Enzmann Echolance: Reach For The Stars

Product Information

Sedjak “Its just a thought, and probably thought of to some degree by many, but why not send a robotic probe(s) to Kepler with a self-contained reaction wheel(s)/solar panel/sighting/guidance/communications assembly. In any case, he was a rocket man, and it was perhaps inevitable that it would be Project Orion that drew his attention. The spacecraft would be modular, and the main living area would be three identical 300 feet (91 m) wide and long cylindrical modules. If that was really possible, that seems to me to be starting to get into the realm of the possible, rather than fantastic.

A possible explanation is the lack of fuel tanks – this may decrease the dry mass fraction considerably. The ball of frozen deuterium would fuel thermonuclear-powered pulse propulsion units, similar to Project Orion engines.This book reveals that the construction and launch of Echolance fleets can be accomplished without major technological breakthroughs, at surprisingly affordable cost, in a relatively short time, and with beneficial consequences for humans who remain on the Earth, as well as for those who open up the cornucopia of interstellar space. This one covers Yuri Gagarin's visit to my adopted home of Moldova, and some rare historical documents. I see Bob Enzmann's work as being one of the few things that the public can latch onto that will enable everyone to have a greater vision of humanity, a greater chance of survival for humanity, and something that will truly begin to lift us up and become an advanced civilization. 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!

We’re already in the gravy train period — there’s still a year and a half’s worth of data in the pipeline that scientists will analyze to identify other candidate planets, and there will continue to be Kepler science discoveries for quite some time. 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. Early versions were said to have 8 engines and later 24 nuclear rocket engines, which would be powered by the fusing of deuterium into helium-3.Many, many factors have been taken into account, including things like genetic heath of the crew and passengers for generations, (though it is not a generation ship). The proposed method of tank construction would be to expand a plastic balloon in space and coat it with metal. He thought starflight was a mere 40 or so years away, a sentiment that seems all too naïve today given the amounts of energy that would need to be produced, but one that by its fierce commitment to the future can still be inspiring. It could securely latch on (glue, snakebot, insert wild idea here) in the most appropriate configuration and without having to hack into Kepler’s innards, independently correct for the broken reaction wheel.

I mentioned at the outset of this series on 1970s starship projects that among some designers, at least, it was a time of immense optimism. The Enzmann could function as an interstellar ark, supporting a crew of 200 but with space for expansion. A common feature was that the crew area was replicated 3 times for redundancy, and a common core pillar ran the length of the spacecraft and through the center of each habitation unit. At 30%, relativistic effects between people on Earth and on the spacecraft, such as time dilation would become more noticeable, such as the shipboard time being less than the Earth observed time. My own ancestors never saw their native Germany again after making a short 3,000-mile sea voyage a couple of hundred years ago; but I’ve been back several times.What’s important is that most of the candidates are too faint for atmospheric characterization or for mass (and thus density) determinations (except for masses that can be determined (well) for some multiple systems from transit timing variations and for fewer systems from ellipsoidal variations and doppler boosting (not so well for these techniques)). Have you ever dreamed of soaring through the cosmos, leaving Earth’s gravitational pull behind as you gallivant between galaxies?
