Mars-Venus-Phobos and Deimos Manned Flyby Mission Starting 2034
2034 Earth–Venus–Mars opportunity looks promising. 10–15 on-orbit refueling operations may be needed to make a crewed ship full. (A version 4 Starship could refuel with five tanker launches. Most refueling can be done at an altitude of 180–200 km, made possible by Starship’s size. The final refueling may be performed at a higher altitude of ...

Casimr Microsparc Nanostructure Technology Taps More Than Chemical or Nuclear Energy
Sonny White and the Casimir Team have created nanostructures to get microwatts of continuous energy (could last centuries or millenia) by leveraging the Casimir force. In Casimr Energy there are fewer virtual particles between plates with a tiny gap which creates a force by having more virtual particles outside it. The first-generation microsparc delivers performance ...
