This is a kind of weird request, but does anyone have reputable sources on elemental abundances for the asteroid belt? Specifically for the abundance of Uranium, although other elements would be useful too.
Like. She met the wind. And it was a crazy summer of love. But then things get real and her dad gets mad and bans them from meeting, but then the wind is all I'm wind, and its the 1800's so I know your place isn't wind proof so she and the wind decide to run away together and it gets all dramatic where she climbs to the top of a light house or something to meet the wind and her dad shows up with a shotgun...then she jumps off and the wind takes her away
What in the hell were we talking about...sure I could look it up, but its more fun to imagine.
Like, there are areas on earth where it's really common, and areas where it's really rare. It's probable that whatever body broke up to make the asteroid belt was the same, so you'd have some that were heavy in uranium, and some that had none.
Well, Then they could either be really efficient, Or they could do something else, like fuse H3, which they could get by dipping into Saturn/Jupiter.
@AndyD273 That works for interplanetary travel (just have them poop using a coilgun). But to cross interstellar distances in just a couple of millennia, you need something a bit heftier on the exhaust velocity side.
Carrying your own fuel for interstellar voyages is kind of a iffy proposition anyway unless you have an extremely efficient drive system. The effort needed to accelerate all the fuel up to some percentage of C that you need to accelerate the ship up to some percentage of C is not the best solution...
I'd go with some kind of bussard ramjet
Eat enough ice in system to build up a big supply of hydrogen, then accelerate out of the system fast enough to collect enough interstellar hydrogen to keep fueling the fusion rocket...
It becomes a self sustaining process, with hydrogen bladders kept in reserve just in case you enter a hydrogen desert somewhere in there...
@HDE226868 Thanks, but I've found some sources and they all seem to be leaning in the same direction (my idea ain't feasible). Again, thanks for offering though.
After submitting a question elsewhere, it has been suggested that I move my question here here.
How would planet formation within an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy impact its solar systems and planets?
From the research I've done, this is what I know, but other's may have more insight into what these...
@Mithrandir24601 ah, basically you mentioned that how they wound up in their respective pickles depended on what country they were dumped into, and I responded to that saying that you could use the UK as an example :) and I could give comparison marks for the US
@Mithrandir24601 country or city, your pick for each of them, although don't forget to account for their...implements of villainy if you will (Euron having the Silence, Cersei having the Mountain, and Daenrys having Drogon)
