Maps? Diagrams? What Am I an Artist?
Contrary to what my title suggests, I look forward to the exercises mentioned by Boise in "Step 2: Shaping ideas into imagination." In my previous post, or my BDS for yesterday, although it was entered today as I am consistently showing to be behind, provided a map of the solar system for reference. I am not by nature an astronomer, nor a mathematician, yet I felt a good visualization, as well as knowledge of the distances needed to be travelled, were the foundation of this step. Now, as long as it is possible for a space ship to travel at 1/4 the speed of light, I can begin drawing up timetables and/or schedules of departure and arrival times at selected planets. Also, the current Earth-central timescale would not work for travel to different worlds. Either planet-specific timescales would need to be created, or a solar-system wide timescale. These are perfect candidates for this exercise, though are not able to be acted upon just yet. I still must consult with a physicist in order to discuss feasibility.
