A English group is creating a project to build a hotel in space more or less about 450km above the surface. Lei
me the news and enthusiasm, as I like to go. But just lei website I realized it's a scam. And if it is very difficult.
The idea of \u200b\u200bthem, I guess ignorant and creating an image falsely idyllic feel to the space port on a Caribbean island, it seemed reasonable to me because it is closer to the Ecuador (and therefore NEED TO less energy to reach orbit) also had the advantage of warm beaches in the hotel of land in a Caribbean island.
And the method to reach the orbit is magnetic levitation and rockets. An electromagnetic rail track with a acceleration of the spacecraft to reach the speed of sound, and then turn on the rockets. That seemed great, the amount of energy is reduced greatly. But ... ..
And there's the paste, and so I say it's a scam . The least likely place to make a space port is the Caribbean, as is the way to several hurricanes a year, and either one can destroy the facility. Of course you may be landing elsewhere, and to land in the middle of a hurricane no is something easy
But let's assume that half have contingency to avoid the hurricane destroyed the space port. The magnetic levitation
, and more if they want to raise a ship of about 2 or 3 tons NEED TO much energy. But I'm talking serious power, perhaps enough electricity to light a town of about 12,000 people per shot or more, something reasonable would be about 20.000 people.
Where will that energy? Fuel a power plant would be large, expensive and under used most of the time. No talk of a nuclear reactor, would be madness and costs would skyrocket.
Where do you think make that electricity? That
do not say.
And I doubt that they can get.
But even in the unlikely event that succeeded, that method of magnetic levitation at sea level is inefficient, because the spacecraft will oppose a greater amount of atmosphere. That would increase the amount of energy needed, but also heat the craft much more.
A method of magnetic levitation to put into orbit satellites or ships would be more effective if done from a high place. Say
space 3600mts port is a high, the amount of atmosphere would be much lower, and also the air is much less opposed to the progress of the ship. South of Bogota
much closer to Ecuador and several stop to that height or higher, large enough to make a track more than 3 km long. Since there would be much less energy to operate the maglev and if they make a power plant for the rest of the time functions can sell that electricity to neighboring villages.
Here in Venezuela on the Butt paramo zones are large enough to make the space port, but in Bogota is more about Ecuador.
If I were in Africa in Kenya, Burundi and Congo have the same high mountains to ahcer port space of these features would be even better because it would give currency to these very poor countries.
also may be on the island of New Guinea has stopped and is quite exotic high place. But do not tell me what they do on a Caribbean island. That is false, and if enpeñan failed.
My hypothesis is more credible than a simple scam to grab the unwary, with money and little scientific training to realize the obvious kits that have this project.
