"The Impossibility of Space Travel. Ever."

"The Impossibility of Space Travel. Ever." is a statement made by gaia already before joining the Fakeologist platforms in late 2017. The statement bases itself on commonly taught physics and chemistry, making the Space Travel narratives NOT fit with the physio-chemical model of what "Space" is supposed to be.

The very last part of the quote means a lot for our human existence, namely not only that mankind could NEVER go into Space, it also means aliens, as in visiting extraterrestrials, are impossible for the same physio-chemical causes that we are bound to on Earth.

pressurized cabins

no matter what, how long, how high or how far, any "space craft" needs a pressurized cabin

• 1903 Wright brothers - controlled flight
• 1921 first experimental pressurized cabin
• 1938 Boeing 307 Stratoliner - 350 km/h (220 mph) @ 20,000 ft (6100 m) – the first pressurized airliner to enter commercial service
• 1949 De Havilland Comet - 740-840 km/h - 13-14,000 m - British, Comet 1 1949 – the first jetliner

• 1957 Sputnik ????

• 1958 de Havilland Comet 4 – resolving the Comet 1 problems

• high flying planes
  • 1968 or 1983 !! Tupolev Tu-144
  • 1969 or 1974 !! Concorde

Concorde had a maximum cruising altitude of 18,300 metres (60,000 ft) and an average cruise speed of Mach 2.02 (2,150 km/h; 1,330 mph), more than twice the speed of conventional aircraft.

After ceasing the Tu-144 programme, Tu-144D No. 77114 (aircraft 101 or 08-2) carried out test flights between the 13–20 July 1983 to establish 13 world records registered with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI). These records established an altitude of 18,200 metres (59,700 ft) with a range of loads up to 30 tonnes, and a sustained speed of 2,032 km/h (1,263 mph; 1,097 kn) over a closed circuit of up to 2,000 km (1,200 mi; 1,100 nmi) with similar loads. To put the numbers in perspective, Concorde's service ceiling under a typical Transatlantic flight payload of 10 tonnes is 18,290 m (60,000 ft), and this is higher than the record set by the Tu-144D. According to unverified sources, during a 26 March 1974 test flight a Concorde reached its maximum speed ever of 2,370 km/h (1,470 mph; 1,280 kn) (Mach 2.23) at an altitude of 19,415 m (63,700 ft), and during subsequent test flights reached maximum altitude of 20,700 m (67,900 ft). It is unclear why Tu-144D's maximum achievable altitude would be lower than Concorde's even regular flight altitude...
