A proposed mission to Saturn’s moon Titan using NASA’s NEXT ion engine. The NEXT ion thruster is capable of delivering 236 milliNewtons of force over the course of the multi-year mission to deliver a satellite and a lander to Titan. For the Titan mission, both an orbiter and a lander could be sent to the distant moon, which lies more than 1 billion kilometres from the Sun.

Advised to forget mission to Titan for now,address the Doomsday rock and how to move it with these engines.Not logical to explore the system when humanity is under great threat from N.E.O’s.Extinction is not an option.
@TrickyNekro So you’ll never have any health problems then?
@Hexxle
Got a dick in your mouth and still talkin?
Please make the rest of the youtubers
a favor and shut the fuck up…
PS…. big dick is bad for your health….
@TrickyNekro You do that… Sad fuck.
@Hexxle
Yeah yeah… Next time… I’m gonna do a lecture…
just for you….
on youtube…
And then the beautiful knight comes and
saves the queen…..
Sucker……
@TrickyNekro By the way you use that shithouse grammar, I’m thinking you don’t know shit.
@GreenFont
Nop… computing is the correct way…
We know what to do…. in some fields…
But we also need to automate it… just because
somethings happen faster that a single man
can react….
@Hexxle
I say we lack the technology not the will
or at least the publicity….
It impossible with today maths and
compute power to predict all possible
outcomes of such a chaotic systems…
Why can’t you just think for a moment, that
there maybe some guys posting know something
more on somethings… just because
this maybe the whole fucking field of study.
@TrickyNekro The existence of an International Space Station clearly says otherwise.
Still a hell of a long time.
how long would it take to get to Titan using an ion engine compared to a VASMIR engine?
I don’t judge ion engines, I know the work, even in troposphere, that little hobby lifters are proof of concept, I just say it’s a too long a journey just to say it’s gonna work right out of the box… The smallest high velocity debris could destroy vital things. We need more speed to travel in space not more patience…
in 1997 The Boeig HS-601HP communication satellite was already carrying XIPS ion Engine for positioning control. Moreover, the New Horinzons spacecraft is carrying ion engine for traveling to pluto
Yes… surely… if comets have a horn and they just beep beep out of the way… XD…
We terribly lack the technology to go out in space… that’s the truth…
I guess you can call them that. It would require less energy to shoot stuff up from the moon to other places, so launches can be safer. But you’d have to get there first :P
space gates? lol
I’m thinking maybe the slow growth of space travek is due to the fast growth of computing, all attention is focused on computers right now and as a result, every decade of computing is equal to 100 years of development in any other field.
Lol over 16 countries are developing programs where they are going to build stuff on the moon to lay way for permanent human development there. What are you talking about, not gone back to the moon?
@GuitaristontheFloor Well why the hell haven’t the even gone back to the moon. I mean they got people to the moon about ten years after they first went into space.
@GreenFont @GreenFont I can’t agree more.
Actually, our technology has grown considerably since th first lunar landing. This is complex stuff.
Lol shit?
Do you have any idea how complex these things are? This isnt some science fiction movie were we develop flying cars and space gates in 20 years. Wake the fuck up.
Sorry to change the subject but this is space-related.
To see a partial summary of the clear evidence that the Apollo moon missions were faked, google “The Naked Scientists”. In the “New Theories” section of the forum there’s a thread entitled “Did We Land on the Moon?”. The summary is on page 15. It’s the 7th one from the top.
Once people have seen the hoax evidence, there’s nothing anyone can do to make them believe we went to the moon.
Who knows what else they’ve faked.
interesting braking method..
Forty or so years on from the first moon landing and our space technology is still shockingly shit.
