This is the subreddit of the Living Universe Foundation. Our dream is to see humanity take life to the stars.

In NewMars.com (forum) there is a post which is following Mars around the Sun. New Years on Mars occurred on Earth day 2019/03/24. Mars has passed longitude 180 degrees in its stately progression. The calendar is now on Sol 383 or later.

If you are interested, the concept is for a participant to take responsibility for development of a virtual plot on Mars, one kilometer square on the surface, in a community called Sagan City (2018).
Participants will interact with each other to specialize in one or more of the knowledge areas which will be needed to sustain civilized life on Mars.

In addition, tahanson43206 is participating in a membership outreach campaign at NewMars forum. In an effort to build up a virtual business community focused upon Mars, messages are being send to newly registered members, inviting them to participate in the Hacienda topic.

A new branch of the My Hacienda topic is open, in addition to the previously reported Devon Island branch. This new branch considers an implementation of Sagan City (2018) on an island in Norway. This island is inhabited, and international arctic research stations are already encouraged by the government.

In the past week, a variety of topics have been under discussion as usual.

Update 2020/08/22: A 3D Printer model of the rotor of a proposed "Big Wheel Gyroscope Passenger Transport" is available for viewing at Shapeways.com, in the shop set up for tahanson43206.

The dimensions of the rotor are defined by physics. The number of cradles for SpaceX Starships is under review.

The version available for viewing has 66 ports, arranged in rings of 36, 18 and 12. Because actual Starships will have appendages such as steering fins, the ports need to be larger. A revised design is under consideration that would offer 18 ports in the outer ring, while retaining 18 and 12 inside. The total complement would then be 48, which would represent a population of 4800 people if 100 passengers and crew are booked into each Starship.

The design allows for as few as two Starships to be loaded. Since the rotor must be precisely balanced, the number of Starships assigned to berths in the structure will be determined by load calculations.

The dimensions of the rotor are defined by physics. The number of cradles for SpaceX Starships is reduced to 48.

The total complement is now 48, which would represent a population of 4800 people if 100 passengers and crew are booked into each Starship. However, the vessel will be large enough to accommodate passengers and crew who are not part of the Starship complement.

The design allows for as few as two Starships to be loaded. Since the rotor must be precisely balanced, the number of Starships assigned to berths in the structure will be determined by load calculations.

As of 2020/08/28, a second initiative is underway. This interplanetary ship design is more modest, but event this smaller vessel is in design to carry up to 1000 passengers and crew. The discussion of this vessel design is under way in the NewMars.com/forums Large Ship topic.
