If the bag must carry that much pressure it must be much heavier. Easier to carry with you a bag Tue, 05 Jan 2010 22:48:19 GMT mtmorganism http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3041 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3041 Ok, guess i was thinking too small. Posted the link for Seasteading. They have gotten a half mill in donations so far, have made a proposal for building the Tue, 05 Jan 2010 22:09:02 GMT mtmorganism http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3040 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3040 It seems these bags closure is still going to be tricky. Would like them to be able to mate to can's, so we could dump gases into them, and partially Tue, 05 Jan 2010 10:09:30 GMT EOS Mars Program http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3039 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3039 Some interesting progress here. The text of this email is complete, but some less informative images have been deleted to allow transmission through my email Tue, 05 Jan 2010 01:05:46 GMT mtmorganism http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3038 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3038 Here is something to start on now. http://seasteading.org/ Just build our own launch site. No political problems, no local wars, and can move to wherever the Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:13:06 GMT EOS Mars Program http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3037 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3037 Just a line in way of a progress report on the Hopper component breakdown, for what so far has only been a day's work. I have been using some online industry Mon, 04 Jan 2010 23:24:05 GMT mtmorganism http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3036 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3036 Well, not a full package without the equatorial launch facility, and other in orbit safe houses. Am trying to find the the link for the floating sea cities, Mon, 04 Jan 2010 23:08:37 GMT mtmorganism http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3035 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3035 Oops, forgot to take the trash out ! to empty these bags (which are now shaped like cones), we strip 'em off the xmas tree, drop 'em point first into a hex Mon, 04 Jan 2010 23:03:02 GMT mtmorganism http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3034 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3034 Agree with the bags for NEO's, comets and belt stuff. These should be long triangles, with gaping mouths that can be sized to fit over hoppers and wide enough Mon, 04 Jan 2010 21:25:24 GMT mtmorganism http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3033 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3033 I think we should just start our own corp. We are trying to think of ways to get folks to take our ideas, develop our systems, and take the profits. why don't Mon, 04 Jan 2010 06:15:37 GMT james brown http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3032 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3032 Yes but I would say: The time has come to be doing more than just communication and orbital surveillance. There are great potentials we have hardly touched.

I only said to spin the pole Sun, 03 Jan 2010 13:42:13 GMT Ueli Scheuermeier http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3030 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3030 Guys, Seems to me a separate thread is evolving here: How to go "public" with what we have. Okay then, let's have that separate thread, ie. PRESENTATION. I Sun, 03 Jan 2010 13:28:54 GMT Ueli Scheuermeier http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3029 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEAmines/message/3029 Been thinking - and visualizing in my head.....( - nothing like Jan can do, and I hope he can pick this up and take it somewhere?). What got me thinking is
