If we find a large metallic Asteroid with a magnetic feild, could we try moving it into a lagrange point to block some solar flares/radiation from hitting a planet we are colonizing?
I think crashing it into the planet will be a more workable solution admittedly the planet would be uninhabitable for 500 years but giving it a magnetic field would be a huge step forward
@@ernestchadwell9069in the English language “we” is often used to represent a greater collective. In the reference post, they are using “we” to represent the human race; that of which they are presumably a member.
At that point wouldn't we just have the technology to build a magnetic field instead? Finding such a rare asteroid and moving it into a good position sounds about as complicated as just building a space construct with the same objective.
The problem with Spin launch is every time they have a launch failure during testing, they'll most likely have to completely rebuild that giant vacuum chamber...... But I wish them well, I'd love to see a rocket launched that way. Of course, I'd love to see the rocket miss the hole when it's released.... just once. 😁
Keep up the great work! This channel has become my preferred 'go to' channel. I much prefer your format and lack of repetitive background music. Thank you!
I want to comment about "We don't have that technology" ~we NEVER have technology until someone goes and builds it. Until 1849, we did not have the technology to flatten mountains in search of some nuggets of yellow metal. Before Spacex, everyone KNEW that it was impossible to land an orbital-class Booster. The point being, don't label as "preposterous" any technology that doesn't already exist. Predicting that something cannot be done is a recipe for being 100% wrong, 100% of the time.
Just because we have capabilities now that were regarded as impossible in the past, does not entitle us to assume that all impossible capabilities in the present day will become feasible in the future. Landing and re-using boosters is a big step forward for spaceflight, but is not an indication that mining Psyche will be possible any time soon.
@@allangibson8494 Forget about 16 Psyche, and look to the NEAs. We know of 10k+ "Apollo "group NEAs. The little piece that hit Chelyabinsk in 2013 was denser with metals than Earth's crust. We know of 1400 NEAs which are easier to reach than Mars, 400 easier than the Moon, 40 or so easier than Lunar orbit. Some meteorites are density 8+, greater then pure iron. King Tutt's rust-proof meteoritic steel dagger is 6% cobalt. The stuff is literally raining down on us. As for "profit", the ones easiest to reach are also the ones most likely to hit us.
The FAA should have rejected that report the monent they read that they hadn't been in touch with SpaceX. The resilting mass debris is the result of the weight, composition, and location of the major parts. The report mentions 10 ounces of debris, but if that is spread out over several miles, what is the heaviest chunk.
Do you think at some point in the future we could transport/purposefully crash an asteroid like this over to Mars to make mining/infrastructure/terraforming feasible? A video speculating would be amazing! Thanks for the video 🙏
It's entirely likely that we could gradually push one into Mars orbit to be another moon, and use materials from it to build a "Stanford Torus" habitat for the university city in Mars orbit, in virtually Earth-like conditions. Note that by the time we're doing this, we're mining NEAs and any questions of "cost" or "money" or "budget" go out the airlock,
Glad you addressed the Mining controversy around 16-Psyche. If predictions are anywhere close to true, there's enough Gold & other valuable metals on this Asteroid to break the world economy. We Don't want this thing mined, it could potentially flood the metals markets & ruin their values.
Currently, even with its prediction of metals, it still wouldnt even be economical to bring the asteroid and all its resources to Earth. Instead think about how valuable metals on objects like this could be used on places like our Moon or Mars to kickstart an in space manufacturing economy. We need this kind of material on the Moon and other celestial bodies if we want to continue to expand on projects like the Artemis missions.
The only thing it would “break” is the utterly ridiculous value given to gold and silver in the current economy. There are a lot of uses for cheap metals - the current cost of mining limits a lot of technology.
@@uuzd4s BHP Billiton has a space mining development division. When you casually drop ten billion dollars on a mine, space isn’t that expensive. And in space no-one complains about pollution of the environment or native land rights.
@@lukasyoffie Something along those lines is what I was thinking. I think if it were possible to place this asteroid in a Mars orbit (which is beyond NASA or JPL's technical abilities atm.) there could be some benefits over hauling those resources from Earth. Even if they could get this thing in an orbit that could safely be mined, you still gotta get the mining equipment to it. I just don't see it happening in this generation. I was just pointing out that the Worlds economy is mostly based in the available Gold on this planet. There's alleged to be enough gold on 16-Psyche to make every man, woman & child on Earth a multi Billionaire which would pretty much crash the world economy.
I love your space news format, one after another. It reminds me of the Mars base in DOOM 3 (the game) when the protagonist sees the news on the screen in the cafeteria.
Good luck to the Japanese but I think spin launch is a bad idea. It still smells like the insane efforts of a group of trust fund brats. It cannot carry humans or animals, has a very limited use case due to collosal g forces and utilises quite literally, a brute force technique approach to orbital space flight which is costly, dangerous and the opposite of elegance.
well, the point of flinging the rocket is to reduce costs by getting rid of most of the fuel needed. At the moment, most fuel needed in a rocket is to get the fuel for the rocket up, not directly to propel the rocket
9:19 as no news has cropped up untill now!!!! I was sitting around at lunch during school and I was outside, all of the sudden I felt like there was something strange going on and I looked up for pretty much no reason from my phone to see a 4x4 inch item slowly drifting down as if someone dropped a peace of paper. There were 2 other teachers that saw it happen I grabbed the piece of metal which has burn marks and soot of some kind and I used one of the orbiting websites and determined it could have Been a star link v1 that was predicted to burn up over the Great Lakes which are 200 miles east of where I was. I lost the piece of metal cause a teacher forced me to throw it away.
Although I agree that space orbital debris is an issue that needs resolving. In my own opinion I feel that some of these agencies have underlying agendas that are inhibitors of our progress in space exploration and the abilities for our nation to even move forward. Let them try to tell China or Russia to be more careful and good luck with that... Yes let's solve the issues at least here we're we can control our own work but to stop or try to find every stupid excuse in the book to hindering research and progress by companies like for example SpaceX is counter productivity and I consider it even anti-Amercan behavior. We need to get folks like Jeff Bazos; "don't know if I spelled his name correctly please forgive me", and others like Elon Musk to try to start a recovery company to clean up space but we need to have some kind of international agreement at hand to make this process work. Right now agencies like the FAA are just cutting thier noses to spite thier face. All in my own opinion yet I feel I have a point because while I care about safety I also don't like it when they cry wolf just to meet some political agendas or bureaucratic for that matter just to justify thier existence to the tax payers. We are in troubled times and a new and more challenging space race has evolved and we need to be aware of it or we will loose more than we think. It's actually terrifying to me to think that some tarrant over seas may control the spaces over my head considering that I see the evidence of thier clear disregard for human life even when it comes to thier own people. Hope our wake up call is not too drastic because it will be too late.
Human. Who's going to eventually create the mount again, where the deer lives free and healthy, where the animals can roam and enjoy their lives? Do we ever ask ourselves, why the gold is in the mountain, and what happens when we take the gold. Do we ever wonder, if there is any value of watching the nature be, and hand us all these examples on which we build onward. Change it into our favorable shapes. When we take everything of our true examples, what do we have left to learn from, to enjoy, to live with, to get inspired. I love that deer dearly, but I know I am not the one to choose, who owns the mountain. It teaches me to share and only take what we truly need and makes me wonder, what if that lover dies. Who will see the deer, who will say it is it's mountain. Who will say up to here we can, but from there we can't. Where is the understanding of the limits, and the hand that points, to where we could roam to fulfill our endless needs.
Well if we mine it then we would never have to fight over metals again and electronics would be cheap AF and technology since this material like Gold silver platinum would be cheap Technology would progress probably around 10x to 40x faster meaning within 100 years would would have tech that would of taken 200 more years to 500 more years to make Money is the reason why human kind is slow I would think it they mine it they wouldnt sell the tech but they would sell it cheaply to research centers that make technology better and cheaper the reason we move slow is because rare earth metals are rare so they cost a lot of money to just get 1 pound of it one thing I know we must do if we want to move around the solar system quicker is a moon base if we had a moon base we could build ships faster stronger and bigger and able to travel more further since its 1/6th the G of earth we could also do more experiments on the moon that would be way more deadlier if done on earth because the moon no lives on meaning you could make Anti matter and blow it up and not need to worry about the environment because the environment is already deadly
Its not even economical to bring this asteroid back to Earth. Instead think about how it could be used in space, on the Moon or even Mars, to kickstart a in space manufacturing economy. We need these resources on the Moon and other celestial bodies to continue to advance missions like NASA's Artemis missions.
Buddy if we brought back that asteroid it would be enough to pay the world debt over 10,000x and more yes we could bring it back its called drill holes deep and put c4 all over the inside of a part of it blow off a small section and have warden sats use Ion engines to propel small chucks into earth space then de orbit it and use parachutes parachutes will only slow it down so much and when it hits a shallow part of the ocean we can pull it up and mine it on land and you could easily spend 300 trillion to bring back the entire rock and do this hell you could even have the entire rock smack the moon since we dont live on the moon then when we are ready we can just go live on the moon use metal on the moon to make landing crafts that use the gravity of earth to pull the crafts back and they use the atmosphere as a brake system to slow down you saying its economically impossible to do this when its not its always possible unless you want the only planet able to maintain life to die from mining operations to extract low amounts of these metals you know how much money it cost just to mine a small bit of gold or platinum from the earth it cost a lot and pumps a ton of carbon into our atmosphere why you think everyone wants electric cars or hydrogen cars@@lukasyoffie
Humanity sadly always finds a reason to fight at one point in history we had wars over spices for food... The real problem is that we do not determine the rules of space and even if we don't mine it other competitive countries will and they don't give a dam about our noble ideals. Either way mining space will definitely devalue our standards on earth.
First of all, if we brought this back, the market for these materials would crash and they would be worth next to nothing if this asteroid does even contain the amounts of metal that we suspect, but could still be used to create lots of technology. Secondly, its illegal to send any sort of "weapon of mass destruction" according to the outer space treaty, so amounts of c4 that large would probably qualify as a weapon of mass destruction, so cant do that. You do realize how big this asteroid is right? I think even being able to turn this massive asteroid into manageble chunks would be incredibly expensive and not to mention the engineering of such a thing would be incredibly difficult because of how far away this asteroid is. You would need so many warden sats, and they would have to be capable of controlling themselves autonomously and be able to collect the exploded material. By the time we could go out to the asteroid and bring it back (probably more than 20 years considering it takes this mission 6 years just to get there) there may be people living on the moon or at least a few astronauts. Not to mention what slamming this huge asteroid into the Moon could do in terms of tidal affects or more, but yes the moon would be the best place for these resources. I didnt say it was impossible, just not economically feasible. You seem to be oversimplifying almost the entire operation that you are envisioning. @@factsforlife0O0

Starlink's response to the FAA strikes me as forceful but odd. If they really are 99% successful then why the indignation being reported by you and other sources. Or do they know the Earth is a big place and the fact that no one reported falling debris doesn't mean there wasn't any? And currently Starlink is only able to launch V2 minis. Falcon 9s can't deal with the full V2 Starlink much less the larger V3 just mentioned by EM. So the satellites themselves will become more massive PLUS Falcon 9s are not fully reusable. So the fifty or so Starlink launches just this year have given us fifty or so Falcon 9 second stages that will also deorbit with a lot more mass than a Starlink V2 mini. If Goldstein is right and only 1% of his satellites don't burn up that means that 50 out of the current 5,000+ constellation will make to the ground. It seems simple to extrapolate what will happen with a 40,000 satellite constellation.
Goldenstein didn't say that only 1% of sattelites don't burn up, he said that their post mission disposal success rate is at 99%, where he included hazard from the launcher, saying that the reusablility of the falcon 9 is a big factor there in.
Wait.....dude, please let me take a crack at this even before you start the video... I wanna see if I can guess THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER...THAT ROCK IS WORTH GAZILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF GOLD....AND THEY WANT IT,... DON'T THEY ?!?!? COME ON.... YOU KNOW THAT IM RIGHT...

If Goldstein is right and only 1% of his satellites don't burn up that means that 50 out of the current 5,000+ constellation will make to the ground. It seems simple to extrapolate what will happen with a 40,000 satellite constellation.
Goldenstein didn't say that only 1% of sattelites don't burn up, he said that their post mission disposal success rate is at 99%, where he included hazard from the launcher, saying that the reusablility of the falcon 9 is a big factor there in.
I would like to add, that Goldenstein explicitly states that spacex desorbited 325 sattelites and that all of them did burn up according to him
Wait.....dude, please let me take a crack at this even before you start the video...
