Mercury doesn't have gravity. It has Acceleration. 107,000 mph vs the Earth's 67,000. That means and probe sent to Mercury must be accelerated an additional 40,000 mph. Your other mistake is that the sun doesn't have gravity either. Think about it. The sun's mass is equal to 99.85% the mass of the entire solar system. So how can a Jupiter size planet which is .1% the mass of the sun, act on the sun from 100s of millions of miles away. It can't because mass does not attract mass. Thumbs down for not understanding something as simple as gravity being an artifact of Acceleration. The Reactionary force in Newton's Laws of motion.

Mercury is relatively uninteresting. Venus is basically hell. Mars is the only real option for the next step of human exploration.

After Mars, moons of Jupiter and Saturn are a must to explore more thoroughly as they are probably the best possibility for life.

[@micnorton9487]

There's NO possibility of living on any of these celestial objects, it would be easier by a million times to just construct full habitats on the ocean floor, the engineering would be similar except keeping pressure out rather than keeping pressure in... The reasons for doing this would be to try and survive an asteroid strike or solar eruption or supervolcano eruption, because even with one of these phenomena erasing a part of the atmosphere, the under ocean habitat would still be able to be viable with technology creating oxygen from the water.... There is simply no way to create soil on a totally sterile celestial object, and even the grit that is available would be totally unsuitable because of different chemical and isotopic concentrations... An atmospheric low pressure situation would eventually resolve somewhat by water vapor gradually increasing the pressure but that assumes that the sun's output is about the same.... What's really a pity is that these engineering problems could be solved and I'm sure various universities and private programs have people working on such pie in the sky options however, the longer we let governments or rather the corporate conglomerations that control governments waste resources and time and effort and treasure on war and other conflict, the less likely it's ever going to happen......

One interesting thing to consider is "removing" resources from Earth if we do start making bases elsewhere.

..........Why did you leave out half of the main reason its hard to reach mercury.? Yes the sun accelerates your ship but thats not the main issue. The main issue is the absolute insane amount of speed you have to have to get an intercept with mercury when you do a burn from earth orbit. It's a crazy amount of needed delta V. To get to mars only requires slightly more delta V then it takes to get to the moon. The delta V required for mercury is absolutely crazy.

Messenger had to be slowed down relative to the Sun AND relative to Mercury. As it fell inwards from Earth, the gravitational potential energy at Earth's orbital distance is converted into kinetic energy, causing the probe to be moving far quicker than an object in a circular (or nearly circular) orbit at Mercury's distance from the Sun. The flybys all slowed the probe.

In order to get Proxima Centauri in a reasonable amount of time, we would have to probably use multiple propulsion systems. Perhaps a laser sail propulsion system along with an ion plasma propulsion system as an assist, combined with an ultra fast launch speed, not unlike the New Horizons launch. The laser power would probably work best if in a stationary lunar orbit, similar to geostationary weather satellites. Just spitballing here, but I think it would be the best solution. Using multiple propulsion systems, I think we could get our probe(s) there in 35 to 40 years (for making such an ultra long trip, I think it would be best to send a multiple probe craft, where one could go to Proxima Centauri, while another two probes could be sent to the other two Stars, Alpha Centauri A and B. Possibly even a fly by of their planetary systems. The first encounter with another star, well, actually, multiple star systems, plus exoplanets, would be the zenith of scientific achievement.

Fun ELI5 Fact About Chips/CPUs: Satellites are equipped with more robust processors in sets of three that use the common value of two because radiation in space causes a ton of bit-flips. A bit flip is when a binary one is flipped to a zero vice-versa, causing shit like software crashing or a bsod. Yes, this even happens to your computer every single day, better systems exist these days so you are unlikely to know that it has happened. The reason it happens is because transistors are small as fuck, when they are hit with radiation they can flip, also, we've hit the limit where jumps between transistors make it really hard to find ways to decrease the size and run a stable OS.

My 6yo stepson told me a story the other day about the planets, he said that every planet in the universe has a purpose, he said God made those planets because depending on how you live your life on earth God will send you to one of those planets. He said that all the bad people are in hell, aka the sun. He said that he was here before, the first time he was an Indian, the second time he was black and that the bad people made him and his family collect some white stuff that made his fingers bleed (I think he's talking about cotton) and now he's Puerto Rican. Some people might think all this is made up but you need to realize his only 6yo why would a kid tell the story like that. He was telling me this thing and ask me if why was I crying and then he started crying with me. I never seen or heard a kid that young tell me a story of a previous life he lived. Creepy, scary, happy, sad, amazing.

We know that on the way to Mars the astronauts have to be able to 3D print new parts as needed. That is being tested on the ISS. For the fuel problem we know how to do it on Mars but the real problem is that NASA doesn't have a way to precisely land on Mars on a specific location, where the automated fuel production system would be located ahead of time, but this is the most feasible way to do it. Also the Mars spaceship will have to slow down by dipping into the atmosphere called "aero-braking". These strategies would greatly reduce the fuel requirement, possible cutting it by 2/3rd.

[@banana403]

I think the biggest hurdle to interplanetary travel is simply the limitation on speed. Its not like traveling from NY to LA where the distance remains a consistent 2,788 miles. Because planets orbit at different speeds, a delay of one day could mean tens of thousands of miles difference - a distance that we dont really have the technology to try to make up. Wed be like a dog chasing after a car.

[@pazsion]

gravity assit can propell faster than a planets orbit... you still need to show up as you get close... so you can slow down and let the gravity pull you closer. so theres a window of time your planning on. if we left earth at mars closest point... we would have landed humans on mars in 3-6 months with current tech. in 2022. itll be another 100 years or so for this to happen again.

[@tranquilsoothingsounds3334]

I wonder who designed it like that. Perhaps they designed it like that on purpose to show us that we shouldn’t be trying to live on other planets. Is it by chance that our default planet seems to be the best out of the ones that are potentially “accessible “ to humans ? And what are the odds of us finding ourselves in the best place possible for our survival in this whole vast universe? As it is right now, there is nothing that is essential for human survival that has to be sourced from beyond earth . Everything we need is here from water, food, fuel, everything even non essential things like precious metals etc . Life on earth is also self sustaining. Why on earth would you want to leave such an amazing place? Exploring space for interest in science and knowledge of the universe is ok , but not to seek the next place for human habitation because it is pointless and near impossible. All we need to do is stop messing up earth, and cherish it like our survival as a species depended on it.

There a lot of important things nobody is talking about. The long distances, our need to eat, and drink water to live. There is not enough room in the ship. Also the need to go to the restroom. Where will they do with it all. We need to bath as well. As far as fuel, we need to explore using nuclear energy rather the liquid fuel. Scientifically we are not read for space travel yet.

[@bettyg7710]

Because we have no accurate way of navigating, we throw are crafts out there and make several siting to get our position and then make course corrections. The corrections are because from our point of view, earth, we can not measure distances accurately enough to not need them. What will happen when we try to leave our solar system. We will be aiming for objects that are not there and we have no way of knowing where they went.

[@JFrazer4303]

Because everyone for decades has been caught in the pointless loop of saying nobody will launch such a big space effort because we don't have boosters to put up the parts, because nobody will build such boosters because nobody has a use for such big mission payloads because nobody will design such a mission because there are no boosters to lift it. Yes, for decades, we've heard this. If there were working competing production lines for SHLV boosters (SLS heavy or Starship or Energia or SaturnV equivalent for ~110tons to orbit are minimally sufficient but still small) we'd be there. The reason why we don't have bases on the Moon and Mars and other large efforts in space has not been because we lack the technology, or it's too expensive (during the timescale of Apollo, the US spent as much on cosmetics and large States spent more on liquor than we spent going to the Moon). Nor even has lack of public support been reasons stopping it from happening. It is solely because of a lack of political will and contrary desire by elected and appointed officials: we (or they for us) decided not to go. Sea Dragon is not quite necessarily the biggest rocket devised. The later larger version of the Convair Nexus lifted 900 tonnes with a 45 meter diameter payload separation plane. The later version of the Boeing AMLLV was a 20+ meter diameter SSTO VTOVL (self-landing back onto its launch prep base) for a few hundred tons to orbit. With 12 strap-on solid or liquid 8 meter diameter boosters; 1800 tonnes into LEO.
