Interested in designing and instigating the construction of a real 1G Centripetal Space Station in Low Earth Orbit and elsewhere

Joined August 2020
Starting with the basics, from the center of SASSY, the hub is 30m long, 9m wide (longest outside diameter), 7.794 (shortest outside diameter), with 15cm panels. Anyone who wants to extrapolate or work on this is welcome. Expecially if you're an AutoCAD guy

The biggest issue the US faces is military meddling in construction. There should be requirements, but change orders need to go away. Every. Damned. Time. Every company should be free to design the best weapon it knows how, 2 are chosen, the are built en masse. End of story.
Korean ship building is incredible, it’s frustrating that American ship building start ups aren’t learning from them. There are steps before autonomous welding, but who cares I guess

We shouldn't have bought 200 F-22s, we should have bought 200 F-22s AND 200 F-23s. Probably would have been about the same cost in the end or only slightly higher.

@grok, got any good anecdotes of government meddling during final design/construction and change orders leading to bad results? Or going in on the 2nd best solution only to realize that maybe the other option was better?

I'd like to amend my statement to say that our bigliest President ever who is also the bestest President ever and can do no wrong has hit it out of the park with the nuclear power on military bases mandate, and can only do it more bigly by making them full sized reactors.

Make Military Bases Nuclear Powered Again!

1/ NASA wants commercial space stations to replace the ISS by 2030. Its own March 2026 assessment found no self-sustaining market for them. Since then, the ground has shifted further. Here's what's changed and why the plan still looks shaky. 🧵

I don't think this was the first time I said it but it's been for at least 3 years, so good on the Trump admin for starting it.
We should task the military with building nuclear power plants on or just outside any military base that qualifies for nuclear power as a military objective, as we did with interstate highways and simply fold it into the existing military budget, say, $100B/year for 30 years.

Like, okay, why are we doing robots for doing the dishes? We need "Repair Bot" that knows how to solder, unscrew things, do sealants and tapes, etc. Swap the screen on your telephone. Change your tire. Doesn't need to be humanoid at all, more like a rolling work desk.

Trump is a jackass, but the overall benefits are undeniable. I've been harping about a "nuclear plant on every [domestic] military base" for years and somehow this announcement slipped right under the radar: straitstimes.com/world/unite…

I hate Elon's foreign policy ideas as much as anyone but you can hate those things and love everything else about how he's saving the US money and keeping us ahead of every other country while creating tens of thousands of jobs.
Musk needs to be arrested, fleeced and deported….. American tax payers have given MUSK / Space X over $16 billion. We need answers for why he’s helping RUSSIA NOW.

Peaceniks call anyone willing to fight for their people and land, or anyone who believes in justice for the invaded, "warmongers". Elon just needs to stop talking and go back to work.
May the bloodthirsty warmongers, who push for a war that never ends, burn in hell!

ChatGPT did a surprisingly good job building out two of my modular home designs, but started to fail as I added more. It seems like it gets confused by previous iterations. Will try again later to start from scratch. Does have a few weird errors though.

Actually, a lot of small errors. But if you don't look at it too hard, you get the idea. Central 2m utility backbone and 2 flanking 5m x 12m "wings" that can be added or modified or stacked to suit. This allows mass production with differentiation of finish/layout/level/m2

I think what Elon does is infinitely more important than what he says and one of the things he could have done and could still do to rehabilitate his image would be to send 100 Cybertrucks to UA as robotic ambulances and delivery vehicles. Humanitarian. Great test of FSD/truck.

I think he truly means well, but he got the "broke virus" and he simply doesn't see it. He actually believes the Zelenskyy is corrupt, Ukraine is a money laundering op, that Zelenskyy murdered an American journalist (creepy manosphere weirdo), is dragging kids off the street.

I just hope he recovers from it. He should visit Ukraine and see what's really going on.
