Enzmann Echolance: Reach For The Stars

Product Information

A three million ton ball of frozen deuterium would fuel nuclear fusion rocket engines contained in a cylindrical section behind that ball with the crew quarters. Immerse yourself in a trailblazing revelation – The Enzmann Echolance is here to redefine space travel! It lived the length of its prime mission, and was extremely successful during that time at achieving this goal.

Yesterday I remarked on how many more tools for exoplanet discovery we have today than were available to Harry Stine when he wrote “A Program for Star Flight” in 1973. This posthumous publication of a 1984 manuscript (Enzmann Echolance) describes many of the innovative ideas of Dr. A few tons of food and O2 per crew member/year might be an easier way to go than full recycling, if food can be made shelf stable for a century or more. The short form is this: If your comment is not on topic and respectful to others, I'm probably not going to run it.

Eniac, deuterium was the fuel of choice because it could be fused without requiring a fission primary to make enough neutrons to get the “dry” fusion reaction started.

In any case, he was a rocket man, and it was perhaps inevitable that it would be Project Orion that drew his attention. As for scaling down, if you ever manage to read the original essay by Stine, he was proposing one stage of the initial probes to have small payloads – but to reach the speeds he wanted, the mass ratio was +1,000.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

Enzmann of the Raytheon Corporation proposed an interstellar ark driven by eight nuclear pulse rockets. Kepler carries a photometer, not a camera, that looks at the brightness of stars, and so its optics deliberately defocus light from stars to create a nice spread of light on the detector, which is not ideal for spotting asteroids. Stine points out that a Saturn V without the Apollo escape tower would lie sideways inside this cylinder, which contains nearly a half-million cubic feet of living space. As a fan of Science I decided to do some calculations to determine if the claims of the book is within our technological capabilities today, and the answer I have reached is yes! Reaction Wheel Assemblies are the most crucial but have the lowest reliability of any hardware on a space telescope due to their continuous operation.

Because Stine thought in terms of ships traveling together, his ultimate expedition would be about the size of a small city of 20,000 or so dispersed through ten starships.
