I think one of the big problems we have with finding aliens is that we go out looking for life exactly like ours.

Lmfao, just learned that a decent chunk of all the stuff we launch into space is powered by ex soviet technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RD-180 quote:During the early 1990s, General Dynamics Space Systems Division (later purchased by Lockheed Martin) acquired the rights to use the RD-180 in the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) and the Atlas program. As these programs were conceived to support United States Government launches, as well as commercial launches, it was also arranged for the RD-180 to be co-produced by Pratt & Whitney. However, all production to date has taken place in Russia. The engine is currently sold by a joint venture between the Russian developer and producer of the engine NPO Energomash and Pratt & Whitney, called RD Amross.

The main reason why humans have any spaceflight ability at all is because of communists, the main factor driving further spaceflight development in the west is once again primarily fear of ascendant communism and a lack of new markets for western capital to exploit. I love that the us chose to prop up what was left of Russia's space program in the 90s in order to exploit Soviet technology and stop their rocket scientists from loving off to China and in the end it made no difference lmao What a fuckin time to be alive

Hatebag posted:How about algae? I think that could work pretty well for carbon capture. I think you'd need to construct a vertical structure so that you could have layers of algae + water in a stack in transparent containers in order to make it really effective. Maybe at a big enough scale it could also serve as a water battery for a solar power plant too. It's my guess for the best scalable tech but I'd think you would want to just pump air through the water and put it on some lovely land so you could make it really big. Just a lake sized carbon capture plant. I read about an interesting technology using cupric oxide as a catalyst doing something similar to what you describe though in an artificial leaf.

Just a lake sized carbon capture plant. A lake sized algae ditch isn't a bad idea. i think my idea for having it be stacked containers is that you need to remove the algae periodically so that more algae can grow, so you could have staggered algae growth cycles in each bucket and remove the grown algae, and having the trains stacked vertically would allow it to also be a water battery. Also, some algaes produce useful compounds including oils, so those could be harvested as byproducts. But you could also do that with baffles and gates with a lake. The artificial leaf thing (https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/858192) seems neat, but it requires a stream of co2 to produce methanol. That could be part of a co2 scrubber for a fossil plant, though, just slap a series of those bad boys on the side and turn some portion of co2 in the stack into methanol. I guess the low tech version of that is just running the exhaust gas into a greenhouse full of tomatoes because tomatoes produce crazy yields at higher co2 levels. I remember reading about a trash burning power plant concept where they wanted to use the trash fire exhaust to grow tomatoes and then i think smush the trash fire tomatoes up and feed them to tilapia and then grind up the tilapia to use as fertilizer or some poo poo.

I think you're still over complicating it. Just drag a net back and forth with a couple of winches on rails. Start at one end and finish at the other, when you're done the algae has regrown at the start.

The problem is surface area. If you wanna make a passive co2 absorber on a terraforming scale there's no real way to do it without releasing a whole lotta co2 in the process unless you do one of those crazy civilian nuclear weapons scheme like people came up with in the 50s to make a huge artificial caldera the size of the Mediterranean sea or something. I think at the scale you'd need to do it for it to be useful you probably wouldn't need to remove the algae at all, though. I guess one way to do it would be to turn a coastal desert into an artificial sea using nuclear weapons. Yes! It's the king solomon solution to western sahara! Nuke it into an algae canal! Then we'll find the true mother!

Just a lake sized carbon capture plant. there have been attempts to use algae to produce biofuels but none of them proved economical. not sure if they could ever get positive EROI from it either. those technologies used either an open ditch sort of deal, or large clear tubes full of water. exxon invested in it i think up to the 2000s.

The real problem with bigass algae farms, besides all the ones the stop it from happening in the real world, is that it just adds ever so slightly more buffering capacity for atmospheric CO2. Same as planting a forest, any CO2 absorbed is still in the carbon cycle until you actually sequester it. That can't happen under capitalism because you can't make people pay you for making the world less bad, so you gotta find some way to sell, uh, a buttload of algae. Maybe there's some side products to be had but they'd have to be awfully valuable to support everything else. I could see a future for them producing biodiesel or w/e for applications that just can't get away from petroleum, but imho the biggest gain from doing something like that would be feeding agricultural runoff through the algae ponds so downstream river deltas stop being anoxic death zones. Oops my spill dike collapsed and now the Mississippi has an anoxic flood of algae scouring everything living downstream and covering the shores in biodiesel

moving carbon through the cycle while harnessing solar energy on the way would be a net gain. but for now it remains a waste of time.

Most of them aren't organized and theres a few that aren't actually space-themed but were in batches with space stuff that I bought so that's why you'll see one that's about hot air balloons, for example, but by far most are space-related                         two of this batch due to the hologram      If any of them are too hard to see and you want me to get another picture of them, let me know and I'll get a better pic.
