 5 segment SRBs that were already paid/researched for just to justify that prior expense

fwiw i dont think NASA should build a rocket, but contract the work out to the private sector to design to a set of guidelines needed

oh well

On a lighter note:

Building LEGOs in microgravity is going to be a pain in the ass.

It'll suck even more when that one extra 1x1 flat piece rips up the vents

sooo, just waiting for class to start and wondering what happens when the massive solar flares (like the one that just hit the earth) hits the space stations up there? Were they on the 'safe' side of the planet at the time? or did their REMs take a big jump?

Just to expand on that a little.

The ISS orbits from 173 to 286 miles altitude. Geostationary orbit is about 22,236 mi, and geosynchronous orbit is around 26,199 mi (major axis) -- this is where satellites go.

The magnetosphere extends out way beyond that. The guys in the ISS are close enough that they won't take the full force of the solar flare in the face.

Data, its outerspace, you cant be outside of the ship/spacesuit... so they couldn't take it in the face anyway.

They're pretty much safe unless they're over the SAA, the Van (h)Allen belts provide good protection for objects in LEO, if they were in MEO or GEO then that would be a problem and necessitae shielding or at least a heavily shielded safe room.

Once you're outside the Van Allen belts you're in open country, there's no more outside force shielding you from radiation and you need to provide for your own protection.

Let's see if this works.

Spoiler


And yeah, I just realised my MEO should go up to GEO and HEO should be beyond that.
