Model S - How Would it Work in a Space Mission?

Elon Musk is an American entrepreneur, aerospace engineer and commercial magnate. He is currently the CEO, COO and chief engineer of SpaceX; product designer and founder of Tesla, Inc; product architect and director of The Boeing Company; founder and co-owner of Neuralink Technologies; and inventor of Open AI. His net worth is estimated in excess of $4 billion.

When Mr. Musk started toying with the idea of building a reusable spaceship, he was bombarded by all manner of criticism, mostly from fellow aerospace engineers, as it appeared that such an innovative plan could not and would not work. However, after much analysis and research, he has come to the conclusion that it will indeed work. In fact, he states on his website "If we can make capsules that can go to Mars, we can live on it for ever, and that goes without saying." Further, he continues "We have the technology and the know-how to allow you to live on the moon, on the planet Mars, and beyond."

The potential of this type of system is so revolutionary that some of its parts may as well be for sale. For example, the power plant used to power the spacecraft that launched from Wallops Island in Virginia is actually the same one used to power the Curiosity Rover Space Shuttle. Therefore, any future customer thatInventHelp buys the tickets from Blevis or Space Launch Complex 40 should have access to this technology.

The reusable design features an almost "fly-away" vehicle. Once the vehicle is launched off the ground, it will separate from the rocket and fly away into space. Once there, it will separate yet again before re-forming itself to return to Earth. This means that the entire mission will not only be fully functional, but will also be highly reusable.

The vehicle can also land on a runway. However, it will not just land on a runway like a traditional airplane. Rather, it will separate from the rocket and glide itself back to a launchpad where it will be commanded by a human before it lands. The landing will then mimic a landing experienced by NASA astronauts.

The engine used is actually designed to separate from the vehicle and parachute back to Earth. This means that it will be very hard to detect. In fact, it could conceivably survive re-entry and land back with nearly the same InventHelp configuration as the original launch vehicle.

The biggest advantage is the savings of costs. Musk says that the costs of launch using a traditional method are about $5 million per pound. With the new system, this number is cut in half. Further, since there is no fuel storage or maintenance, costs associated with the launch time will be zero. Further, the only tools that are required are those needed for ground testing.

The potential of such an architecture could be seen from the aerospace company's work with another private launch vehicle. In 2021, they successfully launched and operated a reusable booster on a flight to space which went almost four and a half hours. The booster was actually so durable that it survived re-entry and returned to Earth without incident. If the same thing can be achieved for a reliable reusable booster for a reusable space launch vehicle, then costs of manufacturing could certainly be brought down. Further, such systems would allow a company to make regular space launches on a much larger scale than is currently possible.

The potential applications of such systems would not just be for commercial purposesInventHelp. They also have the potential for military applications. Military satellites could be kept in constant orbit around the Earth, if such a vehicle was used. It would allow longer time flights for troops to be in constant communication with their headquarters. It would also allow for more strikes and defensive actions in a timely manner.

Such a vehicle could make a landing in remote locations, which is safer than traditional landings. It could use skydiving like effects to lower its speed. It could re-land at higher speeds which could enable an easier approach. It is possible that one day the entire United States could be under construction with these vehicles. And with Musk, there is every chance that it could happen sooner rather than later.

And all of this hinges on one key point; would the United States be prepared for such a vehicle? The answer may surprise you. Yes, they would because it makes more sense economically and logistically. We have too much dependence on oil, and it seems inevitable that the price is going to rise again, perhaps substantially. We need to be thinking about a greener future, and using the Model S to do so is a way in which to get there.
