Why oh why do you people keep beating the He3 thing to death. There is the close approximation of no He3 on the moon. The order of 1 part per *billion*. There is no possible future where mining the moon for He3 makes any sense at all.
Not for nine months. Not even close. You were going land to land and would spend about a month at sea in any one stretch. Also the air around you is breathable, the water below you has food in it. So not comparable i wounder about you ppl that compare these things. You clearly have *no* idea about the orders of magnitude of difference between the 2 endeavours.
Well I just got this great offer to help out a nigerian prince! Oh and another dead relative in africa i have never heard of. They will give me millions, i just have to give em 50k for transaction fees. I mean you clearly don't take transaction fees out of the wad of cash being sent to you now do you.
Seriously there are a *lot* of stupid people with money.
And as i said 600tons a year is a lot smaller than the original figure of thousands of tons a day and it don't think that first figure is realistic at all. If you could somehow get an atmosphere on mars, maintaining it would be trivial by comparison.
Also you can get really interesting results if you use very heavy gases like SF4 or UF6. Reduces total mass quite a bit and loss rates in some cases.
LOOK it up you dumb arse. I majored in astrophysics. Platinum rich means like a few parts per thousand to maybe 1% or something. No sold. The fucking thing is bigger than a lot of mines we have on earth.
Also as a result of not shooting everyone in the face, the police in NZ/AUS are generally not hated. It makes a pretty big difference. Where in the US the feeling is that they are out to get you. And my own experience is that they probably are [in the US].
Soo by cheaper you mean reconfig an entire VSLI assembly line to solve a single thing? You just gave new meaning to ridiculously expensive. Seriously put up or shut up. Show the proof of analog electronics superiority. You do know the BEAM guy never said it was superior either right.
Fact is digital is cheaper, more robust and more flexible.
The gravity is plenty to hold on to a atmosphere. If you have enough of it it would last a very long time. But it is a *lot* of atmosphere, where you would get such peta tonnage of volatiles and move it, is the trick.
Well we do know mars could hold a breathable atmosphere for many millions of years. The physics of gravity and a gas is pretty straightforward. However as you pointed out, you need a lot of atmosphere to make it work. that has to come from somewhere.
You may want to do the math. Solar wind doesnt strip that much away at all. That is why it takes Billions of years. That is 1 000 000 000 years or more.
You may want to look up your facts from something better than where you get them from. There are these almost stainless steel type asteroids that have a high level of Pt group elements. In the parts per thousand or even higher. But there is nothing even close to a solid gold or even 1% gold. Also as the native americans said "when will you learn you can't eat gold". Seriously in space you don't need gold, you need food and air and stuff. And it turns out we have plenty of that here.

Hell start with water than someone hasn't shat in would be better.
np-hard is about how the problem scales. Genomes and indeed a cell has finite complexity. It is bounded. NP or not.
also it is not a np problem.
as long as you don't smoke anywhere near me. And would it killyou to use a breath mint. You guys stink.
Yea not even close and evolution doesn't work that way. Stop getting your science from Hollywood.
Or you could take the helicopter.

It progresses any 401k with shares in apple.

Clearly you are white.
It is a Mad Max reference. To the original even.

I am not worried. Compared to the average space nutter, I look positively cleaver. You are well below average.
LOL you quoting something that give ZERO numbers. Look up what platinum rich means. It does not mean what you think it means.

You don't understand anything at all about orbital mechanics or rockets do you.
nukes designed not to have much fallout don't. Oh and the surface of mars is already blasted by cosmic rays and the such already.

When i watch movies i picture Scarlett playing *every role*. That way even boring movies look great :D.
