Great at demonstrating his art and the time it takes
Haven't watched them all, wondering if there's one with him green screened out apart from his hands. Guess it would be rather irritating to have to dress up to shoot endless stills.

I hadn't seen anything this old though.
It's 3 hours long - maybe there should be a tickbox next to the NSFW etc. ones that says "I've watched more than half of this".
(NSFW, for 90s risque)
If there were, I wouldn't be tickng it yet. Think I'll take it in half hour chunks.
Also, in a chronologically similar vein, I just started watching The Young Ones from the start, with my 19 yr-old step-daughter. She was both transfixed and apalled at the same time :-)

Solar radiation management with a tethered sun shield
This paper presents an approach to Solar Radiation Management (SRM) using a tethered solar shield at the modified gravitational L1 Lagrange point. Unlike previous proposals, which were constrained by the McInnes bound on shield surface density, our proposed configuration with a counterweight toward the Sun circumvents this limitation and potentially reduces the total mass by orders of magnitude. Furthermore, only 1% of the total weight must come from Earth, with ballast from lunar dust or asteroids serving as the remainder. This approach could lead to a significant cost reduction and potentially be more effective than previous space-based SRM strategies.

So the McInnes bound ...
Is that something to do with the energy needed to keep an object with significant surface area held at L1 against the effects of the solar wind?
And the "tethering" relates to suspending a dense mass on the sol-ward side of L1 to counteract the solar wind forces?
(
mechos, Mon 24 Jun 2024, 20:37,
Reply)
Basically
You place a large mass in front of L1 (which could be an asteroid or manufactured from dust launched from the moon), fix magic nanotube tethers to that, then hang a large sail-like shield structure from it that sits behind L1. The gravitational and solar forces should then even out, so the anchor pulls sunward and the shield pulls Earthward and the whole thing stays perfectly in place for ever and ever.
It's that last point I have most trouble with. The entire megastructure would need active station-keeping just by virtue of being at L1, either mechanical control of the tethers so the shield acts as a propulsive sail, or some kind of ion-propellant-based reaction control/orbital manoeuvring system. If you choose the latter, then why not just use that as the basis of the design and do without the anchor (and the magic nanotube tethers)?
I wish they'd get a move on, I'm seriously too warm.

Realistically the alternative to lifting 35kTon to L1 isn't going to be lifting 3.5MTon to L1, it's going to be not doing it at all and finding a more feasible scheme.
I don't even want to think about the logistics of shifting that amount of mass up from the surface. We don't have a space elevator or torch drive, so the only thing that comes to mind would be Project Orion, and I can't see Greanpeace getting onside with that, no matter what the goal.

It's only about twice the mass of what's in orbit now (according to the paper)
and considering how launch rates are increasing recently it's hardly the most problematic aspect of this proposal.
I quite like the idea of launching shit-tonnes of ash to L1, seems like a thing we could do rapidly.
