Solomon Epstein developed the Epstein Drive. During the maiden test flight, a malfunction occurred, the highly efficient Fusion Reaction Engine accelerated his yacht past the point of survivability. Solomon died with his ship while still accelerating into space.
Who invented the Epstein drive?
Solomon «Sol» Epstein Solomon "Sol" Epstein was the inventor of the Epstein Drive, a modified fusion drive.
What happened to Ganymede The Expanse?
Wreckage from the mirrors and ships would be pulled down to Ganymede's surface by the Moon's gravity, crushing large parts of the station and port there, killing civilians and soldiers alike.
Who is Epstein on The Expanse?
Sam Huntington Sam Huntington: Solomon Epstein Jump to: Photos (1)
What kind of engine is the Epstein drive?
Total power output: 96.8 Terawatt. Engine's Thrust to Weight Ratio: Presumably over 3 (The Roci has a dry TWR of 2.6) Fusion type: D-He3 (1:2 mixture ratio)
Who created Protomolecule?
The Protomolecule was created by extra-terrestrials around two billion years in the past, and launched as one of the Bracewell probe swarm at trajectories towards the stars harbouring planetary systems having conditions for the emergence and evolution of some molecular replication mechanism.
Who attacked Ganymede?
protomolecule hybrid Outcome. The Ganymede incident was an event where a human-protomolecule hybrid attacked soldiers from the Martian Congressional Republic and United Nations Marine Corps on Ganymede, killing all personnel except Gunnery Sergeant Roberta Draper.
Can we colonize Ganymede?
It is possible to colonize and terraform Ganymede. Ganymede has salt water ice. But probably by the near future, people would probably remove salt before it could be drinkable. Ganymede could have a subsurface ocean.
Who started the fight above Ganymede?
1 Answer. Show activity on this post. A lot of this goes unmentioned (probably due to lack of time) in the TV series but essentially the battle was caused due to the attack by the proto-moloecule warrior created by the Protogen Corporation and a misunderstanding of the situation by Earth/UN and Mars forces.
How Fast Is Epstein drive?
The Epstein drive technology allows for >250 ton spacecraft to accelerate for several hours at 5g with bursts of up to 12g, achieving a deltaV of 4000km/s, while not having any radiators and a tiny propellant fraction.
