How fast can we get to Mars? 🚀 That depends on your engine.Listen to LTC Will Koch and the West Point Dean, BG Reeves, discuss Space Science and modern warf...
You can freeze it before launch, but you’d have to freeze it again before reentry. Not possible, especially if you’re talking about lining a craft with it during months of space travel. Water expands when frozen, and contracts when liquid. Metal does the opposite. How would you engineer that?
Build the hypothetical ship in space and you never have to deal with it except as ice, which is easier to move around and shape into what you need.
The ISS has a lot of liquids on board in all sorts of forms, from chicken soup, to ink pens, to the urine inside astronaut bladders. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
Water doesn’t have to be a liquid, but don’t actual spacecraft typically contain liquids during wall of those cases? What do you mean?

Do you even know what question you’re responding to anymore? Wtf
Why can’t it stay liquid?
Didn’t think I needed to stoop to that level. Thought I was talking to about obvious things and didn’t want to sound patronizing.
Thanks for clearing that up.
