1
Getting to space is hard.
2
Right now, it's like going up a mountain on a unicycle with a backpack full of explosives.
3
Incredibly slow, you can't transport a lot of stuff, and you might die.
4
A rocket needs to reach a velocity of about 40,000 km an hour to escape from Earth.
5
To get to that speed, rockets are mostly containers for fuel with a tiny tip of payload.
6
This is bad if you want to go to other planets, because you need a lot of heavy stuff if you want to survive and maybe even come back.
7
So is there a way to get to space with less fuel and more payload?
8
A nice thing that solved most of our transport problems on Earth is what you call infrastructure infrastructure.
9
Whether it's roads for cars, ports for ships or rails for trains, we've made it easier to get to places.
10
We can apply the same solution to space travel.
11
Space infrastructure will make getting into orbit and out to the moon, Mars and beyond easier and cheaper.
12
Great, but what exactly is space infrastructure?
13
Unlike an Earth space elevator which is currently science fiction, there is a simple yet promising technology that does not require new science,
14
magic materials or huge investments and that has been tested successfully in orbit already.
15
A cable and a weight, known as a tether.
16
The concept is so simple, it's surprising.
17
What if we put tethers, hundreds or thousands of kilometers long, into space and had spacecraft use them as ladders to climb to higher altitudes and gain speed.
18
This concept is known as the skyhook.
19
It works even better if we make it spin.
20
A counterweight holds a long cable in place while it rotates around a circle.
21
A rotating tether slows down its tip relative to the ground at the bottom
22
and speeds it up at the top like a catapult.
23
This means that you can transfer energy from the tether and get a massive boost when released, more or less for free, equal to twice the tether's rotation velocity.
24
Specialized fibers already exist that can survive the extraordinary stresses a skyhook would be faced with.
25
To protect against cuts and collisions from debris and meteorites, we can thread our tether into a web of redundant fibers.
26
Since our skyhook would pass over the same spot many times a day, this would allow small, reusable shuttles to catch up with it.
27
Of course, it's not that easy.
28
At its lowest point, the tether's tip is dashing through the atmosphere at around 12,000 km per hour.
29
Because of Earth's atmosphere, we can't lower the skyhook too much, or it will get too hot from air friction.
30
So it will dip to a height of 80 to 150 km and no lower.
31
To match this, we'll need specialized spacecraft that can get to the tether.
32
While this isn't exactly easy, it's still much cheaper than getting a big tin can filled with rocket fuel to go 40,000 km an hour.
33
Catching the tip will be a challenge too.
34
There's only a short time window of 60 to 90 seconds
35
to find a tiny thing in the sky moving at Mark 12.
36
To make this easier, the tip could have a sort of fishing line, a kilometer long, with a navigation drone that helps the spacecraft connect to connect.
37
Another challenge is keeping our skyhook in orbit.
38
As more and more ships latch onto it and pull themselves up, they use up the momentum that keeps it in place.
39
If we don't do anything, it will slow down and crash into the atmosphere.
40
And here, we can cheat the universe a bit.
41
The Skyhook is a battery of orbital energy.
42
It's possible to balance the payloads coming in and being sent off.
43
Arriving ships bringing humans and materials home to Earth home to Earth, add energy to the tether, which it can give to other ships departing into space.
44
This way the tether doesn't lose any energy.
45
The more we use it, the cheaper it gets.
46
If we're still losing energy with each boost, we can recover it with small electric or chemical engines that regularly correct the tether's position.
47
A set of tethers, one around Earth and one around Mars, could make trips between the planets fast, straightforward and low cost compared to rockets.
48
The Earth Tether would sit in low Earth orbit to grab people and payloads and fling them off to Mars.
49
The Mars Tether catches them and slows them down for a landing on the surface.
50
In the opposite direction, the Tether could pick up a vehicle traveling through Mars' thin atmosphere at only about 1,000 km an hour, not much faster than our airliners on Earth,
51
and fling it back to Earth to be caught and lowered down.
52
The Tethers could shorten trips between both planets from 9 months down to 5 or even 3,
53
and reduce the scale of the rockets required by between 84 and 96%.
54
Even better, people may be able to travel in relative luxury, as we could afford to invest in passenger comfort.
55
Tether travel would be first-class seats to Mars.
56
Together, tethers around Earth and Mars could provide the rapid and cost-efficient transportation backbone that would make space travel affordable.
57
But let's go further.
58
Starting from low Mars orbit, a tether could boost ships to the asteroid belt.
59
The first craft sent to a new asteroid would need rockets to slow down at its destination.
60
Subsequent arrivals might find a tether waiting to catch them and send them back for free.
61
Getting to asteroids cheaply is a major factor in opening up the resources of the solar system.
62
Precious metals and valuable minerals could be delivered to Mars just weeks after they were cut out of their asteroid.
63
They would be the perfect building blocks for our interplanetary civilization.
64
But why stop here?
65
Mars moons are very convenient.
66
No other moons in the solar system orbit that close to their planet.
67
Phobos is so heavy that we don't need to worry about slowing it down, making it the perfect attachment point for supertethers just under 6,000 kilometers long.
68
The lower tip would fly just over the surface of Mars and be very easy to catch.
69
The upper tip can fling ships all the way to Jupiter and Saturn.
70
The same super tether can also bring the inner solar system closer.
71
Venus and Mercury are a single swing away.
72
Unlike Mars, they are bursting with solar energy and are rich in minerals.
73
In the long term, nothing is stopping humanity from constructing a zero-propellant transport network for the terrestrial planets, planets centered on the Martian moons.
74
Tethers are a comparably cheap and sustainable solution to making space travel affordable
75
and the rest of the solar system accessible for exploitation and exploration.
76
Considering that we have the technology to build them today, there's really no good excuse to wait any longer.
77
Parts of the solar system are far away, but they could be very close.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
