To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Oh For The Want Of A Stardreamer

Just noticed that the Mars 500 mission finished after 520 days. This was a fake mission to Mars to test how well astronauts would cope with such a long journey. Would have been a lot quicker if they had a stardreamer! 🙂

Gyrostasis or whateverits called.

Stardreamer sound like some IP ripoff naming.

Well its a test for reallife missions.

We don't have the tech to put people in stasis like it a routine thing. So thats falles under fiction.

So mission are restricted far from misson lenghs where it would be high in need.

I would think more on movie where space mission wenn to a thriller because some crew member snapped and kill fellow members. Space sanity.

That why they put couples in there instead dozen hetro men and a few lesbians.
