"Go watch Planetes and think about what you said." I must admit, I've seen all of Planetes and I'm not a huge fan of it. I find it hard to believe that there was no mission past the asteroid belt at the start of the anime, even though there was at least one Lunar settlement with over 100,000 people. With that much daily traffic between the lunar cities and earth, it seems a bit odd that nobody would make a ship with a ton of reaction mass and and go to and from Jupiter in a relatively short period of time. I mean, fusion engines are confirmed to exist in the planetes universe and SSTOs seem rather common. I see no reason why it would take them so long. Also the ending to the show was rather disappointing, and there were several points where I was angry at the characters and their motivations, but it would spoil the anime if I went into it further. The best character in the show was the Lunarian Girl tbh fam. I know this is a super-late reply to this, but it's a point worth observing when talking "realism". Planetes had realism. The mission to Jupiter was using a Tandem Mirror Engine - Planetes was limited by current and reasonably near-future NASA/ESA technology. At that level, getting to the moon takes 3 days. Getting to the asteroids takesmore than a year. Jupiter takes 1-3 years at best. If you get resupplied once a week (or twice a month, even), it's easy to maintain multiple colonies. When resupply happens once or twice a decade, you're only going to have prestige missions like the one shown, no real infrastructure exists outside Earth orbit to support anything major. |

Jupiter takes 1-3 years at best. Earth to Jupiter can easily be 3 and a half months in CoaDE with MPDs. Not even an optimized trajectory here... Yes, this is a customized sandbox level. I ended it orbiting Jupiter along with Callisto (a great colony target). Mars and Ceres orbits included for reference.  Back ontopic, newageofpower , my senpai swag count is three. [1] [2] [3] |
