It is much stronger than graphite.<BR/><BR/>Slaved robots are sometimes called 'asimovs', but many people dislike the name, as it seems disrespectful to the memory of the good Doctor.Steve Bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436989163587293544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11309568.post-43205136126039948852007-09-30T04:55:00.000-07:002007-09-30T04:55:00.000-07:00Hydrogen is relatively plentiful in the outer syst...Hydrogen is relatively plentiful in the outer system, and can be imported by diverting frozen icy asteroids to impact Mars; a detailed plan for this process was drawn up by Robert Zubrin. Aim the asteroids to impact on the Martian ice-caps and you can cause the ice to partially melt, improving the effciency of the process.Steve Bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436989163587293544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11309568.post-73191054558098100962007-09-06T19:04:00.000-07:002007-09-06T19:04:00.000-07:00Graphene slab?

As for producing water, CO2 and nitrogen, the carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen part are easy enough. It's the hydrogen part that the colonists would have trouble with. The other three are in abundance in Sol's solar system. Hydrogen is rare and transmitted through solar rays from the intense fusion reactor of the sun. <BR/>how is the word sol used in the quote “Space Rocket Meteorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00636672328341431425noreply@blogger.com
