Are rockets da best?

in space •  3 years ago 

A very twisted but probably cheap Earth-Moon transfer:

  • maglev train on "renewables" in tropics
  • plane that burns surrounding oxygen
  • ionocraft to reduce reaction mass to carry
  • solar sail with standard chemical or maybe soon nuclear thrusters
    you can use nitrogen outside of atmosphere, bonus points for expanding your sail with satellite debris
  • many-many revolutions with constant steering
  • pretty neat if someone have already built railgun brake on the Moon so you can bring less fuel.
