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.

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! 🙂
Here is a link http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/ ... 9220111104
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.
