GO INCREDIBLY FAST Limitless Space Institute 2022-04-25 | LSI is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, for more information, visit us at limitlessspace.org/. LSI is pleased to present the short inspirational-educational film titled “Go Incredibly Fast”. The purpose of this short film is to identify the perennial time-distance problem of human space exploration beyond Mars and to identify a few propulsion approaches we might utilize to send humans to all the worlds in our solar system and reach out across the vast distances between stars. The spacecraft architectures highlighted in the film are nuclear electric propulsion (known physics, known engineering), fusion propulsion (known physics, unknown engineering), and finally space warps (unknown physics, unknown engineering). This film is targeted for a broad audience with the purpose of triggering interest to dig deeper and learn more - there really is much more to know and learn. There are other approaches that might be utilized to great effect as well such as solar sails, beamed energy propulsion, anti-matter propulsion to name but a few - the film is just the tip of the iceberg! We hope you enjoy the film, and if it leaves you inspired to learn more, take action…enabling bold exploration of our outer solar system and the stars is an all-hands-on-deck challenge.Godspeed!The LSI TeamGO INCREDIBLY FAST - CREDITSDirected by Erik WernquistWritten by Erik Wernquist & Harold “Sonny” WhiteNarrated by Harold “Sonny” WhiteMusic by Cristian SandquistVisuals compositing by Erik Wernquist & Andreas WicklundTitles and Graphics by Erik Wernquist & Mikael HallIXS Enterprise Starship design by Mark Rademaker & Harold “Sonny” WhiteIXS Enterprise Starship model by Mark RademakerOther Starship and Spacecraft designs by Erik WernquistOther Starship and Spacecraft models by Erik Wernquist & Svante SegelssonNarration and Sound Recording by Fro Cespedes
Real Acceleration & Impulse Limits of Light Sails Limitless Space Institute 2024-10-25 | Dr. Richard Norte shared the results of his work on super light-weight sails that will eventually be propelled through space with Earth-based lasers. He expects that this technology will yield a spacecraft that can travel at 0.2 times the speed of light.
Why Should We Go to Space? Limitless Space Institute 2024-10-23 | Our LSI intern, Bhavi, is back in school, but she's also still working on videos designed to inform us about the future of space exploration. But she can't do that if we don't have a proper foundation on which to build. With that in mind, she has produced a video about why we send people and probes to space in the first place and how space exploration has impacted our daily lives.Also, if you are interested in Bhavi's other digital content, check out the links below.Bhavi's YouTube channel: youtube.com/@bhavishyaavigneshBhavi's TED Talk: youtube.com/watch?v=Ri7fAY2vIQE&pp=ygUSYmhhdmlzaHlhYSB2aWduZXNoBhavi's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bhavishyaa-vignesh-217626216?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app

IXL 01 Galileo creation Limitless Space Institute 2021-04-09 | Mark Rademaker pulled together a very nice video to show the story of how the IXL-01 Galileo shuttle concept went from a simple sketch to a stunning digital model of what might be possible – looks amazing! We were given permission from CBS studios to use the Galileo logo from the shuttle in the Star Trek (original series) episode titled Galileo 7. The logo you see on the IXL-01 in the video is an actual screen grab from the episode that was corrected for perspective. So part of that classic Star Trek episode is now a part of the IXL-01. Kudos to Mark!
