my ai could be wrong again. but there may be hydrogen obtainable from solar winds. with this acquired we can use oxygen from the plants to combine with the hydrogen to form water.

we may need oxygen and hydrogen tanks.

for co two we could implement super slow burning carbon that I have seen made on a Chinese how its made channel. I am sure we will be able to find something to release co two I'm just unsure if we will be able to farm water from space... if we can get hydrogen the plants will give us oxygen and ai claims that at three thousand psi the gasses combine.

I like titling the orbiting farmlands O.F.F.A.s ORBITING FARMLAND FOR ALL.

in the future the population would be solved if you needed an OFFA in order to have a kid. no one would ever starve again

if the population is eight billion we need eight billion expandable crafts rotating with potatoes watermelon carrots peas, green beans, melons, cucumbers..... even possibly entire fruit trees.

"Science begets knowledge, opinion ignorance.
What would be the mass (weight) of 8,000,000,000 expandable craft.

What would it cost, in today's money, to put these into orbit?

What additional costs would apply to get these into operation?

How many million $ per lb would food, produced in this way, cost?

Cat :)

Although I am uncertain on the price for rocket fuel it was a good way to speak up and say we should waste our money on bigger and better things than killing each other. like world war three most die by munitions I know it different but I seen a lot of rockets as well

I have thought of solutions such as up to thousands of crafts combining where seeds only need to be replaced from automated compartment every ten years or more.. seeds are tiny you could store them in a tube that opens after automated harvest there is a glider that glides back to earth.

there should be ways of obtaining hydrogen or other trace elements in space. If we can obtain hydrogen from space the crops will produce oxygen the the Chinese wood produces carbon dioxide for the plant. when you compress oxygen with hydrogen you may get water.. possibly I've never tried it

Science is the answer not war. when the devil is just bad actions we need to not de evolve but evolve. there was a space race I suggest starting competing to see who can be the first country to have a million crafts that combine or not any way necessary.. science has the sky

Has anyone ever thought of avoiding gross over population as an answer?

Cat :)
sadly I believe the world is ruled by men that cannot show everyone empathy because there is no solution. does the man get to weigh one thousand pounds and do kids have to starve every day in other countries... reaching for the stars is what space . com is all about... for me any way.. I do love the updates on space progress... I even follow musk sometimes

we could use one rocket the size capable of launching a shuttle that expands as much as possible Google says it's four point six million per launch. I already reached out to Putin. on a letter you can send him letters via his government on the web. we should reach out to royalty and every nation as well.

OFFAS parts would all be machine manufactured making assembly easy. the cost would go down as investments pour in. because with enough money you can start your own resource industries

Sadly, I think the weight of solar panels (plus energy transformation into lift) would be excessive, to enable escape velocity.

I have my first option of using thick enough glass to block the same amount of sun as the atmoshpere.. how many windows would each craft need. at least four on each side. the windows should be strong and dyed the right color for the best temperature control and radiation blockage

What area of solar panels would be needed? A lot of CDs.

Cat :)
then perhaps using thick or tainted glass would be a better option. I still believe solar power would work fine. light bulbs could be all docked if needed and replaced via machine automation.

if its is four point six million in rocket fuel
and you can get one hundred and one thousand pounds into space according to google.
this leaves a lot of room for machine manufactured glass one side

a piece of glass that is twenty by one hundred feet four inches thick weighs thirteen thousand pounds. this leaves a lot of room for other goods

if I were royalty or a king with six hundred trillion dollars I would utilize this possibility. initially I wanted glass until I wanted the crafts to expand then I switched to solar power.

with one hundred billion the world may actually allow you to feed the starving children
