LEO has too much latency and has too many uncontrollable points of failure


Although have you heard of OuterNet?
https://www.outernet.is

They're doing broadcast stuff from sats and are throwing up cubesats later this year, along with hopefully shipping their receiver for the planetwide signal later this year too.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lantern-one-device-free-data-from-space-forever (They changed the design so check the updates to see the current one)

You currently can use it for free if you have a receiver and dish, but only in NA, EU North Africa and some other places.

I backed it and hope they complete it, as they already had a service established so I'm sure they'll complete it someday. Had some delays due to partnering with a sattelite company and redesigning the lantern to also support some potential up-stream data rather than just 100% downstream.

Would better communication between campaigns and organizations really make that big a difference? Maybe with the balkanization of the left one of our first hurdles will be some sort of solidarity charm offensive?

Some of the largest coasters are about 120 meters tall (we'll call that ~150 m barrel length)

In order to leave Earth's orbit you need to hit about 1100 meters per second.

We'll call 5 g's the maximum 'acceptable' acceleration.

If we need to hit 11000 m/s in 150 m that means we need to come up to speed in an average of .015 seconds putting us at a roller coast car full of very dead humans.


This isn't the velocity needed to reach LEO which is probably a lot lower but that poo poo would require a bunch of math with trajectories and gravity and I really don't feel like doing that. :v:

e: Oh huh it was easier to find than I thought. 7800 m/s in 150 m gives us about .02 seconds.

Yes, I should be doing integrals on the acceleration to actually find velocity. No I'm not going to do it I'm lazy. The numbers are so extreme that I can tell you right now that using a roller coaster to launch people into LEO will in fact kill them.

This dude is running for Barbara Boxer's open Senate seat in California. He has no chance but he's got a very Bernie-like platform. He's partaken in a life of civil rights and green energy activism and wants electoral reform and money out of politics.

if anything I lobby big public radio by being a donor

the thing is because I'm also a millenial and a major donor, they actually listen to me and ask me for ideas

So now I'm talking with their producers and stuff that like me a lot (I hit off with them all really well) to try and help give them a breath of fresh air for doing cool things that millenials would give a poo poo about

for instance, not just streaming on their website anymore and getting into twitch creative for streaming and stuff
