FANTASTIC! VIDEO & MUSIC I thought I was right there! My daughter does 3 D
animation, (Art Institute of Los Angeles)

Seems odd to use LM descent engine for LOI…also for the burn out of earth
orbit for TLI, you would not be pointed at the moon..you aim for where the
moon will be in 3 days. At 6:30 it shows the TEI burn with the earth in
view…this burn occurs much earlier on the back side of the moon. Also if
the earth phase is full at 6:30 , then that side of the moon should be
illuminated, not in shadow as depicted

With a few years of animation classes, and an expensive animating program…

True, but most of these NASA animations are a little on the pricey side.

All this can be done today, problem is that nobody gives a fuck.

Well, Skylon has thrusters! But i dont think that whole Rendezvous at the
end does make any sense…

The Space Shuttle docking with the ISS proves you wrong.

Dont forget that mars has LO0WER gravity than earth ALSO you dont know WHAT
is the ISP of the engines and the fuel capacity of the module AND the
weight of the module. Just pointing this out 😉

People dont do it because nasa dosent have enough money :-/ Its really sad
to see what a fully funded spaceprogram could do. not this 1% crap NASA is
on now 🙁

I do not think it can be done today. If we did give a damn we could
definitely do it in 10 years time. In about 15 years time we will have
advanced 3D printers embedded on robotics systems that we can send there to
create settlements.

2026? Do you intend to visit Elon when you get there?

Unfortunately not enough as it seems .. Great we have visionaries like Elon
Musk at least .. He seems to be a guy that can get the job done..
Brommes

this all looked feasible until the skylon popped up .. Why would they dock
with it ?? They could just use the atmosphere as they usually do ? Engines
are quite a bit faster now, seems like the journey can be cut to around
180days ..

it’s possible to calcylate it so that iit works but the chance of it
working is probobly something like 1 or 2%

why has the astronaut got a european flag on his arm? thats not such a good
idea due that lots of european nations generally don’t like each other…

It means they get a controlled landing and the capsule may not be able to
do re-entry after the aerobraking. The heatshield could have worn away.

Actually, the docking shouldn’t be too hard, compared to say docking the
Shuttle to Mir or the ISS. The lander is pretty big, and with the low
martian gravity and very little drag on the way up and so low T/W needed,
it doesn’t need to be built like a cylinder to keep structural mass down.
It’s fairly large and carries what seems to be 3 astronauts for a short
time, so I don’t see why it couldn’t have about 4.5 km/s delta-v.

<< That shouldn't be a problem with Skylon since it's rapidly reusable, but current rockets like Atlas V or Ariane 5 would not be able to pull off a mission like this without taking up a full launch schedule for a year and eating up military-like budgets for a few missions. A mars mission should be affordable and sustainable and without either skylon or a Heavy lifter that's not possible.
Kerbal And Conquer

The entire mission is a proof of concept that Skylon can be used for
exploration. And guess what? Skylon doesn’t exist and the technology to
make it doesn’t currently exist either. That’ll be at least 2022 before
Skylon flies. You want to do it with current EELVs? It looks like each of
those transfer vehicles would require tens of launches to be assembled.
This current mission would require 6 of those ships. So 12 billion dollars
just for launch costs. >>>

Not neccesarily. The Dragon capsule doesn’t have much more than that either
atm.
Sarge Rho
November 12, 2013 at 4:46 am
Yes, they have their own thrusters.
Sarge Rho
November 12, 2013 at 5:19 am
This particular mission can be done today, all the neccesary technology
exists. The modules the transfer stages are made of are no different from
rocket stages we’ve been using for the past 60 years, exept they don’t have
an aerodynamic hull.
