The case for an existing Secret space program. What does the community think?
Dear Space Decentral members,
My name is Paul and I'm new to this decentralized platform. I'm 26, and though my experiences aren't related specifically within sciences or space exploration, I've had a great interest in sciences and space, including the study of consciousness exploration.
My p...

Plasma beam network for fast travel across the solar system
This seemed like the appropriate place to share my crazy-far-out vision for the future of space travel.
If you’ve looked at my SMAP proposal, or really any of my other posts on this forum, you’ll know I’m very enthusiastic about a propulsion technology called the plasma magnet sail, which is a...

Alternative power generation and storage
Solar PV is the most common power generation method in space, and chemical batteries are the most common power storage method in space. Let's discuss other possible means of generating and storing power for spacecraft and their payloads.

Proposal: Engineering Plants For Vertical Farms Feasibility Study
Engineering Plants For Vertical Farms Feasibility Study
Vertical farming with hydroponics offers a precise way to deliver scarce nutrients and water to plants in a way that uses more of the available space in an enclosed area. These features seem to make vertical hydroponic farming a perfect ...

Giving Mars a magnetosphere might be doable near-term
I ran across this (https://medium.com/our-space/an-artificial-martian-magnetosphere-fd3803ea600c) blog post, which presented a design for a spacecraft capable of generating a magnetic field big enough to protect all of Mars from solar particle radiation. The design uses a 415 megawatt nuclear ...

Proposal: Low Mass Boring Object (LMBO) How low can you go?
There may be many benefits to boring holes and filling them with inflatable structures. To make this style of space architecture feasible we need a boring machine that can be realistically transported, maintained, and operated in space environments.
I'm proposing that we:
Explore which ...
