Report: Planets will collide in 5 billion years - 0 views

  • Mercury, Mars, Venus and Earth to smash into each other, either one at a time or all at once
  • by the end of that same 5 billion years the sun will have burned up its hydrogen and in a cooler state will inflate itself
  • the great "gas giants" of the outer solar system - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - are extremely stable in their orbits, so they could remain where they are for a much longer time
  •  
    Interesting, but obviously something is wrong. How the big giants can remain still if the inner planets and the sun vanish at the same time !

    In similar story (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-spacex-rocket-elon-musk-20110405,0,3234336.story) the quote: " "This is a rocket of truly huge scale," said Musk, adding it would have the capability to one day enable moon or Mars missions." tells a lot about the ambition of it...

    even bigger booster also coming: China Aims To Build World's Largest Rocket "Back in March, China revealed it is studying the feasibility of designing the most powerful carrier rocket in history for making a manned moon landing and exploring deep space, according to Liang Xiaohong, vice head of the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. The rocket is envisaged to have a payload of 130 tonnes, five times larger than that of China's current largest rocket. This rocket, if built, will eclipse the 53 tonne capacity of the planned Falcon 9 Heavy from SpaceX. It will even surpass the largest rocket ever built, the 119-tonne Saturn V."
