Full analysis of an active magnetic shielding system based on 8m wide coils generating a 1 T field within them, expandable to 16m and 1.5T.
About 1700m^3 would be protected using a 53 ton system, with no field penetrating the habitat interiors.

Earth's magnetic field is not generated by a spinning ball of iron, but by convection spirals within the Outer Core.
80% of the geodynamo is driven by 'chemical convection': a cooling Inner Core can no longer dissolve as much light elements and ejects them, causing them to rise.
"*on* Earth" because there's several oceans worth of water deep in the mantle.
The total amount of water within the Earth might be 3x more than what's on the surface.

Preparing for descent to Mars.
It looks like landers based on real world aerobraking designs next to a much more advanced spaceship.

Another Venus 'flagship' mission, featuring a multi-year orbiter, SmallSat observers, an Aerobot that would circumnavigate the planet for 60 days and a separate 30kg lander with cooling for 7 hours.
Total $185m and 9584 kg.

A US Navy aircraft carrier intercepting a combined attack by cruise and hypersonic missiles.
The planes on the deck won't be happy with the resultant shower of debris!
Excellent #art by 'jeffbearholy'.
