[@LeftOverMacNCheese]

[@podhoubishit]

One of the best RSS/RO thaks for making good content

[@SomeoneNamedTygget]

Assuming that SpaceX hits their goal of launching each Starship for $2 million, launching all of this to space would only cost around ~70 million USD. Developing and constructing the payloads would cost WAY MORE than that, but a $70 million launch cost is insanely cheap for something of this scale.

[@43Jodo]

Triple? Try 10,000x. 700BIL is a conservative estimate for something like this. Just the crewed part of this mission is ~5 years. The whole thing, from design stage to first crew return, would span decades. MW rated nuclear reactors, VASIMIR, building the largest spacecraft ever **twice,** Earth launch for every damn piece for some godforsaken reason instead of in-orbit assembly/lunar ISRU. All that for a month on the surface for 3 guys. Imagine you're told you'll be one of the 3 who get to babysit the orbiter while everyone else goes and lands. Your entire astronaut career, your lifetime radiation budget, a decade of your life to get that close and no further. The OP's video makes the sensible decision to bring everyone down to the surface and back, but that's not what the paper proposes. This isn't Apollo. You're not going to get to land on a later mission if you get picked for the orbiter. This is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime mission for safety reasons alone, ignoring costs. Sure, someone has to stay with the ship, but you could at least design your ISRU and lander to allow for a crew rotation 2 weeks in. Of course, that would balloon the mass budget even further. Nothing like this will ever happen, period. Serious crewed exploration of the outer planets will be a stretch even with a robust cislunar economy. As some other commenters have pointed out, I really wouldn't be surprised if the first crewed missions to the outer planets launch from Mars instead of Earth. That's how far out we're talking.

[@SomeoneNamedTygget]

@@43Jodo That is one of the most pessimistic and incorrect takes on spaceflight I've ever seen. $700 bil is a ludicrously high price tag. Even if each craft individually cost as much to build as the entire ISS, it'd still be over $100 bil cheaper than your estimate. Not to mention the fact that it'd be insanely cheaper to build given that A) a significant portion of the ISS' price tag was launch costs which Starship alleviates, and B) the crafts are mostly just structure that radiators are mounted to. Of course radiation would be a problem but nowhere near lifetime-dose levels. Radiation shielding on the reactors, crew launching to meet the craft just as it's ready to leave the Earth-Moon system, going to Callisto specifically to avoid most of Jupiter's radiation, shorter round trip time due to the flight path and efficient engine, and all that's not to mention whatever radiation shielding they have in the actual crewed section. Also, while I agree that a mission to the Jovian system and beyond aren't likely to happen before 2100, if NASA (and more importantly, congress) really wanted to, they could probably get people to Callisto in 20-25 years using NASA's current budget.

[@43Jodo]

@@SomeoneNamedTygget Apollo all-in was ~300BIL, of which about a 3rd were the launch vehicles. I see no possible way the multiple Apollo-class programs that would precede a mission like this would somehow cost less. Just take a look at the chart at the end of the first study in the description and tell me that's not a hundred billion in development work alone. And it's not like that chart is anywhere near complete, it just lists SOME of the stuff we have 0 experience with. That chart is JUST for the surface mission, not the rest of it.

[@SomeoneNamedTygget]

@@43Jodo I feel you should know that the price you're using for the Apollo program also includes Gemini, Mercury, and just about all of the infrastructure NASA uses today. A fairer estimate of just the development of the Saturn V, it's testing campaign, and all of the lunar missions is closer to ~$25 bil in today dollars. I'm not going to claim that a mission like this would be cheap, of course it won't be, especially if they started working on it right now. But, many of the technologies required for a mission like HOPE are already being developed for other projects, which lowers the future cost as it means they don't have to develop cutting edge tech and instead only need to implement already existing tech. In fact, automated precision landing and cryogenic metals have already been developed, Advanced EVA development is undergoing for Artemis and NASA's vague Mars plans, cryogenic mass transfer is being worked on by SpaceX with some help from NASA, and a nuclear powered rover will be landing (hopefully in one piece) on Mars tomorrow. The reason that Apollo was so expensive was because they had to build all their stuff from scratch while they still barely had the technology for jet travel. By the end of the century I'd be surprised if something like this would be that crazy of an undertaking.

[@Alex-je4tf]

imagine renting Nasas computer to run this kind of crafts without lags xD. awesome work, frome the engineering persepctive to the code for the landing. Everything seemed so smooth(except the last landing with the small wigle on the landing Pad :P). (And thats beeing said by an aerospace student) Keep up that great work, couldnt thought of a better way to get to Callisto, and im not even talking about getting there xD

No, I simply added a modular fuel tanks definition with zero boiloff and used that for the tanks. I gave the tanks a relatively high dry mass to justify the zero boiloff but with the other tech used in this mission, zero boiloff hydrogen tanks felt quite reasonable :D The tank definition looks sth like this: +TANK_DEFINITION[Cryogenic] { @name = Cryogenic (refrigerated) @TANK[LqdHydrogen|LqdOxygen] { %loss_rate = 0 %wallConduction = 0 } }
