    landing on mars

    hi there, i've been struggling a bit with landing on mars in the DG-IV in that i always seem to end up skimming just above the surface at about 1.5k whenever i try and land. i was wandering how you guys all slow down enough as even if i try and aerobrake at some massively steep AOA im still...

    Question Returning Earth from the Moon

    point the nose at the earth and floor it till orbit mfd is basically a straight line towards the earth, not the most efficient method but results are more exciting.

    does most of the world really hate america

    i think we should all just sit down with a couple of beers and chat, you'll soon realise that we're pretty much all the same and if there are differences then who cares, variety is the spice of life.

    Venus Balloon Station: Ideas and development

    plants use oxygen in respiration (sugars to carbon dioxide and water) however under the correct conditions they produce more oxygen via photosynthesis than they use, algae are the best at removing carbon dioxide gram for gram as i assume is the important bit for spaceflight especially of the...

    Aerobic digestion

    i just dug out my text book and found that cellulose can be comprised of 1000's of glucose molecules linked together so im sorry for the confusion there, the breaking down of cellulose gives full respiration (ie carbon dioxide and water release). respiration by bacteria breaks down all the...

    Aerobic digestion

    cellulose is a massive molecule and varies in size immensely between parts of cells let alone whole organisms so it is very difficult to quantify it, cellulose is basically long chains of glucose stuck together though so the basic respiration equations should hold true enough.I'm not entirely...

    Aerobic digestion

    cellulose is digested by bacteria by removing the branches on the molecule and then removing 3 carbon molecules at a time to feed into the respiratory chains.however i stress that degredation of human waste is not to release sugars, it is to release nitrates and other elements, this is so that...

    Aerobic digestion

    aerobic digestion is respiration, C6H12O6 + 6 02= 6CO2 + 6H20 there is very little glucose left in human waste it mostly consists of long chain undigestable sugars such as cellulose and other waste products which the body cannot utilise. However bacteria etc are more than capable of breaking...
