Talk:GG Spaceship in 'raw' format
The GG spaceship will be a custom-built SpaceX Starship. The ship will be called "the Irwin", named after one of the members of Apollo 15 (James Irwin). It will have 7 floors, each one 8 feet tall. Floor 6 and 7 will have the flight deck (with 8 chairs for the crew, and lots of control panels). FIXTHIS - what will floor 5 of the transport starship have? Floor 5 will have ??? Floor 4 will be a shared dining and exercise space, that will double as a meeting area. It will also have life support, and emergency shelters. Floor 3 will be crew cabins (45 of them), spaced around the perimeter of the circular floor. Floor 2 will be additional storage The bottom floor (1) will have the airlock and lots of storage. The internal diameter of lunar starship will be == How many people can fit in a starship, for Mars (from facebook Jan 2025) == See https://www.facebook.com/61556839923474/posts/122201146148227997/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v {{{ How Many People Can Fit in a SpaceX Starship for a Mars Mission? 🤔 Ever wondered how to estimate the maximum crew size for a SpaceX Starship heading to Mars? Let's dive into it! 🌌 The Starship has about 1000 m³ of usable space (excluding fuel). To figure out how many people can comfortably live and work on board, we’ll consider: 1️⃣ Volume for supplies and equipment 2️⃣ Living quarters and common areas 3️⃣ Mission duration and consumables per person Breakdown: Food: NASA recommends 1.83 kg/day per person. For a 910-day mission, that’s 1,665 kg (~2 tons) per crew member! Oxygen & Water: With advanced recycling tech like electrolysis, Sabatier reactors, and ISS-level water systems, oxygen and water requirements are minimal, but let’s add reserves for safety. Equipment: Refueling systems and cargo take up about 4.5 decks (approximately 500 m³). Living Space: The remaining 2.5 decks (~500 m³) house the crew, allowing private quarters for couples, common areas, and exercise facilities. Estimated Crew Size: Based on my calculations in "Colonizing Mars," a mission can accommodate 10–15 people comfortably, depending on the layout and mission specifics. Key Considerations: Efficient use of space for both living and work. Enough supplies and contingency reserves for a 910-day journey (round trip). }}} [[image:possible-starship-configuration.jpg|width=400]]
