Delta-V: Designing the Asteroid Mining Ship 'Konstantin'

I enjoyed Delta-V, but Daemon and Freedom IMO were much more entertaining

One of my favorite recent hard sci fi novels. The science and engineering were all real, plausible, and the story was fun too.

Not a single radiator on that thing.

Not related to the novel, but what is the current biggest technological challenge to asteroid mining?

Wonderful book and very thought provoking. Agreed on Daemon being fantastic. I read these as audio books on the treadmill .. can't give it a higher recommendation.

in Delta-V - one character goes on a rant about how Mars is pretty much a dead end. Does anyone know how true this is?

I couldn&#x27;t find it on en.wikipedia, but Konstantin (the man) seems to have been a precursor of transhumanists: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fr.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Constantin_Tsiolkovski#Cosmisme" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fr.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Constantin_Tsiolkovski#Cosmism...</a> .
