3. Intermodal habitat pods in deep-space configuration, either tethered together for spingrav, or linked directly for passengers in hibernation (https://projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/humanfactor.php#id--Suspended_Animation--Space_Torpor) with only the end hab of the tumbling stack hosting waking crew to monitor the sleepers.

2. The rotovator releases the passenger pods, which will be redirected by other rotovators or rocket tugs

1. A surface Mass Driver hands off passenger pods to a rotovator.
Mass Drivers can also throw directly into orbit, but without an atmosphere in the way a rotovator or vertical skyhook can reach down directly to a surface track.

A Skyhook over a Barren Planet

One of the planets where I make my mechanical parts.

@mastodonmigration @GottaLaff noone relies solely on #Starlink, espechally given it's big-ass dishes.

  • Even the #US #DoD uses #Iridium & #UHFSATCOM.

  • #SES & #Eutelsat have various commercial #Cband, #KuBand & #KaBand transponders for bidirectional data from their GSOs.

  • #XTAR has a #Xband-Spotbeam.

  • #Ukraine has both #Fiber and #Radio links (civilian and military) to link together units and emplacements. Espechally direct-burial/lie-flat fiber is used because #COTS parts are cheap, commonplace and unlike copper, they can do 160km+ without amplifiers with ample of room for splices.

Pretty shure Starlink was a mere "comfort feature" allowing units to send their drone footage from their FOB to HQ for instant #Meme|fication and "scoreboard updates" but I'm shure worst-case the #NAFO friends will just pack in some 2,5" SSDs and USB cases with the next supply trucks or have some #Skyhook-Style delivery system if that was ever needed.

  • I'm shure the folks in the trenches will miss YouTubing in their toilet break, but I'm shure they still have enough #Memes and #Entertainment in reserve to compensate for it.
I'm pretty intrigued by the series of #Skyhook tweets from @CIA.
